Sky News host James Macpherson says J.K Rowling and Ricky Gervais have proved that if you stand up to the woke, “eventually you win”.

Mr Macpherson said J.K Rowling's book sales went from $7 million to $11.9 million last year, “despite the fact she was attacked by trans activists”.

J.K Rowling has been outspoken on her views on the transgender movement, which led to her being labelled as ‘transphobic’.

“As for Ricky Gervais, well he’s just won best stand-up comedy series at the Golden Globes.”

Ricky Gervais is known for his anti-woke comedy, which often receives heavy criticism.
