Brilliant debate on GMB about #RIPJKRowling

[Destinysdaughter]

Just watched it, it featured Benjamin Butterworth, George Galloway and Rose of Dawn. BB got his arse handed to him by Piers and Rose was brilliant! Well worth a watch! It was on at 8.15 so you can watch it in an hours time if you're at home. Also Twitter reactions were v positive, with pp wanting to buy the book as a result!

Is it just me that though BB had a “duper’s delight” smirk when introduced as a “journalist”

No, he really does!

@NotBadConsidering

Look what I got today! Excited.

I'm ordering this afternoon. Looks like we might be heading into local lockdown so I need something to keep me entertained.

"Oh f* off. Real trans people are incredibly tough. Survivors. Have to be. Don’t need protecting from a book shelf. #JKRowling"

Wow. This is all starting to become very divisive, isn't it?

Lol

I am very amused at the wokesters stamping their feet and denying that cancel culture exists while they demand the end of careers and the burning of books.
And the comeback of folk like BB is to say 'there is no cancel culture because we can still hear you'. Like, mate, cancel culture is referring to your feverish attempts, not your success level.

But then India goes and says this. I don't think JKR did go round saying how dangerous trans people are now did she, India.

I like Rose of Dawn. Glad she was there to balance BB out. Good Scouser

Oh ffs. Thought that might have been a rare moment of clarity from her. Nvm.

This book is going to be a huge hit thanks to all of this publicity, and even better, the whole furore is shining a light on how ridiculous these woke activists really are. The tide is turning, well played JKR, well played.

It makes me laugh how the likes of Benjamin Butterworth crow about how 'cancel culture does not exist' whilst at the exact same time urging people not to buy JKR's book! 😂

Is this all just a massive coup for reverse psychology from JKR's publishers? Telling people not to read something is the sure fire way to get them to do it. Have we checked Benji's bank accounts to confirm he's not being paid on the sly?

I don't know, Molten. Some of my friends are despairing and disgusted, apparently, by JKR's 'transphobia'.

I would bet money that they've not read anythign she's actually written, they're just seeing it through a pink news lens.

My youngest lad (20s) said she was transphobic, I asked him how he knew. Apparently it was all over Twitter. I asked him if he had read what she said, “no, but..”. I asked him why he was quicker to believe a bunch of male bodied people online, rather than all the women defending another woman. He couldn’t answer, but you could see his brain twitching. 😁 He really is the sweetest young man, but that’s why he’s been completely taken in by all the screams of transphobia. He doesn’t understand why people are being so ‘cruel’.

I have got a female relative (I'm going to call her cis and hetero just to speak in the language she uses) who is 30 years old who deleted me off FB for sharing the meme comparing what JKR actually said about people who menstruate to the Twitter comments (choke on my lady dick etc) she received in reply.

Unbelievable but true.

🤣

India commented on piers original post ,that jk was transphobic and deliberately antagonising by having a trans killer , someone else added nick cohen review telling her she was wrong , she deleted her comments but went onto her own page to reiterate the lie without being called out on it , indias only interest is her

Bought hardback of said book from local one man band book shop 😁

Just watched the clip from GMTV - best laugh I've had in ages!

Absolute gold. And GG calling him Benjamin button
Really enjoyed hearing from rose of dawn, hope they get a lot more airtime going forward

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but Benjamin Butterworth went on Talk Radio today along with Bev Jackson of the LGB Alliance to discuss the recent BMA announcement.

He really is a berk.

Here it is in full:

This is my favourite bit: twitter.com/OkBiology/status/1306635799765676032 "I find that Bigotry!!"

Bev Jackson: calm and reasoned. Butterworth: ranty nonsense with added straw men.

Damn, no headphones and too late to listen without.
The GMB really was comedy gold. When Piers Morgan's book comes out, someone is going to have to find out exactly how BB features in it - I can't believe it's going to be flattering!
