Julie Bindel on What the new book fantasising about the death of JK Rowling tells us about the sickening hypocrisy of publishers today

JK Rowling is someone who cares about people on the bottom rung of the ladder, whatever their creed or sexuality, and she uses her wealth, privilege and power to their benefit. Her reward?
