More of a Paean by William Gaskell

Bath, 26th May 2015

Think about where you belong
If you don't want to have to behave or conform, then you can always find another way to perform those acts you deem necessary to be you to me. 
Why not move to the city of your choosing? Influence the policy of the local yeomanry so that you are not considered a sex offender, by me, but a player. 
I know it's tough, when the guy whose got your back calls you a loser but it's not just about education: it's the extraneous factor. 
So why not just get involved in society, at last, extinguish those fears that hark back to the past when you were allowed to be like that? 
If you listen to me, I would let you be free, if you would like it, but you must acknowledge that slavery exists and so you should be quiet; 
Unless, of course, you have something to say, which would help in some way, a considered opinion; health, safety and the environment at heart. 
If you have ever crashed a house party then you will know what I mean; you are the hired help so please leave if you don't want to serve. 
Stand next to me and you will look bad, I suggest you give me the slip unless you want to be dead. Then, of course, slip up and die – by any means. 
You are still respected, by God.

Letter to Wera Hobhouse, MP for Bath regarding lived experience in the UK and her new legislation Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023

  I would like to share my recent experiences with you regarding this legislation, and would ask for some advice on my plans for my recovery from schizophrenia.   I feel that I have not received protection from harassment at work for my protected characteristics: I am an Anglo Indian and from a visual inspection look like the leader of the Indian opposition (to my eyesight), yet I have to deal with comments ranging from ‘I couldn’t tell you were Indian’ to ‘you look like you are from Southern Europe’, or ‘where are you from’ even though to my ear I usually speak in the central Bath accent as opposed to RP.     I have the diagnoses of dyslexia, autism and serious mental health (schizophrenia). I have had my mental health triggered recently by a colleague from Banes council harassing me at work, so I quit my job to focus on studying to become a reflexologist.   I am a Christian having been a member of the congregation at Bath Abbey and getting confir...

Comedy London

All the people turned out for his arrival into London. There were the dingbats, the nincompoops, the plonkers, the wallys, the twits. And the geeks and the fashionistas, the good guys and dreadlocked-rastas, the saints and sinners, the bold, the brave, the sad, the lonely. And the game could not tell what outfit he was wearing under his coat, so misplayed their position & ended up with a headache for two weeks. And the gangsters, the hooligans, the rudeboys, the upstarts, the young and the crazed, the depraved were all in total awe of his charisma. And so to were the dunderheads, the dumbos, the cretins, the dullards, the duffnuts, the chuffnuts, the nuts and the dorks. And the berks and the muppets. And everyone was made to feel a buffoon by their own behaviour as every little thing she does is magic.
