From the BBC... What journalists have made life hell? All of them appear to be on his side. He is as powerful as JKR or Farage to get a free press ride.

Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record.

Once again, we are way too relaxed about the fact that "shooting Irish people is good actually" is a mainstream political position on the neighbouring island.

There’s a deeper trick here. He calls respectful coverage of trans lives “bias,” then demands “balance” by platforming anti-trans voices (ignoring that BBC policy won’t allow trans voices without GC ones too!)
That’s the same old “I’ve been silenced because I can’t be transphobic on air” routine.

'The fort opposite the oakwood,
Once it was Bruidge’s, it was Cathal’s
It was Aed’s, it was Ailill’s,
It was Conaing’s, it was Cuiline’s
and it was Maeldúin’s
The fort remains after each in his turn
and the kings asleep in the ground'.

The wildest part is, this is how Rowling responded to Watson *trying to be nice to her*.
Nobody will ever be free from her contempt unless they, personally, choose to be the exact type of miserable that she, personally, chooses to be, and any kindness from those who don't is met with viciousness.

this is the most miserable woman alive. she’s alienated herself from everyone who ever loved, respected, or trusted her and sees any attempt at conciliation as an underhanded attack. she is in a mind jail of her own creation that will just grow more and more isolated as she marches to the grave
