She's entitled to hold views on things. It's her fame that has amplified them. She isn't alone in being concerned at how transgenderism is impacting upon biological women, or how vocal and virulent that community has become.

Whatever your opinion of her views on gender, Rowling's story is about so much more. For me, she'll forever be recalled with gratitude as someone who made reading amongst the younger generation really cool, at a time when they were switching away from books and onto screens. That's real success.

As that area is above the overflow and the waste, it’ll be so you can drain it should it fill with water (though it’s certainly a very big drain for such a small area)

Trump claims to have had the Fairford suspects "under investigation". Yet it was a vigilant person from the neighbouring village who alerted the police to suspicious activity. Nothing to do with the US having them "under view" and the US certainly didn't "get them". He's nuts. #Trump

And as for the stuff about what his angry, somewhat unbalanced sister said about her husband and his valet ..... As a historian, Spencer really should know not to repeat tittle-tattle of that nature. Talk about lobbing grenades - and how could HRH ever defend himself against that?

I wish they'd grasp the issue of listed buildings and make it easy to install solar. We face south, have plenty of roof, a big garden, etc. but are listed and in a Conservation Area.

But better to use a tumble dryer than dry clothes indoors if you're concerned about mould. And that's an issue for many homes. Try to limit the use of the dryer: Many families wash clothes far more than needed. Same with showers/baths.

The media is debating whether several hundred masked thugs, many of whom have criminal convictions for violence, swarming across streets is "intimidating". This is the same media who has spent decades telling us that three teenagers on a street corner is unacceptable anti-social behaviour. ffs.

When did society decide that violence against women (and don’t get me started on this “consensual” nonsense) was ever appropriate or acceptable? This isn’t just a matter of education but of morality - which has a place in every society, no matter how “liberal”.
