I feel like my rather dour view of J K Rowling developed during the first Scottish independence referendum and so I preceded the world's condemnation of her as a shitty person by about 6 years. The emergence of her awfulness was a deep jolt to her many adoring fans.
With this in mind, I'd just like to advise the rest of the world to prepare their burning hatred for Neil Oliver. Trust me. You're going to want to get a run up to this one. The man's a total dick.
@stuartblair Neil Oliver?! Oh no. Do I want to know?
@LiberalLibrarian Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I really enjoyed his Coast program. I've got the box sets.
Just another example of the modern era where we find ourselves having to reckon with separating the art from the artist. Seems to happen a lot these days.
@LiberalLibrarian If it's any consolation, Alice Roberts became an even nicer person after her work on Coast.
