This is fucking disgraceful. Lecturing a man who has been leading a country through war - a nation torn apart by a brutal dictator, fighting for its homeland with blood. I’m not American, but I’m embarrassed on their behalf.

JK Rowling secretly donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to save 100 female lawyers and their families facing execution in Afghanistan. Rowling is a humanitarian, a defender of women and a national treasure. The campaign against her has been utterly unhinged.

The cost to the public of the Royal family is about £1.50 per year per person. For that, we get non-political ambassadors and trade facilitators, and a tradition that attracts millions of tourists. Worth every penny.
