I've enjoyed Josh Glancy's columns before but can't remember him writing on this subject.

I showed the Gervais clip to a school dad at a jubilee party yesterday after he told me that Stonewall were a disgrace and started on about queer theory, thought he was a safe bet Smile

I think we have passed it. JKR faced the gauntlet first, and her book sales weren’t affected. Obviously she is an outlier but people were watching.

Yeah, well that’s great that all those MEN don’t get backlash but it’s probably scant comfort to the restaurant owner whose business was trashed due to hosting JKR.

but let’s hope things improve.
