Bar Corbyn that is.
She has literally gone on twitter and posted a search she claims as proof that Julie bindel doesn’t care about women in prison.
Julie fucking bindel. Who founded justice for women. Who I’ve been aware of for what, 30 years? Since I developed feminist awareness, as someone involved in fighting for the rights of women in the CJS.
I mean, I know ash was almost literally born yesterday, but I wasn’t that stupid at her age

It's quite a read.

I don't know that I'd want Julie to sue though. It would probably yield a grovelling apology, so there's that, but I think she's probably getting optimum publicity from how absolutely hilarious it is. Maybe it has the most impact when it stays as something funny?

Could someone link to the twitter thread please. I still can't find my around twitter.

CaptainMarvelDanvers · 20/10/2018 07:52

Nowadays, in the internet, people don’t care much for facts.

It’s disinformation. They send out so much false information so that it’s hard to distinguish fact from fiction, they don’t necessarily need you to believe what they are saying they just need to restrict access and divert interest from the facts.

I think it’s ensuring that most people stay apathetic to political issues. Politicals is already a minefield of bullshit but it’s just gotten worse.

Whatever her opinion is on any issue, I don’t know how Ash sleeps a night contributing to this tactic.

I hope Bindel sues. She probably won’t, but it is time people like Sarkar and Harrop were taught that telling lies about people has consequences.

GrabEmByThePatriarchy · 20/10/2018 07:49

Haha was just coming to start a thread about this! Burn! I mean honestly, what possessed her? Literally one google is all it'd have taken.

She was quite good with Piers Morgan though. It's important to see the sort of lazy thinking that assumes anti-Trump means pro-Obama challenged. Especially in a British context, where there's really quite a lot of room to be left of Obama and still be moderate. Piers is another one who ought to have spent a couple of minutes googling.

The Times did a portrait/interview with her a few months ago. Why does she get all this attention?

If it's not on Twitter it didn't happen? Ah, bless.

deepwatersolo · 20/10/2018 06:23

Talk about narcissism and false identity.

Loving some of the responses to this.

OlennasWimple · 20/10/2018 00:19

But if it's not on Twitter, did it even happen? I think not

ToeToToe · 20/10/2018 00:12

Ash is so, so young.

This reminds me of when my children were young, and told about something that happened before they were born.

They would be amazed that I'd had a whole life, a childhood, had done stuff before they existed.

Ash has never grown out of the egocentricity of small children Grin

donquixotedelamancha · 19/10/2018 23:47

Thank you for the laugh OP.

Ash is apparently: Senior Editor @novaramedia.
Also apparently: At Novara Media, most of us don’t get paid.

So it's heartening that capitalism isn't completely flawed.

In all seriousness, how do shouty, entitled babies who give their bio as Walks like a supermodel. Fucks like a champion. and have no intellectual contribution to make get the chance to teach a masters course and write for major newspapers?

When did people like this take over? I missed the memo.

stealthsquirrelnutkin · 19/10/2018 22:28

Hilarious.

Once I'd stopped laughing I too was inspired to donate to gofundme.com/justiceforwomencampaign

Yet another fine, women centric charity to add to the list of places my widow's mites will be welcome, now that all the political parties and most of the mainstream charities have announced their antipathy towards cunty people and obviously no longer want my direct debits or custom.

TwistedStitch · 19/10/2018 22:18

Yeah the twitter thread is great. Nice to see Julie getting so much acknowledgement even from some who say they disagree with her on trans issues. The picture of her with (I think) Emma Humphries made me well up a bit.

CallingDannyBoy · 19/10/2018 21:37

The twitter thread is hilarious love the comment ‘writes like a supermodel, fucks up like a champion’ plus Julie’s and Janice’s comments. Cheered me up on a Friday as the media coverage over the last couple of days has been a bit deflating.

LizzieSiddal · 19/10/2018 20:55

Was she on the Channel 4 trans “debate” with MB and Germaine Greer?

Cesca304 · 19/10/2018 20:50

I was just thinking that Cunning it would be nice if something good happened out of this ongoing trans nightmare.

CunningOperative · 19/10/2018 20:45

Well, on the bright side it reminded me that I wanted to donate to the Justice for Women crowdfunder for Emma-Jayne Magson.
All done now, thanks Ash Grin

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 19/10/2018 20:12

Her version of 'communism' makes me really wish there was an afterlife so she could wake up every night to find Marx and Engels at the foot of her bed demanding she explain herself.

This is just embarrassing. Imagine thinking twitter is the sole arbiter of someone's accomplishments.

What's worrying is I suspect a number of people do think that way now.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 19/10/2018 19:48

They are a prime example of what happens when you are so open minded that your brain falls out...

Another one of these young folk self-iding as a journalist...

BumbrainusMaximus · 19/10/2018 19:43

Trouble is, like Owen Jones, she gets lots of cookies for being so utterly shit. Research, effort, building a solid reputation- why bother when being a total fuckwit gets you on breakfast telly?
Whether a durable career is built on such foundations is of course another question. One can only assume these little twats plan to get rich enough to retire before 40. They should do into the city - except they’re too thick, I suppose

And that dickhead doctor had retweeted it and again, instead of acknowledging that it is inaccurate, has accused the people pointing out its inaccuracy of picking a ‘petty fight’. Does he know what ‘petty’ means? Apparently not any more than Ash knows what ‘research’ means.
