I seem to be under attack by a spam bot from a washing machine maintenance company based in an Arabic speaking country.
If I don't moderate comments my blog comments will get filled with Arabic washing machine service contract spam.
If you really have a comment feel free to add it, I will try and get round to moderating every day or so.
Abusive, rude or nasty coments may be removed. Or they may be left to discredit whatever cause you feel you are supporting.
Boring repetitions of trans gender orthodoxy will be removed.
