JKR vs IW

[ZeldaFighter]

Are we going to talk about this? I think JKR was feeling a bit grumpy today 😀

I am a bit worried that "naice" people will think JKR is being horrid.

The Telegraph have published an article about it

Is that the airport dilator?

I wonder what Gareth The Escapee Date thinks of all this?

Please.

I’m about to have my tea.

RMW said:

"The communications act requires something that is grossly offensive so, you know, virtually any comparison of someone to a Nazi, um, would be across that line, for example"

IW does this all the time!

From the Scottish Daily Express:

Willoughby, said: "When the Queen dies, wouldn’t be surprised if Boris appoints himself Fuhrer and assumes total control. That’s how close I think Britain is to Nazi Germany."

After many users pointed out how insulting the statement was, she doubled down adding: "To all those saying “What a stupid Tweet - disrespectful”: What’s up? Are the trains running on time? Everything ok in your orbit?

And another said: "If you think this is how close we are to Nazi Germany, it shows you know nothing about what the Holocaust involved, and how damaging it is to devalue its memory with such cheap comparisons.

Willoughby continued to double down, leaving one person to plead: "Please, for the love of knowledge, read a book."

IW's tweet comparing Boris Johnson to Hitler

Wow - look at the comments under it - 2,300 at the moment and increasing every minute.
Havn't spotted one disagreeing with JKR but I only scanned a hundred or so.

Oh wow. Look at those comments. Not spotted one yet that supports IW, but loads of support for the amazing JKR.

Willoughby compared two gay commentators (Douglas Murray and Dave Reubens?) to Nazi collaborators in that Byline TV interview - ‘Vichy Gays’. And mentioned James Dreyfus in the same context.

I do hope that video bites Willoughby on the arse big time.

If writing ever loses its charm for her, she could start running trips up the Himalayas.

And another, from Campaign Against Antisemitism

The journalist India Willoughby has doubled down on inflammatory Nazi and Holocaust analogies.

Ms Willoughby tweeted earlier this month that “If Liz Truss replaces Boris [Johnson], it will be like Hitler coming to power. We’re f***.”

After receiving criticism for hyperbolically and needlessly invoking the Nazis, she doubled down, tweeting: “Excuse me? I think you’ll find the Nazis hated trans people. They burnt down the world’s leading trans research institute and made us wear pink triangles before being sent to the camps.” Ms Willoughby is transgender. She appears to have since deleted this tweet.

This is not the first time that the commentator and former BBC journalist has made inflammatory analogies to Nazi Germany. In 2020, she tweeted that she “[does not] like invoking the Nazis, but for trans people, this is like being Jewish in Germany at that time.”

Current policies in the UK are not remotely like those of Nazi Germany, which forcibly transferred minority communities to concentration camps and murdered six million Jewish men, women and children. It must be possible to have reasonable political debate in Britain without invoking the Nazis and, in the process, effectively diminishing the Holocaust.

Suspect that the exposure of Willoughby's regular emotionally incontinent comments about Nazis. kidnapping women, regular attacks on JKR and the rest will simply confirm what the general public are starting to learn about transactivists.
It won't go well.

If writing ever loses its charm for her, she could start running trips up the Himalayas.

Willoughby could even join her in that

I've not read the whole thread so sorry if I've missed it but do we know what IW's evidence is that Keira Bell is retransitioning? I'm assuming it's just made up but it does seem like quite a big untruth even for IW.

What has JK done to deserve that?

@Signalbox I found this, but it's hardly incontrovertible proof.

This is going to be a doozie

Underwhelmed.

Woman know your place. JKR know your place. Be kind and if you can’t be kind then STFU.

Actually you just have to look at KB's Twitter to see that this is bullshit. What an odd thing to lie about though.

😂😂😂

Tickled my funny bone, that did.

We had someone post last year that Keira had retransitioned. They were gleeful about it. I guess there will always be rumours.

It's quite a common lie with TRAs that detransitioners are in the process of retransitioning.

I've had several tell me that Ritchie Herron is retransitioning.

I'm not sure why they lie when it's easy enough to look at their Twitter timeline and see that it's a lie.

Half the comments on the petition already are mocking it, not sure that it's gone quite as well as the author hoped!

Bobby Baubles?

Rudy Garland?
