@AlexBaxterScot1 It's about more access to books by children. JKR is possibly the most successful children's author of the last 20 years. You make it about trans. If someone published a pudding recipe you would make it about trans.
@RReanimator@_celia_bedelia_ Because alarming number of children dont have access to books or are read to by parents. Those children who are read to are shown to have a better start in life. That's why. Perhaps you should read more.
@bmay That just sums up the problem. Never been there? How London centric can you get? I have been to most of the major cities and towns in England and some in Scotland and Wales. Out of sight out of mind.
๐ With a shared passion for books and a deep commitment to children reading for pleasure, The Queen and author J.K. Rowling have met at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
Her Majesty and Ms Rowling discussed the importance of ensuring that young people have access to books and the vital part reading plays in opening doors for future generations.
@Heccles94 What on earth is real socialism? The electorate didnt vote for it. That is the problem for people who claim to be socialist. The electorate keeps getting wrong.
@reallyoptimized You are absolutely right. We don't understand that you don't care that 26m people haven't access to healthcare and 50% of people with it struggle and live in fear of becoming seriously ill. Or that you dont care about global warming. Your selfishness is off the scale.
