Lady, I'm bloody well expecting you to front up to me. Tory poisoned my life with hatred that you both endorsed and built up. The crossing being repainted isn't an apology. I want people to tell me kanohi ki te kanohi that they tried to make me into a man that only does drag and that their attitudes were genuinely bigoted. I'm getting angry because you and your allies are implying that, no matter what I say or do, that I'm going to end up being your cash cow. It has to be legally valid to say that I earned the right to refuse to licence my IP. The walls feel like they're closing in ... make me feel like people are willing to actually listen when I tell them that I don't want to make a film.
