No they shouldn't be withdrawn. They are however awful books. Billionaire Boy in particular is deeply unpleasant.

It's ridiculous.

Has David Walliams actually been formally accused let alone convicted of anything? I don't like him and won't be surprised if stuff does come out but I think whether or not people buy and/or read his books should be an individual choice. I'll not bother. I haven't read Mein Kampf either. I'd say keep the roof Mollygo, they're quite useful, and especially so as winter is knocking at the door 😉😁

I think it’s absurd to withdraw his books.

If we withdrew all the books written and music composed by people who had behaved in unacceptable ways, we would miss a great deal of good stuff!

Shops and schools and some parents are already withdrawing them.

Hitler’s Mein Kampf is still an available.

What do you think?

Incidentally, the man who did our flat roofing is in prison for rape and GBH.
Should I have it removed?
