@nicolelampert I'm Jewish and find your callousness towards human life absolutely chilling, the whole of your capacity to express or understand any form of care or compassion hypocritically hinged on the tyranny of tribalism. It is so, so dark

I'm here to say, doing online talks is one of the only sources of income artists have had during the pandemic, PLEASE STOP PUTTING THEM ONLINE unless the artist wants that! The fee does not reflect that kind of "content creation" for online presence. PLUS

God Grayson Perry has really made a career for himself out of being the artist that those who despise art love to love

Over 150,000 people died of covid in the last year. He was 99, lived a life of luxury at our expense. Shuddering at the thought that we are going to pay for his funeral

Big falling outs with "friends" same as 2011, London riots. I DON'T CARE ABOUT OBJECTS, AND PROPERTY. I CARE ABOUT LIVES. This is what I believe. Don't bother having this convo with me please. Thank you.

Me in 2023 talking about my work in exactly the way art students are told not to: “it just came to me” “it’s about existing” “it looks cool”. I had my first show in 2001, I’ve spent 22 yrs carefully architecting an “intuition”, 2023 is the yr I release it without justifications

The biggest thing I’ve learnt from living in England for 20 years is that the English despise pleasure - even lemons are an aspirational frivolity

STRIKE GERMANY is a call to strike launched by a diverse collection of artists, writers, and other cultural workers based in Germany. They call on international colleagues to help them overturn this sordid climate of paranoia, fear, and complicit silence.

Commentators saying election has been flat are lying or don’t have the capacity to see socialist Labour has transformed the country. People going canvassing everyday, taking trains, ill, disabled. You’ve woken our hearts to a reality of what we can do together. Today is a war. 🌹

I have no words for the level of fury and upset this bullshit is creating for Jews on the left. How dare these people speak on behalf of all Jews it’s disgusting and has to stop. It’s the most cynical, twisted, poisonous piece of fiction and it is unbearable frankly

Fascists have babies. Fascists have terminal diseases. Fascists have near death experiences. If only it were so easy to change people and make them see that everyone has a right to live and to live a life of dignity. All Rob is actually conceding is that BJ is a bad, bad person.
