Grifter.  Playing to the gallery but made easy by the lefts inability to say ‘no, that’s bollocks’. 


They just love writing ‘receiving significant funds from former Tory donors’ it’s the easy way of saying ‘these cunts really hate the forrin’s, poofs, muslamics, blokes in frocks pretending to be women and uppity wimmins with ideas beyond the kitchen, so much so even the Tories won’t take their cash anymore for fear of embarrassment. A vote for them is a vote for what we all really, really want’

Amanda Craig has been dropped as a competition judge by women’s writing magazine Mslexia over her signing of a letter to the Times in defence of J K Rowling.

Myslexia's decision has provoked controversy on social media; the publication issued a statement to say, while supportive of any woman's right to free speech, "if a Mslexia judge expresses views that threaten to undermine Mslexia’s climate of welcome and inclusivity, we will always ask her to step down from that role". Craig has said she is "very disappointed" by the decision taken after her involvement protesting "relentless bullying and death threats to a fellow author". She also called on professional bodies, including the Society of Authors and English PEN, to defend authors from such bullying.

 

This is the letter. Basically just railing against the culture of bullying rather than mentioning the trans debate. So seemingly she's been ditched for associating her name with someone who's persona non grata.

Saw yesterday Hugo Boss were threatening a Scouse artist whose been selling hats that say, "be boss, be kind".

 

Guess that kind of bullying via the courts wouldn't be cancel culture, even if it stops an artist from expressing themselves freely (and positively). 

 

Meanwhile if there was a mean hashtag highlighting HB being a nazi twat (party member before they were even in power), that would...

After 32 hours of the latest Rowling / Galbraith audio book (almost 1000 pagas in print) I am warming up to the idea she should be taken down a notch. Not every subplot needs to stay in, J K.

I was going to buy that SaSaS should I change my mind, have read all of the others.
