Russell T Davies Keeps Knife by Door After 1 Person Came to His Home

Russell T Davies said he now keeps a kitchen knife by his front door after someone tracked down his address and turned up at his home.
Years of online abuse accusing the 63-year-old writer of being a "paedophile" and "groomer" over his support for trans rights have, he said, turned digital smears into a real-world safety threat.
Davies blamed figures including Graham Linehan and the wider social-media ecosystem, saying algorithms now monetize hatred and make people act on false claims.
The comments come as Davies promotes his memoir, The Queerest of Folk, while arguing that LGBTQ+ rights remain fragile and that debate over gender issues has become dangerously polarized.
