Rowling Makes a Stand

[JadeLeader]

Ok, so I know the educated classes hate us and our Dear Leader, but she's really not doing herself any favours here...

No indeed, that's par for the course.

darling beetle, ever the sceptic.

JKR just doesn't seem to realise she has been defeated and told off by men who know so much more about WW2 than her. She is still saying and doing things.

She even made me transfer the money for the Sainsbury's shopping, my half of the bucket AND the coleslaw.

I reckon she's just jealous because my yacht is bigger than hers. (And I get my cigars hand rolled by gerbils)

Well, she sold me her last yacht and to be honest, it's been a let down. It's not even the biggest one on the Manchester Ship Canal.

Your yacht is the one previously owned by J Stalin, yes? 😁

😂
This is why I love Mumsnet. Makes this whole nonsensical thread worthwhile.

You promised, when you sold it to me, you'd never mention that piece of information again .

@Tooobvious That's fine!
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look for it.
The Woman In Berlin ŵas an impulse purchase at the time, but it's a must-read. A haunting tale.

Potato or a proper waffle? I mean, I like the nostalgia of a potato waffle but you can't beat a proper Belgian affair with liquid chocolate that ends up all over your face.

There was someone who wrote a blog post about this. Something along the lines of "Call yourself what you please, dress as you please, date who'll have you, but stay out of women's spaces".

I'm paraphrasing but if you give me a moment I'm sure I'll remember who wrote that...

Or like watching a clown run across a minefield: funny and awful in almost equal measure...

I saw Goody Rowling fly over Ingersoll's barn. Send for Reverend Parris!

Anyway. We've had revisionism, accusations that we're all Nazis, reference to genocide, JKR bashing, deliberate misinformation and a left-field discussion about yacht ownership. I'm fairly sure that's HOUSE on tonight's bingo card?

Birds Eye potato waffles, they're waffly versatile

What in Rowling's TwiX post denies the Holocaust? She's criticising the quoted post's poor logic skills. The quoted post is akin to someone pointing out that Hitler was a vegetarian and asking why someone who doesn't eat meat is upholding Hitler's values.

Mix it up, potato waffle with chocolate sauce

Which is not what her TwiX post did.

!!! I love potatoes, I love chocolate... I might have to try this, damn you!

🤢

The goblins who run Gringott's are fantasy creatures in a book series in which magic exists. I am sick of authors being told what they can and can't have in the fantasy worlds they create.

It's also pretty anti-semitic to interprete anything to do with running a bank as a coded reference to Jews. It's as if the person writing that article saw "bank" and couldn't think of anything but "Jew". Jews work in all sorts of fields and most bankers are not Jewish. One of the people hiding with Ann Frank was a dentist.
