    Those fucking books. Those terrible films. People in their thirties talking about Muggles. It was bad enough when she was just JK Unionist, she's full-on evil now.

        Dumbledore's gay? Next you'll be telling us Doris Day isn't a virgin

        I'm puzzled why the guy in his 40s who mentions Mibees in almost every post is so agitated? You're hardly a target market for either kids' books, Tory politics or whatever JKR and Emma Watson have fallen out about

          I've had a simmering dislike for her since her Better Together and shilling for SLab days. It's a good rule of thumb that transphobes are scumbags who deserve nothing but contempt as well.

                My kids have wanted me to read the books to them at bedtime. Some bad writing in there, and we've gotten to the part where we find out that the elves work in Hogwarts as unpaid servants, all who speak in minstrelsy language. Rough stuff.

                    ?

                    I thought it was the BBC wot had honoured her by comparing her rhetoric to Enoch Powell, not something she'd said?

                          I thought that was the source of the accusations of anti-Semitism against her?

                              I've written on here before about how many of her villains are "fat and ugly". Her comedy characters tend to be fat too.

                              Her first three HP books are alright. Then she got popular and her books tripled in length and halved in quality. I read the fifth one and it was tedious with so many tangents and unnecessary scenes that I decided not to bother with the rest.
