One of them is telling porkies, and I’ve a pretty good idea which one it is.

I honestly think he and his family have been driven insane by the trans issue.

Did you see last year his wife - who goes by at least three different names now - say she might one day get challenged in a changing room for looking male because she has short hair (in April, following the SC ruling)? Then she deleted the post. Then a month later (in May) Jolyon said she'd just be challenged in a changing room for looking male. And then three months later she said was challenged in a changing room the previous month (in July) for looking male.

Absolutely none of it is true but they've gone mad with lying and IMO have lost touch with reality - in the way many trans activists seem to.

Or have the whole family always been mad?

Either way, how can any of them be in a position of power? Why does anyone listen to them?

ProudAmberTurtle · 20/04/2026 11:09

He's friends with James O'Brien and I feel that he's gone down a very similar pathway in the last 6 to 8 years or so. They both seem to have lied to themselves about who they are and what they believe that the result are two loons who relentlessly blurt out obviously untrue statements all the time

DabOfPistachio · 20/04/2026 11:22

I had JK like a tweet of mine once. Pretty sure that makes her practically family. It's certainly my only claim to fame 🤣
Back off, Jolyon. She's my best friend.

Datun · 20/04/2026 11:37

They are all desperate to attract her attention.

Don't get me wrong, I understand wanting to be noticed by celebs. But this is different. There's truly a desperation to it.

Or maybe, and this just occurred to me, some of these men simply cannot believe that their efforts go unrewarded.

India Willoughby went almost demented trying to attract her attention. And didn't Stephen Fry also claim a non existent close friendship?

Even one of the people responding in that Twitter clip says she doesn't appear to have any close friends.

I mean, honestly, what do they think?? 😆. The delusions just keep coming.

Err, excuse me - I live in the same city as her and have shopped in her local Waitrose. That makes us bestie shopping budz. Me and Jo are like this 🤞

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 20/04/2026 14:08

I've read almost all her books. That makes me effectively one of the family.

To follow on from that, a Lib Dem MP has been using the wife claiming to have been challenged by other women as an example of how single-sex spaces (as per SC ruling) will be completely unworkable. The tale was told again in last week's Westminster Hall debate.

Reminder the amazing Sarah Phillimore is currently pursuing the Fox basher for defamation. His defence is looking rather weak as it is based on dubious evidence from Sparkles, a delusional man in a dress.

So while seeing JKR putting the Fox killer in his place is great it is also a good time to do a bit of gardening and drop some seeds into Sarah's case and remind others to do the same. It maybe we can show Jolyon that saying crazy defamatory stuff about people you don't know has consequences.

To claim friendship with someone you've never met is exceedingly strange, but as we all know, there are men who think they're in with a shot if they receive a smile from the teenaged girl on the cash register.

Yes I heard that story repeated more than once last week in Westminster Hall.

A little video which is worth watching in it's entirety but see if you can spot a man at about 57 seconds in

Grin applying her testosterone!
Plus her mum holding up a supportive sign, what a grand day out for the Maugham family.
(And is that the extremely kind Clara Vulliamy I spy too?)

JK has replied to my tweets several time so I’m going to turn up at her place for Christmas dinner.

And being the Goddess she is, I'm sure she'd dole you out a plateful with all the trimmings. I don't give Jolyon much of a chance on Boxing Day, though..

Oh, Julie makes a lovely bride 👰‍♀ 😢 Now look! I promised myself I wouldn't but I always cry at weddings.

SirChenjins · 20/04/2026 17:55

I love this self identification wheeze - you can literally claim to be anything, and just like that - it becomes true!

testmatchspecial · 20/04/2026 17:56

Jo knew it wouldn’t last, you can see from the picture. She could see both Julie and James had had their heads turned, looking to be by the same person. Therefore it can be only have been Dame Katy, sat in the front row.

It was even worse than that - JoMo posted last May that his wife had been challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool by 'vigilantes' and implied that this was because she had had a double mastectomy, the previous year. He implied that it had happened when it did as a result of the Supreme Court ruling in April.

I'm JK Rowling's BFF (& so's my wife).

(Well her office did email me a couple of times after I emailed support back in the day. That totally counts).

PersonIrresponsible · 20/04/2026 18:58

I would offer to amputate a limb if JKR sued The Fox Basher for saying she hangs around with facists.

Hell, I'd even pay good money into a crowd funder for her legal team.
