So @derbymuseums invites visitors to write down the name of their hero & add it to a display. My partner wrote 'JK Rowling'. It was immediately removed by a member of staff because 'She is transphobic' . @jk_rowling

Here's Stewart, proving the point by misunderstand the 75th percentile. It doesn't mean 75% of the US has an IQ of 110. It means that 75% have an IQ of 110 *or less*.

I’m so impressed by your IQ + Latin. And your ability to measure other’s IQ so instantly and confidently. But I hope your big genius is not making you patronising towards people with an IQ of 110 - since that is 75 % of the US population. And perhaps even 1 or 2 of your voters 😎

According to the member of staff, 'the museum' doesn't agree with my partner's view of Rowling so ... removed her contribution @derbymuseums @jk_rowling

Definitely. I think @derbymuseums might like to know their staff are casually defaming Rowling to members of the public

My partner had the conversation: I promised not to intervene because I'm less temperate. Staff member repeated TWAW, said JKR was a transphobe, that museum agreed, & that my partner would be a man if she declared herself to be a man. Obviously dim & mired in TRA nonsense.

You don't need a visa. It's a visa waiver. Just like the US. I was in Japan recently. Didn't need a visa or a visa waiver. It's entirely the EU's choice, not a necessary consequence of Brexit. You should stop misleading people.

Scotland had its own foreign policy stance? And I rather thought WW2 was immediately precipitated by Germany's invasion of Poland: and more generally, by the Nazi's intention to subjugate Europe?

Don't know the name - but it's an institutional problem anyhow. 2 books on gender for sale in the tiny museum shop, labels that talk about 'assigned' sex at birth. The rot goes deep.

Yeah, let's look at Hungary while an ex-Chancellor of Germany is on the board of directors of Gazprom, Merkel signed away Germany's strategic energy interests to Putin, and the UK were stopped from flying through German airspace to deliver aid to Ukraine. But hey, Hungary.

Actually, it wasn't built by slaves. Common misunderstanding.

Absurd exaggeration of her actual minimal contribution

No he didn't 'say' it. He shouted it many times over the train's tannoy system.

It didn't confuse anyone. It annoyed people that the police can't get the law right.
