Yesterday, I placed the text of a petition to the Daily Mail, about the death of Lucy Meadows and the despicable, transphobic column by Richard Littlejohn it had published about her transition. In response, I’ve had forwarded to me this email, about a candelight vigil to be held for her, outside the Daily Mail offices, tonight (Monday 25th March).

For those of you who have been upset and outraged by the Daily Mail’s treatment of Lucy Meadows, a candle-lit vigil is going to be held outside the offices of the Daily Mail on Monday at 6.30pm.

Outside Daily Mail offices.
Monday 6.30pm.
Northcliffe House, 2 Derry Street, Kensington, London W8 5TT.
I got this info from facebook

Amidst extensive on-line commentary, I rather like this simple question, which concludes a short post, “What About Richard Littlejohn?” by PZ Myers at Pharyngula (Freethought Blogs):

So I ask…what about Richard Littlejohn?

More specifically, I’d ask the UK media: do you still hire Richard Littlejohn?

Why?
