I was horrified enough earlier to read this tweet, but to see her blind ignorant responses AIBU to think she should never be allowed on tv again? Her judgement today is eye-wateringly offensive...

I don’t agree with her on the gender ideology issue but I like what she has to say on many other issues.

Allthegoodnamesarechosen · 13/08/2022 15:43

Oh dear. Bet she’ll be denying ( sorry, making herself clear) this one in a few weeks time.

Cheekymaw · 13/08/2022 15:50

Silly silly person

She's actually done a fine job throughout today of escalating this beyond it's original horror levels. And I thought that was beyond the pale. Simply unforgivable.

This will be embarrassing for her:

She is as loathsome as Owen Jones.

I doubt Ash will even acknowledge the threats to JKR

There's been a few similar hot takes on Twitter with people attempting to shoehorn their own particular hobby horse into the arena. The Tories are banging on about the perils of multiculturalism and the Lefties are trying to compare it to whatever victim cohort they identify as. The Tories' take was roughly the same in 1988 but back then as I recall Lefties were more concerned with notions of blasphemy and the content of the book in question ie they were talking about the event, not about themselves. That's all changed.

AnyFucker · 13/08/2022 17:26

And I get deleted ? The irony 😄

DoubleShotEspresso · 13/08/2022 17:27

@BoreOfWhabylon I missed @AnyFucker said but yes she did have something like that a while ago .

I'm trying to imagine any comment that could be more offensive than the very reason for this thread 💁‍♀️

Justcallmebebes · 13/08/2022 17:31

Never heard of her but this is her opinion. You may agree, you may not but that is no reason to cancel her

Let's remember that when it is somebody from the right, people disagree with.

LizzieSiddal · 13/08/2022 17:59

She’s often on the moral maze on R4 and the )more intelligent) people she interviews are often speechlesss by her stupidity.

To paraphrase the great Les Dawson, she says all the right words but not necessarily in the right order.

I'm trying to imagine who reported it ( I read it and it was a fair assessment imo)

SirVixofVixHall · 13/08/2022 18:03

Frances Barber’s response excellent.

ApplesandBunions · 13/08/2022 18:04

Not a great 2 hours for her.

Mochudubh · 13/08/2022 18:07

I'm currently politically homeless (thanks Nicola) and during my Google search of who I could vote for in the last local elections, I'm pretty sure the Communist Party came across as GC.

They are but Sarkhar is most definitely not.
