Scottish justice will not prosecute JK Rowling for her comments on the new law against incitement to transgender hatred. AFP/Dia Dipasupil
Scottish Police said through their spokesperson that the Harry Potter author’s comments “were not considered criminal and would not be the subject of any legal action.”
JK Rowling’s comments posted on . Via its spokesperson, the police institution declared that the position of the author ofHarry Potter “was not considered criminal”.
This decision by the police and therefore the Scottish justice system follows the defiant attitude of JK Rowling who had posted that if her comments “were considered an offense under the terms of the new law, she would look forward to being arrested on her return to Edinburgh (where she lives, Editor’s note) after my trip abroad ».
On social networks, JK Rowling explained how badly she feels about this new Scottish legal provision: “The legislation is a wide open door to abuse by activists who want to silence those of us who speak out about the dangers of removing women-only spaces”.
These comments obviously put into perspective this new Scottish law which criminalizes “incitement to hatred linked to age, disability, religion, sexual orientation and transgender identity”. Significant support, the novelist’s position was supported by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who declared that “people should not be criminalized for making common sense comments about biological sex”.

Scottish Prime Minister Humza Yousaf, in office since March 29, 2023, was keen to clarify the ambitions of the law promulgated on April 1: “It aims to protect people against the rising tide of hatred”. But concerning those, like JK Rowling who did not adhere to her principle by arguing, in particular, absolute respect for “freedom of speech”he added: “Unless the behavior is threatening or abusive and aims to stir up hatred, then you (speaking in barely veiled words to the novelist Editor’s note) have nothing to fear from the new charges thus created.”
Beyond JK Rowling’s opinion, the new law passed by the Scottish Parliament continues the standoff between London and Edinburgh. In 2022, Scotland enacted texts granting rights to the transgender community. But a previous legislative attempt to make sex change easier was blocked by the British government. The latter feared that this would weaken existing equality legislation.
Monika and Kryštof’s casual friendship with benefits ended and became just friendship, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t have some scandalous consequences that would make it difficult for Már to return to Karla. Let’s try to imagine what would happen if Monika were pregnant…
Until recently, Kryštof was convinced that there was no point in sticking to his relationship with Karla, and he dreamed of a future with Monika Farská. However, she made it clear to him that she did not plan a life together with him and that he should return to his wife and family as soon as possible. Subsequently, Karla and Kryštof became closer thanks to a broken gearbox, which reminded them of a long-ago romantic date in the middle of abandoned forests. They had a lovely Christmas, during which they indulged in another steamy scene, and now it looks like they’re entering the new year with a resolution to get back together. Under the pretext of lost keys, Kryštof sleeps with Karla, even right in the bedroom and in the double bed. Little Vojta and grandmother Věrka, who always hoped that there would be no divorce between them, are happy about this.

Now that things are finally starting to develop promisingly, Monika suddenly returns to the plot as a somewhat persistent friend who uses Kryštof for various purposes, e.g. to pick her up at the station or to help her with a work presentation. After all, she also helped him when he needed to prepare for an interview, so it was only fair that he repay her in kind. However, the question is whether occasional friendly meetings are really enough for Monica. Was her relationship with Kryštof really as casual as she claimed all along? Or will she realize that she feels something more for him? Will she return to Africa, as she had originally planned, or will she still mix up the cards with the Marečkovys?

Street: Things will improve between Kryštof and Karla at Christmas, but the beginning of 2024 will be uncertain
A family Christmas and an almost romantic trip in the mountains sound like great opportunities for Kryštof and Karla to reconcile. Back to everyday…
Fans Street they passionately debate all this on social networks and most agree that Monika should disappear from the series. “She has her projects in Africa and that will occupy her for some time. In the meantime, Mára will strengthen her relationship with her family,” the viewer wrote. Sure, it would be ideal, but the circumstances in Street rarely develop according to our imaginations.
The scriptwriters can really mess things up and the audience is already speculating what could happen next. “It could get even more complicated if Monika got pregnant,” an interesting point was made and another viewer added: “He’ll be cheating on Karla with Monica for a change.”
Let’s hope that infidelity will not happen, because it is already in Street she has destroyed more than enough relationships. However, another surprising pregnancy could, on the contrary, cause a real upheaval and revive the Marecký line a bit. On the other hand, we now have a topic with an unexpected child on the way with the Klím family, so it does not seem likely that the creators would try something similar in another family, although with Vítek and Ivy it is of course something a little different – pregnancy at a later age and not completely ideal conditions. But it would certainly be a mistake to think that there is nothing interesting about Monika anymore. Let us be surprised.

You don’t know anything about me by Julie Héraclès won the Prize for best first novel. The book returns to the Purge symbolized by a photo by Robert Capa showing a woman branded for having collaborated with the Germans.
«Writing about her has never been a way of clearing her customs, but, perhaps, of making her human“: a first novel imagines the life of the “Mown of Chartres», immortalized in a famous photo and branded for having collaborated with the Germans.
You don’t know anything about me (JC Lattès) by Julie Héraclès has stirred up critics and booksellers since its release at the end of August, and has already won the prize for best first novel of the literary season.
A sign of the enthusiasm it arouses, the rights for a cinema adaptation were purchased even before its release in bookstores. “It’s pretty incredible», Confided, delighted, this novelist, who began her career at 44 years old.
In the beginning, a photo that went around the world. The one taken by Robert Capa on August 16, 1944, in Chartres, which today has become a symbol of the Purge, a savage revenge perpetrated against those who had, during the Occupation, actually or allegedly collaborated with the occupying forces.

In the center of the photo, a woman, shorn and branded, her baby in her arms, booed by the crowd. Named the “Mown of Chartres», her name is Simone Touseau. It was with this photo – which Julie Héraclès sent with her manuscript and which now adorns the book – that her editor, Constance Trapenard, discovered this text. “Surprise», «astonishment“, and the impression of discovering “a unique voice» are the first feelings that crossed her, reveals Constance Trapenard. “I have known this photo forever. I studied her in high school, saw her in the city… she never left me», explains today Julie Héraclès, who grew up and lives in Chartres.
The idea of devoting a novel to her, however, did not immediately impose itself on the novelist, driven by “the desire to write a novel that would take place during the Occupation“. In 2019, while she put down her suitcases thousands of kilometers away, on Reunion Island, she had a “click, obvious». «By chance, I came across Capa’s photo. There, I tell myself that I have my first novel“, she remembers.

If she remembers that the first emotion that went through her when she discovered the photo, years before, was “compassion“, she knows that Simone Touseau, “was not just a victim» but a “pro-Nazi who had, among other things, worked for the occupier“. From the outset, the novelist is faced with a dilemma. How can we tell the story of a destiny that historians have not entirely managed to reconstruct? Through fiction and imagination, assures Julie Héraclès.
Written in the first person singular, in a popular language and anchored in France in the 1940s, the reader is transported into the psyche of Simone Touseau. Except that Julie Héraclès’ Simone has a different last name. The reason ? “For me, the most important thing was to try to understand how a young woman from this environment and this time was able to switch and become a collaborator. Having her speak in the first person achieves this goal.», she explains.
So, Julie Héraclès imagined almost everything: the feeling of being downgraded, the first romantic affair that goes wrong, an abortion… She also imagines a Jewish friend for him – while describing Simone Touseau as fundamentally anti-Semitic – or even an act of bravery where she helps a resistance fighter.
Even if it means making her sympathetic, as some critics write?
«Writing about her has never been a way of exonerating her, but, perhaps, of making her human, terribly human in her complexity.“, she argues. Before concluding: “Yes, I humanized her, she is neither just a victim, nor solely this culprit. I created areas of light and areas of shadow while having no thesis to defend».
