You will be telling me the world is round next.

It is in fact an oblate ellipsoid.

DS and I did enjoy the Gangsta Granny film. But I am not flabbergasted by the news.

Am glad he has been dropped, he always struck me as arrogant and probably thought - like some other men in the public eye - that he was above being held accountable.

There was even quite a lot of unpleasant stuff about women within the books.

I had to read some of his books to my GCs and although some of the early ones were OK, they just became worse and worse. I even wonder if the first ones were ghost written.

He clearly sees himself as the natural heir to Roald Dahl but he has none of Roald Dahl's flair, originality or talent. His books even copy the format of the Dahl books.

As for being sleazy, he is a known sex pest.

I m not surprised he’s a wonderful author and kids love his books but he comes across as a really sleazy individual
He has been dropped because of inappropriate behaviour towards young females Not for the first time either he’s been involved in poor behaviour more than once
