This GC book!, says a TRA, tagging the Oxford University Press, that bastion of critical thinking that is, you know, doing the job that an academic press should be doing.

Que a plethora of replies, memes of book-burning etc. The best responses are those saying they hadn't seen the book but thanks for the free advertising, and posting THANKS FOR YOUR ORDER screenshots from the OUP.

Fantastic own goal, but to see these overwhelmingly pro-GC, hell, even pro-free speech responses even on captured Twitter is quite a turnaround. Perhaps after all Emily Bridges, Lia Thompson and Kier Starmer have shone more sunlight on this than even they anticipated!

In the meantime I'm watching the replies roll out with popcorn in hand. Truly top-notch entertainment!

The replies that made it through the blockade are amusing.

Daft sod!

Yes I saw this earlier on twitter too (before he protected his tweets from view).

I was heartened by the vast majority of responses to the original tweeter which are deriding his book-burning approach.

I've also added the book to my pre-order list. Looks interesting.

Blocked from the feed! Bloody blocked! So can't see it!

So people who disagree are buying the book to burn? Seems logical

Cant see the tweet as account holder is limiting access

Protected tweets.

Tables have definitely turned. Two years ago the OUP might have pulled the book.

Que? I'm not bloody Manuel. I meant, 'CUE'.

D'oh.
