That pompous old bore Stephen Fry is at it again, saying of JK Rowling, “She’s been radicalised, I fear, and it may be she has been radicalised by Terfs.” In other words, she is saying that only biological women are real women, something 95% of the UK agrees with.

This is the same man who opined years back that women don’t really like sex because they tend not to go cruising for anonymous encounters on Hampstead Heath.

What he knows about women and sex could be written on the back of a postage stamp and the same is true of his asinine statements about JKR. How on earth did this man ever get the reputation for being intelligent?

All the world loves a lover – unless, that is, you are Amazon boss Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. The amount of bile those two have drawn in the run-up to their wedding in Venice this week is astonishing.

For a start there’s the cost: between $15million and $20million. Yes, it’s eye-watering, but it’s not as if they are going to be burning piles of $100 bills for entertainment, they’ll be spending it.

And the proceeds will be going towards hotels, restaurants, florists, chefs, fashion designers, wedding planners, chauffeurs, string quartets, airline pilots, waiting staff, hairdressers, make-up artists – you get the gist. I bet the locals are pretty pleased about it all. And it should cheer the rest of us up too. Lavish spectacles are often the cause of a great deal of fun.

As for Lauren herself, her crime appears to be that she is beautiful, clever, has a penchant for tight tops and has nabbed a billionaire. Enough already. There are considerably worse people on this earth.
