Lovely piece, thank you, and I look forward to listening to it.

Rowling, the gifted fantasy writer, is now herself the subject of a corrosive hate fantasy. Still, her novels show that she knows the importance of standing up for what’s right, no matter the cost, and so she does not repent.

I love her. Thank you, JK Rowling. We wouldn't be where we are without you, and the cost to you in terms of backlash has been a horrifying proof of how sorely needed your voice was, and is.

Just listened to this and realise that I have never actually heard her speak before!
