He is a bigot facing consequences for attacking trans people. Love that this review says just that. A little concerned about the reference to praise from Richard Ayoade adorning the book's dustjacket. Hoping Richard has more sense than to stand by this hateful little man.

I read that earlier, it’s a belter and on the nose.

It is so refreshing to see his antics laid bare in an article like this

has a man who apparently understands women so well ever been more divorced?

Yeah, that's a great bit of writing. I'm delighted that Linehan's poisonous transphobic bullshit has been given such a measured and forensic takedown in the mainstream press. Last line is a mint kiss off.

'Jonathan Ross, whom he describes as “perhaps the only one of our friends who tried to help my wife and me keep our family together”'

Is that supposed to be a good thing? I mean, his wife left him, didn't she?
