@Pagwatch

It’s just a dead eyed precision hit.

I don’t think women should be judged by their partners deeds but she’s just glossed over his noncery like it was a parking fine

This. Stiletto precision. Grin

@bookworm14

Burchill is awful, but she’s right on this.
agree
nauticant · 07/06/2021 12:47

Julie Burchill's latest tweet is even more polarising.

nauticant · 07/06/2021 12:49

I meant latest controversial tweet, from yesterday.

SpindleWhorl · 07/06/2021 12:49

Yowser.

AlfonsoTheMango · 07/06/2021 12:53

Burchill. She scored a direct hit with that comment.

Wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 07/06/2021 12:56

Her tweet isn't wrong.

CoolCatTaco · 07/06/2021 13:03

They are both vile. Burchill is right about Knight but I disagree with her on just about everything else. Pair of cunts.

longwayoff · 07/06/2021 13:04

Burchill is a dark and midnight hag. She's right about IK although there's not a lot of room to share - 'who's the best behaved?' - between them.

Blossomtoes · 07/06/2021 13:06

Burchill all the way. Knight not only lives with a paedophile but actively made strenuous efforts to get his sentence minimised. I have zero respect.

ChicChaos · 07/06/2021 13:07

I don't like either of them, but anyone that holds IK to account probably gets the win for me. Has her horde of supporters gathered round to threaten JB yet (I'd like to see them try!)

Redsquareoctopus · 07/06/2021 13:09

Burchill is cutting and awful and doesn’t give a flying fuck. I love her for it. She despises those who act virtuous yet behave like utter bastards eg MM, IK, JJ.

TatoAndBeans · 07/06/2021 13:12

Who are MM and JJ?

Chicchicchicchiclana · 07/06/2021 13:12

I don't love Julie Burchill but I honestly can't get over the fact that IK still has a column at the Times and, presumably???, friends and acquaintances standing by her too.

longwayoff · 07/06/2021 13:19

IK has a horde of supporters? Surely not. She certainly has no shame.

Blossomtoes · 07/06/2021 13:25

Yes, she’s got a whole gang of them.
LadyMonet · 07/06/2021 13:25

Chicchic India Knight's stepfather is a director of News Corporation, who own the Times. She's invincible.

Thelnebriati · 07/06/2021 13:35

What Chicchicchicchiclana said.

'If your friend's a nonce, you're no friend of mine' to misquote the old saying.

SticksAndStoned · 07/06/2021 13:42

No idea who India Knight is... Suspect I'm not missing much.

(And before anyone says it, yes, I know what Google is and how to use it. I didn't ask for anyone to tell me)

ShatnersBassoons · 07/06/2021 14:07

Disappointed people seem to like Julie Burchill. She's a nasty racist who doesn't deserve any support.

HannaHat · 07/06/2021 14:10

She's a nasty racist who doesn't deserve any support.

I was going through her twitter page before, I wasn’t really aware of her before this thread.
I haven’t come away as a fan, that’s for sure.

flashbac · 07/06/2021 14:14

Nothing impressive about cheering on someone like JB FFS

Thelnebriati · 07/06/2021 14:15

Who seems to like JB? Are we reading different threads? Lots of people on this thread have said they don't like Julie Burchill.

teawamutu · 07/06/2021 14:20

I don't like her. I don't have to like her to think she made a good point, perfectly.

TheGonnagle · 07/06/2021 14:22

Fucking hell, I’ve just read the conviction/sentence for that disgusting piece of shit. How the fuck could you stay with someone like that?
