No, the post says that she can't be trusted around kids & nonces aren't the only ones you'd say that about. For example, I'd not support leaving my imaginary kids with a racist. Or any other kind of bigot, such as a TERF

I'm not arguing she couldn't win a defamation suit, because our defamation laws are loving insane.

I think most people when hearing "X can't be trusted around children" come to the same conclusion which is not "ah, X must be a racist"

in the context of a free book, though?

I guess I can only speak for myself, but not knowing anything about JK Rowling's personal beliefs or that she was a terf my initial reaction to that tweet was disbelief that she could be a nonce, although I did wonder what else it could mean before reading her reply. A phrase like "can't be trusted around children" just seems to carry a fairly specific implication to me

although I did read the comment before the bit about the free book

I think in pretty much all measures china has us beat. we have rapey detention centres, they have organ factories. We have a failed porn blocking bill, they have an effective government firewall. we have a union of disaffected devolved countries, they have a full on cultural genocide in Tibet. we have police causing outrage by doing things to people caught on camera / at inquest, in china those people would just be disappeared and anyone kicking up a fuss would join them. a lot of people here openly despise boris johnson, they banned winnie the pooh in china for this frankly weak meme:


nothing in this country even comes close

Think I've got Swimmer's Ear and I can't make an appointment at the local clinic so I have no idea how I'm meant to get some eardrops or whatever to deal with it

Can you message your GP (mine has online facility) and ask for a prescription for the spray? I've forgotten what it's called. Otoline or something like that.

the one I had is called otomize but if you can't get it in good time one of the main ingredients is acetic acid, I don't suggest pouring vinegar in your ear but I remember reading in the US people medicate with an OTC product called burrows solution (presumably if they don't want to pay for the dr). You can get something similar without a prescription here behind the counter like this.

Also there's like a 50% chance they can't tell the difference between Scottish and Irish.

from the comments ive seen on youtube videos ft scottish comedians, anything past the mildest of accents they can't even recognise as english

I've always wondered if gchq & co vet candidates for such materials before they're allowed a job interview so they have leverage down the line
