I don't disagree but have to wonder if something new happened to prompt this thought

sally rooney's books have been completely withdrawn from sale in the uk and she can't enter the country or recieve royalties because she would be prosecuted as a terrorist

Christ. I mean I'm not surprised given, uh, everything but yeah.

direct line from the treatment of ken loach in his later career to this absurd sally rooney situation. just make it completely untenable for this to be a public career. they're so mad that rooney is a) irish and b) internationally popular so she doesn't actually need the uk at all
