I think the problem with it being Julie Burchill who speaks up is that she is very easy for all of India & Eric’s supporters to ignore.
Of course the liberal luvvies can happily ignore someone who holds some really abhorrent views and has repeatedly gotten themselves into trouble for them.
I just feel like someone more sensible and less controversial is harder to ignore, harder to write off.
I don’t subscribe to the “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” philosophy, and therefore while I thought Julie Burchill’s tweets to India were excellent, I don’t support her because of them. Indeed, when she went after the vile Ash Sarkar, it was Ash whose side I was on, despite Julie being gender critical and Ash being a total knob.
