Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself...
...and believe me, given the number of posts I've written about Laurie Penny, I've tried. But here is Bella Gerens dismissing Penny in a withering, yet wonderfully concise, way:
She is travelling an extremely well-trodden road bearing the placard of thoroughly-explored philosophies. And the destination, reached so many times before, has benefitted no one except the travellers themselves.Awesome stuff. You really should read the whole thing.

Definitely - the sort of writing that makes me feel faintly envious.
Wonderful - and Miss (Ms) Penny deserves every 'constructive criticism' going.
