Execrable piece on JKR in “The Independent” 13/10/24

It’s an opinion piece, which the author seems to have understood as meaning “actively avoid facts & research, just wang on”. His ramblings are focused on her tweet about Butlins turfing (?terfing) 5 male people out of the women’s loos (then apologising because said male people feel entitled to use facilities for those of the opposite sex); a situation FWR have been discussing here.

The “sad new low” is this absolute trash being published by a once-reputable publication. Idiot selfish man whining about how he liked ready “Harry Potter” when he was younger - & immediately demonstrating he’d not even understood Rowling’s children’s books, let alone these far more serious issues.

An alarming number of the comments are ascientific twaddle &/or regurgitations of the full gamut of unsubstantiated claims.., definite suggestion, too, of Shenanigans, with comments in odd mixtures of US & UK English (NB not Canadian English, which does of course blend the two, but a clunky mixing of terms as of copy-pasting) 🤨

I think it is almost exclusively populated by escapees from Twitter/X, whinging about Elon and JKR.

I'd like to know which books he would recommend. The ones I have read that might fit his criteria are full of unscientific nonsense and bias. I would happily recommend Hounded by Jenny Lindsay to him though, based on the Prologue and the first chapter. So far it is excellent.

So they went en masse to the ladies loos!? Why would they do that?
