In yet another case for why Twitter shouldn’t exist, a noted journalist, Julie has had her book on cancel culture cancelled after getting into a Twitter spat with a Muslim journalist and activist, Ash Sarkar.

This spat was over an article published years ago where the author was joking about not becoming a teacher because he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from shagging the students. Sarkar decided to stick her oar in and write a screed on Twitter about it, at which point Burchill spoke up and asked how old Aisha was when she “married” Muhammad. Now Burchill has been accused of Islamophobia despite the Koran happily declaring Aisha’s age, and Burchill’s book about cancel culture has been cancelled because the publisher is spineless.

What a world we live in.
