The ever entertaining TRA power couple Fox and Owl were apparently represented by the same agents as the wonderful Ms Rowling.

They, along with some bloke called Drew Davies, have severed ties because the agents refused to issue a public statement slagging off their biggest client.

Being bastions of professionalism they left by telling the guardian.

The Daily Mail!

They had plenty of the type of article he is refering to earlier in the week.

Thanks Keto, found it.

Andrew Doyle is the creator of Titania McGrath
a fictional 24-year-old "radical intersectionalist poet committed to feminism, social justice and armed peaceful protest" who identifies as non-binary, "polyracial" and ecosexual.
He named her after the Queen of the Fairies because he thinks the Woke are utter fantasists
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titania_McGrath

He also created Jonathan Pie

He's very very funny

Hadn't realised he was Titania!

Every day's a school day!

Wow! Well hopefully it signals the dogs called off JK

Hm, I googled for Andrew Doyle's DM article, started reading it, and then got a sudden crash and a message from my anti-virus that it had aborted a threat. Has somebody hacked the page?

what? he's titania AND pie?!

i did not know that.

Seems to be working

It was working - I opened the article and started reading. But then my antivirus forced it shut - yes, it's done it again. Just exercise caution. It says 'fake comments' - I can't take a screenshot of the warning message but it's coming up on AVG/Firefox.

my pc has broken(?) it is a coincidence, isnt it?

That's odd Scrimpshaw. Is ok on my ipad.

He created Jonathon Pie? You mean he IS Jonathon Pie?
I don't understand! Is he an actor playing a character called J Pie???

The article is fine on my laptop. I use Chrome/McAfee

I don't understand! Is he an actor playing a character called J Pie?

No. That is Tom Walker who created and plays the character.

Doyle has worked on a number of scripts with Walker.

I don't know, maybe my antivirus software is being overzealous. I am guessing ipads/macs generally aren't as open to this type of hacking, but I'm far from knowledgeable on the subject.

The mail has been hacked with some kind of spam code. All I get is a dodgy looking ad for vodaphone. This has been the case for at least a couple of hours.

I get a site claiming to be BT saying I'm one of 10 customers with a chance to win an iPhone, yeah right.

I was getting that when I tried reading the DM comments too, but it has stopped now. That’s the one that spams Mumsnet too, sometimes, though it hasn’t for a while.

Anyway, those comments are 100% behind that article. For the ‘wrong side of history’, it’s starting to get pretty packed. 😁
