‘Bible of the Left’ runs ‘huge rant’ calling JK Rowling Britain’s nastiest novelist

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says the “Bible of the Left” calling JK Rowling Britain’s nastiest novelist in a “huge rant” shows people are losing their ability to disagree without wanting them “treated like a leper”. The New Statesman ran an article on Monday titled ‘JK Rowling, Britain’s gloriously nasty novelist’ because of her views on transgender issues. “One of the worst things that has happened to us is that we are losing the ability to disagree with someone without now wanting them sacked or punched or abused or treated like a leper or even killed, ruined in some way. “JK Rowling: she has given huge pleasure to millions and millions of people with her Harry Potter books, where good children fight evil … but then she said, well actually, I think transgender women aren't the same as women born women, and women born women should now and then have their own spaces. “So now, the New Statesman, which is a magazine that was for years very serious, the Bible of the Left … has run a huge rant against her, calling her Britain's nastiest novelist, despite all her charity work, and also called her a liberal pariah and much more.”
