I really love this film! Some of my friends strongly disagree. Philistines!
The film centres on 12 year old Ingemar who spends some time thinking he is a dog and barking at people. Everyone just thinks : fine, let him get on with it. Do you see where I am going with this? He meets a young tomboy, Saga, who beats him in a boxing match but eventually they become best friends. Ooh, a tomboy!! Nobody decides to actually treat Ingemar as a dog or to say that Saga must now be a boy because she is a tomboy and is good at boxing. Expanding on this, nobody tells an anorexic girl that she really is fat or a child who says she or he wants to commit suicide that that is a jolly good idea!
Only in one area are we told that the wishes of the child ( or the supposed wishes of the child) should be affirmed. I don’t think I need to go any further.
If you ignore my friends and watch this film, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)
By the way, the excitement in the trailer, where Ingemar’s uncle shouts out of the window ‘Hooray for Sweden’ is because ( this is 1959) the Swedish heavyweight, Ingemar Johannson, has just beaten the American Floyd Patterson to win the World Heavyweight title.
I like the last lines of the trailer from Ingemar ( the boy not the boxer):
In fact, I’ve been kind of lucky. I mean, compared to others.
Well, both Saga and him may have been lucky that they weren’t living now!!
I think this counts as number 9 in the Addled Brain series :)
Meet Nohun
Nohun is a gay Brummie rapper and comedian. He was just about to go on tour but seven venues have now cancelled because he said that a man can’t become pregnant (FFS!!!!???). But Nohun is definitely not apologising. Go, Nohun!
Here he is interviewed by Andrew Doyle on GB News:

What’s going on!? That’s the second time I’ve recommended a rapper within a week!! Down with the kids or what?

But for the moment, get those questions in to your local election candidates, Terven!
For readers who are not on Terf Island…well, the same applies to you in your elections!!
Glinner Update
Great (as ever) if horrifying (as ever) update by JL. It’s still amazing that newspapers and other media are referring to ‘she’ and ‘her’ while including photos of obvious hulking blokes!! What will the Independent Press Standards Organisation decide after the recent consultation on the gender issue? I am afraid I am not holding my breath! Hope the Good News comes soon, JL!!

Can I bear to copy and paste the Danish statue? OMG I’m going to do it:
Anyone got a sledgehammer?
We may need to get the other rapper, Samson, onto this!
