It's quite remarkable that she wrote a series of books where the hero is standing up against authoritarian lies, telling the truth even when subjected to opprobium for it, fighting lies and corruption in the education system, speaking out on behalf of all the people who are too afraid to speak out for themselves... and now she's actually doing all that in actual life.

@Kantastic that's a brilliant way of putting it. And in case you didn't know, it was quoted on Twitter at the weekend. You absolutely sum it up there.

Jo is our Harry Potter! (Or is she Hermione?)

JKR is doing a great job and is very brave to be pushing on with this. I'm so glad she is.
Slightly, but not completely, off-topic is that the Marcus Evans paper seems to have at least one error or typo in it which I haven't seen mentioned anywhere. Am I reading it incorrectly? On page 2, the second paragraph, titled "Children with complex problems." "The parents wrote to The Guardian, which reported on 3 November 2018 that children were 'fast-tracking' young people into life altering decisions without fully assessing their personal histories."

Does anyone else consider that this is a mistake? If it is, then its a great shame in such an important paper.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the meaning of that sentence.
