And yes, lest this be lost between the lines somehow, let me say one more thing plainly: when I talk about "such men and women," bedfellows of Liddle personally and ideologically, the most urgent and obvious singular name in my mind is Joanne K. Rowling, who is still to this day listed as a philanthropist on the union-busting website Wikipedia.org.

Aside from a specific detail here or there, everything I've said about Liddle applies to Rowling, but with the added ire that comes from her still being alive, politically active, and by grace of establishment nonces, politically effective. This is why I don't consider it adequate to merely stop funding new Harry Potter and the Bovine of Ever-Flowing Money enterprises, though that's the most immediately important thing someone can do if they haven't already. Her relevance to culture in the UK and abroad is a godforsaken patch of earth that must be razed, scorched, and salted.
