Can we have a thread on celebs that have come out with supportive messages for jk rowling? The ones i have seen so far:

Jonathan Ross (although a shit house scared of his daughters)
Robert webb
David baddiel
Kirsty Alsopp

Any others?

Shouldn't that twitter comment be blocked for inciting violence? A la Trump the other day?

Wow, some trans women are not doing the community any favours. That's a very 'angry male' thing to say, imo.

David Aaaronovitch, Times writer, has been very supportive, pushing back on a lot of misogyny. I could swear I saw Stephen Fry post something pro JKR this morning, about she is a good friend and one of the nicest people he knows. But if he did he rapidly deleted it.

I started a new thread on Veronica Ivy - didn't realise there had already been one and that it was deleted. I suppose mine will go soon too.

Bearing in mind that I seem to be slow off the mark today, did others see that David Tennant and David Beckham were reading Chapter 11 of the first Harry Potter to fans?

There were 2. And I asked for my duplicate one tone deleted but the other one has gone now. Why?

I am not sure if this has already posted this but the guardian has an article condemning the Sun headline, especially when so many women are trapped in abusive relationships during lockdown. Apparently #dontbuythe sun is trending on Twitter. It also highlights JKR's stance on the need for single sex spaces where vulnerable women can feel safe.
I was shocked to see that the Editor of the Sun is a woman.

Regardless of anyone's opinion of the person concerned an unauthorised leak of a report which is confidential to Rachel Ivy and her employer shouldn't be up for general discussion on here.

I can't see anywhere if Joe McGann has been mentioned:

Joe also stuck up for Glinner

It looks like he totally gets it, has posted a lot, definitely one to follow.

Cuntysnark · 13/06/2020 20:41

I’m sure Maajid Nawaz tweeted in support of JKR the other day.

1066vegan · 13/06/2020 20:49

Just checked out Joe McGann thanks to this thread. He's retweeted lots of tweets in favour of JKRc and also ones condemning the right wing thugs in London today. He seems a really decent person.

That’s the one Magick. He knows a thing or two about being radicalised so doubt he’ll waver. Must send him a card too.

Cuntysnark · 13/06/2020 21:06

It looks like Shelagh Fogarty supports JKR too. I need to stop looking at LBC people as I’m likely to come across that misogynist who was too stupid to understand the issue a year or two back.

OldeMagick · 13/06/2020 21:22

James O'Brien @Cuntysnark?

Cuntysnark · 13/06/2020 21:48

I couldn’t possibly umm remember...

The actress Catherine Russell retweeted JKRs post, and got a mixed bag of responses, including some pretty vile ones (the usual). But she’s kept the tweet up so good for her.

Has everyone seen tomorrows front page?
