Seriously, what is wrong with this woman? A man in in intensive care! https://t.co/7o2MSx...
Oh dear @edbookfest , do you know your audience? https://t.co/ik3jHg...
RT @natashaloder: The death threats against JK Rowling need to be taken much more seriously given the terrible news about Salman Rushdie.
Solidarity to @OnjaliRauf who is one of the bravest people in this debate. https://t.co/ulziMV...
This is not the brilliant "own" that the visitor at Oxford (oh, my alma mater!) thinks it is. Women were NOT ALLOWED on stage. This was a bad thing. Small sentences and capitals seem needed... https://t.co/EPPGnY...
RT @soniasodha: The “death threats are terrible, but” crew really, really haven’t learned the right lessons from Salman Rushdie.
RT @glosswitch: I actually thought people would hold back *a bit* on "death threats against authors who offend *my* belief system are totally different, tho". But no. https://t.co/30B7ZO...
RT @DalgetySusan: Simply ridiculous. Sadowitz’s USP is shock. And it’s the Fringe FFS, not BBC 1 daytime. https://t.co/beTKFp...
RT @_Leyanelle_: So telling JK Rowling she is ‘next’ in relation to the attempt on Salman Rushdie’s life won’t get you a permanent suspension from Twitter, but saying a man playing football against girls, is a man, will. https://t.co/QSvZHq...
RT @Indy_Sinead: The right side of history… https://t.co/vbSeiB...
FFS! @NicolaSturgeon say something now! https://t.co/8lQPCs...
Great blog from Gordon Dangerfield on the importance and the implications of our win on GRBPA. #SaveOurSpaces #SexMatters #SaveOurServices #WomenWontWheesht https://t.co/4Vk4oA...
Another repellent take from the Right Side of History. https://t.co/qzG2Tc...
RT @LucyHunterB: Michael Crick is looking for evidence of political commitment to not stabbing authors. He’s not finding it in places he should. https://t.co/qqYAKs...
Quite. And extraordinary how many have used the same arguments ever since. Rushdie has never stopped standing up for free speech. Now is the time not to repeat these mistakes but to learn from his example. https://t.co/2FmgSm...
RT @glosswitch: Treating Joan of Arc as non-binary isn't exploring gender. It's an extension of the dull, patriarchal line that women don't have a history https://t.co/4ZP11q...
Why did Libby Brookes not ask Sturgeon what, exactly, women and transwomen have in common and if the structural and social roots of inequality are the same. If she really was a feminist, she'd be able to attempt an answer. https://t.co/fEsk4e...
RT @Baroness_Nichol: Yes,you are right @suzanne_moore https://t.co/P8u0g2...
RT @Baroness_Nichol: Praying hard …… as a former Booker person I recall all too well the massive security at the Prize Dinners with him on the shortlist - Douglas Hurd was utterly committed to freedom for writers @jk_rowling https://t.co/ViaBar...
The incredible Christopher Hitchens defending freedom of speech from violence and extremism. So much here that we should continue to fight for and do many lessons that, sadly, we failed to heed. https://t.co/6TtbVn...
Sadly pertinent. https://t.co/tThRls...
RT @euanmccolm: the wretched society of authors has managed to comment on salman rushdie. if only it had the decency to condemn death threats against writers such as gillian philip, julie bindel, rachel rooney, jo rowling, and many others.
