I’d also like to point you to this exceptional opening paragraph by Gareth Roberts, himself a victim of cancel culture. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it better explained.
“Most of us understand that ‘cancel culture’ is a polite way of talking about the intimidation and bullying of people with the ‘wrong’ opinions, by a small number of crazed online children and disturbed young adults. It is enabled by older people who have mistaken a certain section of the miseducated middle class for public opinion.”
Perfect.
Wow. How incredibly ungrateful and spineless. I'm so sorry, Graham. But I'd bet my house on Norton being amongst the toads who'll be queuing up to kiss your arse when all this is over. (And I feel inclined to mention that the only time he's ever made me laugh was in Father Ted.)
Graham, I am so moved by your work in this field. The sacrifices you have made to help thousands and thousands of children and to protect women’s rights. Also to protect our basic liberal values.
You’ve used your position to serve the less fortunate and at such a great personal cost. We won’t ever forget what you’ve done for us.
Sorry if this is a bit much, i just want to express my genuine thanks.
