@HMRCcustomers 3. You could try some of that 'charity' you mentioned & phone the helpline on my behalf. I already sent you my details by DM. Otherwise what is this account good for - all you do is parrot the website and haven't been the least bit helpful!

@HMRCcustomers I registered for self-assessment on 2nd March 2026 and am still waiting for my UTR. Online message says that I should have received it by 13th April. Please DM me as I need your assistance, as I am speech-impaired and too disabled for the web chat.

[Isobella Button @IsobellaButton]

@HMRCcustomers 2. You are LEGALLY REQUIRED to make a 'REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT' under the Equality Act 2010, yet so far you have refused to do so. Why?! Every word I am forced to type out just to get this resolved is painstaking, and I shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get my UTR!

[Isobella Button @IsobellaButton]

@HMRCcustomers 1. Tax is a private matter. Did it not occur to you that I do not want my family involved in this?! As for the CA, they suffer from the same failure HMRC does i.e. Phone and web-chat only; no email address provided, so accessibility for the likes of me is non-existent.

[Isobella Button @IsobellaButton]

@HMRCcustomers 3. I will submit my email address to you via DM. Please forward this to the 'extra support' team for follow up, otherwise I'm at a complete loss. If you decline, please can you give an explanation why & how this complies with accessibility obligations under the Equality Act 2010?

[Isobella Button @IsobellaButton]

@HMRCcustomers 2. I'm registered with HMRC Digital to receive online communications: I'm simply asking to provide my email address so HMRC can contact me asynchronously. This is a reasonable accommodation under accessibility law.

[Isobella Button @IsobellaButton]

@HMRCcustomers As I've already said, Najmin, I'm speech-impaired (can't use the phone). Please don't suggest using the Relay service as they're useless and no good for my needs. Will you please simply DM so that I can give you my details & you can help me?

[Kyle Chassé 🐸 @Kylechasse]

It feels like the hardest cycle we've lived through.

The kind that tests patience, conviction, and sleep.

How are you feeling??

[Atul Khekade @atulkhekade]

1. Form a rescue fund for affected users to make the community whole

2. Get all data from Globiance on affected users.

3. The rescue fund should at later date be recovered from Globiance.

4. Make the community and working group such a strong force that no one else can take XDC community for a ride like this.

[Atul Khekade @atulkhekade]

Enough is enough for everyones patience on globiance matter..

There should not be a blame game at each other.

Lets fix this and make XDC community stronger and powerful

I suggest all affected participants to form a working group with someone like @AndreCasterman @blocksec_xdc Belle?
Anyone else who wants to lead in the working group?

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.

I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.

Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.

However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.

When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.

The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.

Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?

I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.

The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.

Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

@blazedogbase Just so you know, you are done. I am making sure everyone knows what a big bunch of insufferable, greedy scammers you are. Pack it in for God's sake. You're exposed now.

[Isobella Button @IsobellaButton]

@blazedogbase Just more evil, bastard scammers, preying on people. The world is full of them. Thieves that should be left to rot in jail. Same goes to you @archxtypex

[Freedom @TallyAdventure]

@archxtypex Shame on you. I called you out as soon as you dropped this thing. And you deleted the comment. You are an evil person it’s people like you that really mess up this space. I feel sorry for the people in your group that you took advantage of.

[Isobella Button @IsobellaButton]

@EE OK, I've sent you a DM and just received an automated message about the ways to contact you. Hopefully you can sort this out for me soon.🤞🏻

[Isobella Button @IsobellaButton]

@EE I can’t send/receive texts/calls on my mobile, which I need for essential account verification & emergencies due to chronic illness/disability. I’m unable to call u directly due to speech-impairment. I received no prior warning. Please DM me urgently to reactivate my number!

[Isobella Button @IsobellaButton]

@EE Thank you, will send a DM.

[Isobella Button @IsobellaButton]

@EE I don't use Relay, they're absolutely rubbish for my needs, I've only ever had bad experiences with them. Why not DM me here, then you can pass my email address to the team and they can sort it out for me?

[Isobella Button @IsobellaButton]

@EE As I mentioned in my first message, I am speech-impaired & cannot call your team. The only other option your website gives is to write a letter, which is rather archaic these days. Can you please DM me so I can provide my details & your team can contact me via email instead?
