Jeremy Clarkson watched Meghan cry and and say "you're making people want to kill me. It’s not just a tabloid, it’s not just some story, you are making me scared".. And he still thought it was cool to incite violence on her.

A little piece I wrote for today’s i newspaper about why - I think - you don’t see more girls doing maths.
In short: it’s death by a thousand cuts.

Really interesting day yesterday, helping Anne-Marie @Collabedo on her @plastacs stall at @Mandela800 Freedom Fest - these planters she designed were a big hit (as well as the shaker she's holding up in the second picture).
