Interesting that it’s the sports stars like Chris Hoy who understand the concept of fairness. They realise that readers (and the actual authors) are being cheated if a celebrity pretends to have written a book penned by somebody else. societyofauthors.org/2024/12/09/c...

Saying that I'm against the killing of thousands of civilians in Gaza, the majority women & children, doesn't make me 'pro-Palestinian' and it doesn't make me 'antisemitic'. It makes me a humanitarian against the actions of the Israeli Government and army. STOP THE KILLING.
