Rosie Kay: "What the years of cancellation and public cruelty have exposed is not only a set of political pathologies but something much older and uglier in human nature. They have torn back the curtain on truths many of us would rather not have seen, about men, about women, about leadership, about status and about how quickly admiration can turn into pleasure in another person’s fall. There are darker forces at work than the language of justice usually allows for. There is jealousy. There is envy. There is the desire to take another person’s place, funding, reputation, contacts and authority while dressing that desire up as moral necessity."
