JK Rowling Acknowledges Debt to Beckham at Anti-Hack Enquiry

The anti-hacking, anti-hack Leveson enquiry continues to shock us with details of what members of the journalistic industry get up to in order to sell advertising space in their organs.

Yesterday was the turn of authoress JK Rowling, who catalogued the various punishments that have been inflicted on her in return for saddling us with quidditch and the sight of decent British character actors – plus John Cleese – hamming it up in heavy make-up, capes and pointy hats.

Horrified that members of the fourth estate would set up camp outside her various estates to take photographs of her and her family, Rowling compared the experience with typical understatement to "being a hostage", which "had a massive effect on the children". (Hers, I believe - she remained silent about the effect of reading her books on other children.)

Good to know that one of Britain's premier authoresses is building a lexicon based on the wit and wisdom of one of Britain’s premier show-ponies, David Beckham.
