I donโ€™t think that any child reading #enidblyton latched on to the racist/xenophobic elements of her stories. These parts should be viewed in an historical context and perhaps a revision of some of her works or complete obliteration of others, is necessary.

However, cancelling Enid Blyton entirely would be such a mistake. She created magical worlds that readers fell into completely and without prejudice. Many of her school stories and adventure stories promoted tolerance, courage, gender equality and fair play.

Iโ€™ve read this book at least once a year for 35 years. The impact and implications of racial injustice get me every time. One of the greatest and yet simplest narratives on how we should treat each otherโ€ฆwhy cancel it? #tokillamockingbird spectator.co.uk/article/cancelโ€ฆ

I was just thinking, 'I really fancy dropping in on a random book group that might not even be in my city , of which I don't know the time or date, yet is maybe called something like JKR's Barmy Book Army.' You know how these random thoughts occur sometimes, mid-chapter.

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries

Very sad about Matthew Perry. His work to help fellow addicts should be highlighted and celebrated. I find it incredible that he had to suffer fools like Peter Hitchens in interviews like this one. May his memory forever be a blessing.

I hope every woman in Scotland who wishes to speak up for the reality and importance of biological sex will be reassured by this announcement, and I trust that all women - irrespective of profile or financial means - will be treated equally under the law. bbc.com/news/uk-scotlaโ€ฆ

It took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women with an army behind them to get this case heard by the Supreme Court and, in winning, theyโ€™ve protected the rights of women and girls across the UK.

Annotating as I read to review. Might auction my scribbled-on copy, proceeds to go to For Women Scotland. NB: nobody whoโ€™s offended by swearing should bid.
