John Cleese defends JKR

[TheKrakening3]

Thanks mate. The more the merrier.

Well done Mr Cleese.

Now prepare yourself for the TRA onslaught.

Oh they are already unleashing. But we have some lovely new weapons- the Newsnight expose, NHS changing its puberty blocker information and of course JKR.

Haha, coming from the man who co-wrote and acted in the ‘Loretta’ sketch (Life Of Brian) that’s very amusing!

He’s doubling down. Now on women’s sports. Go John!

That Loretta speech in the life of Brian is flipping incredible. Boils down the whole issue in a minutes comedy. here it is in case anyone hasn't seen it!

‘Where’s the foetus going to gestate, in a box ?‘
Classic and so relevant.

“symbolic of his struggle against reality”, indeed!

Glad to see this. Now let's see if he gets a ton of sexualised and aggressive abuse and repeatedly instructed to suck "Girl Dick".

That’s a great sketch, and almost prophetic considering when it was written.

Who’d have thought the Monty Python writers would prove to be latterday prophets?

I came on to post this. He's doing it well too, asking lots of questions so that GC twitter can post links and evidence in the threads.

Am not on twitter but would love to see this! Go JC!!!

I’m amazing at how the TRA’s are not abreast of the recent developments . They are being stopping in their tracks by the Newsnight links. They must be so far in their bubbles. I squashed one who tried to say that puberty blockers were completely reversible with the new NHS guidelines which have been out for weeks. If you want to enter into a gunfight peeps, be prepared.

Sorry for my tense-hopping. Preparing kid’s tea while typing!

Didnt John Cleese agree about the Fawlty Tower episode should be taken down because of racism?
So thats good too.

Well well well, no rape threats or invitations to die in a grease fire, so far. Just friendly attempts at correcting and educating, in a "more in sorrow than anger" kind of way.

can anybody post a link? I’d love to see it.

I had to come off twitter

Not on Twitter but googled it.
Some asking him to ‘educate himself off Twitter‘
Go on John!!!

thanks Teds

Excellent news. 5m followers, and what he says gets reported.
Bring the sunlight .

Well done JC
Well done JKR

I don't want a person with a penis (they/them/whoever they decide to be) in a changing room/toilet/ etc with me. I don't actually care how you identify yourself and whether that changes day to day either (fluid) it's up to you. However, safety first is a must.

"You want to have babies! But you can't have babies, you don't have a womb...."

"Don't oppress me" ...

That clip is so funny and so accurate

Something in the tone of his questions, and the ones he chooses to quote tweet, is giving me a vibe that he knows the answers already.

It's fun watching John Cleese being peaked on Twitter. Now he's got a question about trans women in athletics:
