Scariest part of today was witnessing @JuliaHB1 take clear, concise information about inclusive kids books - backed by TWO reports w/ statistics - and turn it into a hate-filled lie to a huge audience.
Then watch as it was shared and amplified into even more hate thrown at us.https://twitter.com/JuliaHB1/status/1118490375168118784 …

The lie comes in stating that the default isn’t white in the majority of kids books in other countries (it is) The entire reply is hateful ... why redirect a celebration of growing representation in inclusive U.K. kids books otherwise? Nothing made up. (But bizarre, sure)
-
Don’t you understand that such silly statements bred resentment... her response may have been incorrect.. (I would be surprised if books in Nigeria didn’t have black characters and if they didn’t that would be strange) but there was no hate in her response.

I just answered this same tweet from Julia. The one you’re replying to

-
Roll your eyes as much as you like... my point was you are saying she is lying and her tweet was hateful.. (that was in your response), I suggested that she may have been incorrect but there was nothing hateful in what she said

Knowingly misrepresenting the facts to fit an agenda is malicious. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen JHB ignore all context and factual evidence just to draw attention to herself and unite gullible people behind her. Honestly, it’s kind of parasitic.

@JuliaHB1 Too many tree huggers around these days with nothing else to do -
I assume they’re hugging trees? (Is that a profession?) I’m a book publisher.

I think you’d find it hateful to grow up as certain as certain that people who look like you don’t have adventures.

And why shouldn’t British Children of all varieties see themselves in stories?

You could have learned something today regarding publishing challenges, no rep in literature in even majority POC schools and lived experiences of our citizens but you chose to brush it off as 'just complaining' and even called people stupid with your platform. Its exhausting.

Someone seems to have too much time on hand to get fired up about this nonsense. Look for offense and you shall find...but is it really a duty ??
