Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[Oddball]

So let’s recap.

I asked for your opinion on a free speech issue, because it’s a topic of interest to you, and I wanted to explore your position.

You lose your mind, and sh*tpost a load of bilge.



Help is available man, don’t suffer in silence.

you didn`t. you asked about a scenario, a fiction i couldn`t take seriously. listen Amw, i`m not a political discussion type of animal. it seems everything now is politicised - if you`re Left and don`t hold this view that means your Right and are against it, which is rubbish. anyway, my mums just shouted me to put the light out and go to bed, so....

I mean, I’ll let others pull out the obvious contradictions here, but since your going to bed now;

“Hush, little baby, don't say a word, Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.”

Nothing to see here, move along.

Not one to defend the royal family but wasn’t the bin laden family legit and it was just him that went a bit off the rails.

Willing to be corrected on that. Also willing to say bin laden went off the rails is probably a bit of an understatement.

Think there’s some sound advice here.

Rightly or wrongly I suspect at least part of the problem is the PR thing. The family name carries a taint, so it's arguably not an amazing look. Easy one for bad headlines to be generated from, as we are seeing now.

That is assuming they are legit, I'll admit to not knowing too much about how 'clean' the rest of the Bin Laden family are.

Not that our Royals are whiter than white.

I've a feeling an advisor to the Bin Laden's is saying "don't donate any more to them or their charities. Have you seen who that family associate with and what they do? I didn't know pegging was a thing until last week, ffs".

Never heard of her, but has gritting off to a fine art.

I don't know a great deal about her, seen her on a few news sites and across Twitter. She does seem to have every challenge imaginable whenever I see things posted.

 

[Charro]

Never know who to believe on there but he always struck me as somebody who had the twitter game down to a tee.

Feel like they should probably log off twitter, go and live real life and sort their head out. It’s completely toxic that side of it. You help nobody in the end and it always ends up like this.

Femi will be next.

Jack Monroe is and always has been a massive fraud and a grifter. Probably has significant underlying mental health problems to the point where they actually believe the things they write, but has all the hallmarks of a compulsive liar and eternal victim. Taking Katie Hopkins to the cleaners about the only good thing they have done in recent years

I agree with a lot of the stuff Jack Monroe writes but they have, as someone above pointed out come up with a new issue in their life every 12 months for about a decade now. Theres only so much whiny victimhood I can take... and I speak as a man who has to help a disabled, African American, Lesbian with trauma issues move house this weekend.

A couple of months ago Jack did a post on twitter about doing something like 12 hours of media interviews and getting paid less than £100 in total. I thought that was a bit odd at the time. There does seem to be a weird pattern there.

They need a new agent, if that's the case. Or to learn the power of no.
