I may be wrong but I maintain that Rowling doesn't have the money to have exerted the kind of influence we have seen. The kind of influence needed to influence the whole media and the major political parties, and to neutralise Scotland, is nation state level, or religious leader level.
US far-R has been doing stuff behind the scenes for a long time. Bannon pulls strings with Blue Labour, certainly.
Oh the evangelicals were known to be working with the TERFs years ago
Any links or references to Bannon working with Labour or evangelicals with TERFs would be gratefully received. Thanks!
In 2020, when Liz Truss floated the idea of a bathroom ban during lockdown (the one time it would be even less believably necessary, as everyone was stuck at home), and the LGBTQ+ Advisory Panel disbanded, Jayne Ozanne stated that Truss and Badenoch were only listening to the "evangelicals".
And Streeting's an Evangelical, though how he squares that with being gay, I don't know…
Evangelical wing of the Church of England apparently.
Yes, some of which is pretty r-wing & homophobic. So how he squares it…?!
The ability to accept doublethink is a necessary requirement for Christianity.
Or any religion, but yes, it is one of the most absurd.
Just look up Lord Glasman, the man behind the whole 'Blue Labour' thing, who is associated with McSweeney. He's v upfront abt his links with Trump & Bannon.
