Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

Was probably that dingdong JK Rowling or Mr Linehan. Absolutely terrfiying extremist crusaders.

Linehan seems very angry and bitter.

As for Rowling, I think it’s a bit erm…extreme to say she’s an extremist. She simply says what a lot of women feel. However, I do wish she would move on from it. Everyone knows how she feels about it. Focus on philanthropy and women’s rights. I feel her Twitter spats with people like India Willoughby are quite unbecoming. Especially given that she’s a writer, come back with more dignified responses. She’s old enough to know better in that respect.

How doesn’t that help reform?

FPTP helps Reform on the current polling. PR gives the option of an anti-reform coalition.

That is besides the fact that it is more representative of the electorate's opinion.

Rowling is obsessed so I see her as a raging hate inciter. But yeah broadly agree. Genuine concerns should be based on real evidence rather than anecdotes. And that's all she has. I've never met anyone oppressed by a male who feels like he is a female. And in reality it can't be anyone's business in a free world.

It just seems like its the only thing it Rowlings wheelhouse currently, she has nothing else, which comes over as really odd. I get the fight 100% and I agree with some of her views, but its getting abit OTT now. Just go lay on a beach somewhere

Tiny Tommy lying about seeing his kids because he was one the run from the courts on his followers dime, and claimed his kids were with him and that the papers put them at risk by revealing their hotel. So what was it? He saw his kids or didn't?

Seems that Sydney is trying to take Melbourne’s mantle as the Nazi capital of Australia… makes the Macabi Tel Aviv debacle in Birmingham seem like a storm in a teacup.

Police allowed Nazi rally outside NSW parliament

More than 60 people attended Saturday morning’s rally after notifying police more than a week ago. The police commissioner said he had no idea it was going to happen.

Nothing like feeling unsafe in a hotel. Roll eyes.
