JK Rowling launches a furious attack accusing politicians of 'snuggling up' to trans groups

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 13, 2024
The 58-year-old called for there to be an investigation into why political parties are embracing the opinions of 'privileged' pro-trans groups such as Stonewall and Mermaids. Her comments come just days after a review, written by leading paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass , found that teenagers in Britain have been allowed to change their gender based on 'remarkably weak evidence'. In her report Dr Cass warned that there was a 'lack of high-quality research' on the effects of giving children puberty blockers and hormones and said that the toxicity in the debate over the issue has become 'exceptional'. Tweeting her response to the report, Rowling said: 'In 2018, Stonewall literally told schools to shred a research pack saying there were risks to puberty blockers. We, in the strongest possible terms, denounce and condemn this publication. If it lands on your desk, do the right thing: shred it.'

ANDREW NEIL: In a world full of sophistry and double-speak, J.K. Rowling's plain-speaking makes her... My heroine for our times

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 13, 2024
The Harry Potter author has been in the vanguard of opposing the obsessions of transgender extremists, seeing them for the existential threat to hard-won women's rights that they are. This week's Cass Review on managing gender-related distress in the health service has entirely vindicated her warnings that the treatment of young folks confused about their gender is the medical scandal of our time. For good measure, Ms Rowling has said she will not forgive the self-entitled, virtue-signalling (now not-so-young) brats, who became global film stars only thanks to the Potter movies, for publicly dissing her over transgender issues when she was merely saying what all reasonable people now know to be the truth.

JAN MOIR: Why JK Rowling SHOULDN'T forgive the weaselly band-wagon jumpers she made famous

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 12, 2024
She won't accept any apology they - Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint - might be willing to make, now that the Cass Review has been published - which ­vindicates her views on what she calls 'the catastrophe of child transition'. The weaselly bandwagon jumpers didn't hesitate to kick Rowling to the kerb when she aired her beliefs - widely held by the British ­public - that sex is real and has lived consequences, not least that women's lives are fundamentally shaped by being female.

JK Rowling's magic circle of trust: Who backed author during bitter trans row and who dumped her - as Harry Potter creator says she won't forgive Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 11, 2024
The novelist, 58, who also writes crime novels under the male pen name Robert Galbraith, has assembled a squad of allies who fear additional legal rights for transgender people will infringe on the rights of women. Her years-long campaign for what she labels 'sex-based rights' has seen former Potter stars distance themselves from the multimillionaire writer - and directly express explicit support for transgender rights. The publication of the Cass Review, which concluded that gender services for children were not making decisions based on backed medical evidence, prompted her to say she was unlikely to forgive stars such as Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson for their views.

JK Rowling says she WON'T forgive Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson for their stance in the trans debate - and says they should apologise to 'traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women' not her

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 11, 2024
JK Rowling has said she won't forgive Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson after slamming celebrities who 'cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women's hard-won rights'. The multi-millionaire author hit out at stars who use their 'platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors' after the release of the long-awaited Cass report into gender treatment in the UK. The vocal women's rights campaigner said people who supported gender transitioning in children should apologise to 'traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces'. Rowling has been vocal in her opposition of allowing children to change their gender, while Radcliffe and Watson have been outspoken in their support of the trans community. It comes after a review, written by leading paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass, found that teenagers in Britain have been allowed to change their gender based on 'remarkably weak evidence'. In her report Dr Cass warned that there was a 'lack of high-quality research' on the effects of giving children puberty blockers and hormones and said that the toxicity in the debate over the issue has become 'exceptional'.

JK Rowling is a source of inspiration, a legend, and a hero, according to SARAH VINE. And though she's been let down by the Harry Potter cast members she helped make, the women of the United Kingdom are behind her

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 2, 2024
JK Rowling, a girl with a tumultuous mood, fought back in the face of this Orwellian nightmare, but put on the fight against God and vision, despite a small price on her own. She has spoken out where others haven't, and she has used her voice to embolden still more. We would not be able to have any kind of honest discussion about these topics without JK's column. She is, in every sense, a trailblazer. Her appearance was made even more admirable because she didn't have to do any of it. Insulated by her (well-earned) wealth and fame, she may have hopped straight into least resistance, lounging on some superyacht somewhere, secure in the knowledge that none of these topics were likely to have an effect on her or her family.

I've been running M25 cafe for 22 years, but roadworks are now putting me out of business: Emma Watson and Paul Weller's famous pit stop is facing closure after losing £135,000 on the motorway upgrade initiative

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 21, 2024
Since works to upgrade the motorway's away trade worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, a common pit stop off the M25 could come to a close. Stephen Bungay, 48, (left), has been an owner of Ockham Bites (inset), a Cobham, Surrey company, for nearly 22 years, but claims he has lost £135,000 in sales since work began to modernize that section of the highway 18 months ago. Last week, motorists were stuck in five-hour delays as a section closed for the first time. Mr Bungay says the roadworks make it impossible for people to visit his cafe, and that the hours of delay often mean people who do not come in are often using his bathrooms rather than buying anything. Balfour Beatty's construction site has caused more confusion due to the destruction of surrounding woodland and reduced parking availability.

According to the researchers, celebs planting trees to reduce the effects of their jet-setter lifestyles may not be as effective as they think

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 22, 2024
Large corporations also used the same tactic to highlight that they are combating the effects of their carbon footprint. However, trees are now appears that they aren't as effective at combating global warming as was expected. Though it has long been known that they absorb carbon dioxide as they grow, new studies shows that they also soak up heat because they are dark, which ultimately contributes to global warming. This could cut their effectiveness at preventing global warming by around a third, according to researchers from Sheffield, Leeds, and Cambridge. The report's lead author, Dr. James Weber, said, "the suggestion that you plant trees to offset your carbon emissions is widespread." Trees can help combat climate change, but we have to be cautious about relying on them.' Trees, according to the study, which was published in Science, are less visible than other land cover - they are darker than grassland - and produce tiny particles called aerosols that can act as greenhouse gases.

Award-winning authors who sued Oxford University for employing them on prestigious creative writing course with 'sham contracts' win their tribunal claim

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 22, 2024
Alice Jolly, 58, and Rebecca Abrams, 61, argued that the university treated them like 'gig economy employees,' and that they were kept on 'insecure' contracts for more than 15 years. Both students were taught on the Harry Potter course, and it was discovered in the tribunal that they had demonstarted "a degree of dedication and concern for students that all educators should aim for." However, respected academics were not classified as employees, and both argued that their 'personal services' contracts violated their fundamental workplace rights. The judge ruled that they should all be classified as employees after an employment tribunal hearing last month. According to the university, the decision is now being reconsidered.
