Janice Turner on "The righteous anger train is out of control"

[Igneococcus]

Every Saturday morning her comment is the first thing I read in the Times and she never disappoints:

Janice nails it yet again.

Excellent article. Thank you, Janice.

Janice Turner always writes brilliant pieces in the Times but every so often she completely blows me away. Just when you think she can't top that here she has, again.

Brilliant article. Thanks for sharing.

cor blimey that piece is excoriating

Janice's writing is extraordinary, and she's also just so fucking right

She’s just so talented - fabulous article.

& I have Lamahaha to blame for my soggy face!

Agree with all the comments on here. And interestingly there are over 600 comments from men and womenunder that article - many just getting to grips with what's happening with 99% of them horrified.
This is finally not just a feminist issue - it's everyone's issue.

This is finally not just a feminist issue - it's everyone's issue.

Indeed. First they came for the feminists, but you were a fool if you thought they'd stop there.

Brilliant article

I'm going to subscribe to the Times now. They seem to be fearless and ahead of the curve on this issue, and have the absolute best writers.

Absolutely barnstorming. There was a really good piece about cancel culture in yesterday's Times too.

Janice is such a fantastic writer. The anger I've felt all week, she articulates it so well. Made me tearful seeing it all there in black and white. It's so bloody unfair! What a woman she is.

Wowee, that's dynamite; Janice Turner never fails to impress me.

Indeed. First they came for the feminists, but you were a fool if you thought they'd stop there

Yep. I've noticed them going after gay men more now too. We tried to warn them.

Most of the young whiney fuckers on twitter have no clue of the things the Baroness has done during her life. They came for her simply because she is a friend of JKR so must be taken down.

Yep. I've noticed them going after gay men more now too.

I'm actually glad about this. Once it starts impacting men there will begin to be more pushback.

I see the thin-skinned misogynistic shitweasle Damian Barr has locked his Twitter again. He's spent the last week traducing the reputation of a woman with decades of altruism & hard work to her name but he will not countenance a single challenge to his cruel behaviour. I hope the women writers who cheered him on read Janice's words & feel a tiny flutter of shame at what they have enabled.

It's why I ditched my Guardian subscription and switched to the Times. Never once regretted it.

Im so glad there's a brilliant female writer who seems uncancellable - joined now by JKR.

Brilliant article as always

I notice the historian Tom Holland has come off the fence and tweeted Janice's article with the comment:

"Why would people gun for Baroness Nicholson but not Lord Willetts (who so far as I am aware has never done a thing for the Yazidis?) Why J K Rowling, a woman of astonishing achievement & generosity, but not Tyson Fury?"

Why indeed. Why indeed.

Has anyone got a new share token? Would like to read

Here you go

the hypocrisy and gall of Lord Willetts in signing that letter, when his voting record suggests he must share her views, is staggering. Did he believe that in disavowing a fellow Tory peer, he might himself be spared the firing squad? The mob still might come for him

I did not know this...what an utter tosspot

Thanks Errol

What an antidote to yesterday’s shit storm.

First they came for the feminists, but you were a fool if you thought they'd stop there

thats certainly pithy but its not got the same ring to it...
