Why didn’t JKR spend her money on rape centres, women’s rights and abortion rights?

Because a) she already does, b) she already does and c) we already have those.

But thanks for popping along to mansplain it all to her, and us. Much obliged, I’m sure Hmm

I get they’ve had trans people in TV studios and doing phone interviews since the ruling but doing an actual sit down interview somewhere is a bit overkill? Is the interviewer that Waugh man again or is this Emily’s mum’s connections? EB seems to get primetime slots on ITV for their teenage boy strops.

These people are so thick. JKR is not Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg FFS.

He's got the air of a stroppy teenager who didn't get his own way 😂

We have all lost IQ points after hearing that.

She did, and your brethren were stamping their feet and threatening to sue her and destroy it within 5 minutes of it being announced, Emily Hmm

Bridges seems incredibly immature. And ill informed. And jealous.

And stupid

Did he honestly say she could have spent money getting abortion as a right in the UK!

I suspect that’s what happens when you parrot American rhetoric. Abortion rights are an issue there, not here. Later in the clip he equated JKR with Trump/the MAGA movement.

Have you seen the whole interview - repeated on ITV's News at 10? Sounds like a sulky teenager.

Edited

Well, he sounds like a chap if nowt else!

Uh huh... when are they going to start interviewing the women about the difference it is gong to make to their lives having single sex spaces back ????

When are we going to see what it means to the truly marginalised women, rather than self-centred men??

Wow I love that term phallic drift (learnt in last 3 days, thanks FWR)... it is extraordinarily accurate...
