I thought FWR might be interested in Davies’ book. Here’s an interesting interview she did in The Telegraph to discuss it:

Sharron Davies: ‘I lost the vast majority of work the moment I put my head above the parapet’”

I’ve pre-ordered a copy of the book - it’s the least I can do to support her after she’s joined the fight to protect women’s sport.

Odd exception : Glinner. He gets dog's abuse and can't work. Perhaps he's the token male target?

Glinner stuck his head above the parapet early. I think it's kind of like a lightning rod effect because for a long time he was the highest profile person speaking out, so he became a scapegoat for a lot of their hatred and paranoia.

I think Matt Walsh has also had a lot of abuse and death threats from them - he helped raise the profile of this issue in the US so he's had to endure some of the lightning rod effect too.

I would be interested to know if Elon Musk gets it too - that would support the lightning rod theory. But maybe they're afraid to send death threats to an erratic tech billionaire with Bond villain energy.

Another good review from the Times - I hope the share token works - along with lots of positive comments.

Thanks so much for the share token, that was a brilliant review of the book and a very succinct summary of Sharron’s excellent qualifications for fighting to protect women’s sport. I think her stage name in Gladiators was very apt, she is an Amazon 😊

Ha yeah @DarkDayforMN you wouldn't know what Musks response would be. Probably lives in a hollowed out volcano ....

I always buy and eventually read these important books. It is the least I can do to thank her for speaking out.

Agreed.

Howard from Take That has just been dropped from a Pride event in Nottingham for “liking social media posts that are derogatory towards the LGBTQIA+ community” despite issuing a grovelling apology. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/17/take-thats-howard-donald-apologises-for-liking-posts-derogatory-to-lgbtqia-community

I've not seen what it was he agreed with - you'd think that would be worth mentioning in an actual, you know, news report...

The regime relies on silence and its dissenters are punished brutally.

I read all of that article and agreed with every single word. Thank you Sharron 💐

According to twitter (I know..) he was reacting to discovering that there were allegedly a number of paedophiles / predators in the San Francisco gay men's choir that was singing at Disneyland :

Yes, interesting they don't even hint at what these terrifying tweets actually are - presumably something with scary biological facts in it...also the grovelling is a bit pathetic.

So hang on, the online story is about paedphiles infiltrating a choir aimed at children, and somehow the real crime is that talking about this or referencing it in any way is, ahem, 'derogatory to the LGBT++++ community'...

Unless there is some other big huge backstory here this is basically a hissy fit about nothing.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 17/06/2023 21:42

Sorry - shouldn't have derailed this thread - there's already one about Howard on here.
I've placed my advance order for Sharron's book and am looking forward to it
