Terrible things people post on social media

She flew to Ireland a few weeks back, no quarantine or anything like that, for a hook-up with an Irish actor, then flew to London. People kind of just laughed it off at the time and said ‘you go, girl’ and it was mostly jokes about it on social media, which… fair enough, she’s popular and she’s not a Tory minister.

But then she posts that and tells the great unwashed to #stayinside ? That’s just one comment on the post there, but there’s loads. I dunno I can delete it if it doesn’t qualify

The idea that there’s any sort of criteria for this thread! :grinning:

I mean I think that’s a wider thing beyond the image. To me @still_he_persisted it’s just a really tone-deaf sort of comment:

“let’s all end this pandemic because I want to go back to my life which was, let me remind you, pretty cool”.

As if we are all here to make sure she has a good time. A lot of us are struggling with Covid and a lot of people have lost their jobs but they aren’t necessarily going to get them back when it lifts either, nor are they maybe going to go back to a much better life.

When he called her out (4th Tweet) she just said something like, “I’ll get that taken down, thanks”

That last bit of the sentence counts as a Shyamalan twist

She comes out with some absolute clunkers and can be incredibly patronising.

But… the central point here is… sort of… correct. I can work up little enthusiasm about Biden, but that way lies four more years of Trump.

Please don’t ban me.

Four years of Trump isn’t on ‘the left’. It’s on the useless liberal establishment. And it will be again if he wins another term.

It’s not whether the central point is correct or not, but whether it’s hypocritical given her stance over the past five years

Both good points in response to mine. Am desperate for anything but Trump.

it’ll be on both, unless the election is completely rigged, which is very possible

Weetman was tweeting some guff the other day about how the British left could never tolerate its own AOC. So weird how the sensibles forget that the left wing of the British Labour Party has already produced a talented, intelligent woman of colour and given her key roles at the top… wonder what it is about Diane Abbott that she slips their mind.

(This isn’t to mention many other other talented WoC currently working on the left of the party)

I remember the Speak Your Branes site had a great selection of categories, and this one would have slotted straight into Permanently Bewildered.

Time to break out the regular humble brag that Speak Your Branes was my friend’s site.
