I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points. I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days. Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them. However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created. When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said. The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness. Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison? I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges. The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest. Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

He used words that the pro-stabbing politicians didn’t like

This debate is so satisfying. Helen Webberly is a “gender affirming doctor” that runs a clinic called gender GP where she grifts off mentally ill children, by allowing them to bypass their parents and receive hormone blockers within just a few months. Her practise has been banned in multiple jurisdictions and she has recently moved operations to the United States 🇺🇸 She gets absolutely tied in a pretzel from the jump here.

Yahya Sinwar had a brain tumor removed by Israeli doctors while in an Israeli prison. He repaid it by masterminding October 7. Israel literally saved the life of the man who'd murder its children — and the world still needs convincing about which side values life.

Very much enjoyed a day on twitter where various idiots slag off a well respected high court judge and tell me I don’t understand criminal law. Been a great lol ;)

“Palestine” is about Arab conquest over the Jews and trying to finish off Hitler’s work. Plain and simple.

Bernie Sanders and AOC haven't created a single millionaire. Elon just created 4,400 millionaires. Socialism vs. Capitalism

I always hear them talking about taxing Elon, but never Soros and Gates. I wonder why?

The reason there was shock and upset about the appropriately heavy sentencing for the Palestine Action thugs is because these ppl assumed they’d get away with it. About half the time they do. Hopefully that will change now.

Dear @ZackPolanski Is it true that if you become PM, activists will be able to smash up factories, attack people with sledgehammers and break the spines of police officers - and your government would consider them heroes rather than put them in jail? Asking for a friend.

And then the monkeys would starve because they’d realize there weren’t actually 1 trillion bananas, but only the promise of 1 trillion bananas that could be produced by a special banana tree that only the dead monkey knew how to grow.

The fear is caused by the complete lack of respect for British traditions and values

Waiting to board our flight in Washington and there are 3 Scotland fans in kilts walking past. An American lady says" I love your skirts" "They're nae skirts lassie they're kilts , We're Scots not Trannies" I genuinely Lol #tartanarmy #fifaworldcup @jk_rowling

Things you didn't learn in school. ▪️2 to 5 million Europeans were taken as slaves by the Ottomans. ▪️European Christian men were the first to abolish slavery. ▪️Communism has killed over 100 million people in 100 years.

Wow when did James O’Brien become the richest man in history?

Imagine what Polanski and Owen Jones would be saying if guy was a Reform voter.

The African immigrant on the left has founded seven companies, directly and indirectly created 800,000 good paying jobs, created thousands of new American millionaires, developed reusable orbital rockets and brain chips that are giving independence to paraplegics, saved free speech, and can’t stop talking about how much he loves America. The African immigrant on the right married her brother to commit immigration fraud, facilitated the theft of money intended to feed hungry kids, has used government to enrich herself, praises terrorists, and can’t stop talking about how much she hates America. Leftists want the African immigrant on the left punished with punitive taxes and deported, but will try to run over law enforcement and get shot in the face in support of the African immigrant on the right.

"Am I not a Man? And a Brother?" 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The most famous image of the fight against slavery was made in a Staffordshire pottery. Josiah Wedgwood was the most famous potter in England. Born in Burslem in 1730, he turned pottery into an industry: division of labour, costed processes, and a heat gauge for his kilns so good the Royal Society made him a Fellow in 1783. Then he used all of it for something that mattered. In 1787 he joined the new Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, and commissioned a small jasperware medallion: a kneeling African man in chains, hands raised, and 5 words around the rim. "Am I not a man and a brother?" He paid for them himself. He never sold one. He gave away thousands, and shipped a batch across the Atlantic to Benjamin Franklin. People wore them as brooches, hairpins, and snuff boxes. To wear it was to say, without a word, where you stood. It became the badge of the whole movement. Arguably the first political logo in history. And every ribbon, wristband and awareness pin since traces back to a potter in Staffordshire who decided to use his kiln for something more than dinner plates. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ He could have stuck to selling china to the rich. He chose to hand a movement its face instead. This is the revival of British culture. Be part of it. 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧
