Did you hear the one about Julie Burchill??? [View all]




In December Julie Burchill accused me of worshipping a paedophile and called me an Islamist.

After legal action, she has apologised in full for these falsehoods, for playing into “Islamophobic tropes” and making “racist and misogynist” comments about my appearance and sex life.


Good on Ash for following through on this. That apology .....OUCH.... someone made the joke that the mot disturbing part of this episode was that she admitted Rod Liddle was her friend LOL

There is a more serious point though - what is it with TERFS and their plain nasty attacks on other Trans inclusionary feminists? Feminism is supposed to be about our sisterhood and supporting, sustaining and up lifting each other, not act like Burchill and all the others she encouraged to pile on.
