@jellybeansforbreakfast

What in god's name was that about?
Ive got FOMO 😩

It was a criticism of Burchill that was as offensively Burchillian as she herself might have posted.

jellybeansforbreakfast · 07/06/2021 18:13

That's true Grin

Faircastle · 07/06/2021 18:16
  1. I wouldn't back either of them.
  2. I think JB has disqualified herself; her Twitter account has gone.

#teamburchill. IK is horrible.

Ah ok

Thank you

@ShatnersBassoons

Disappointed people seem to like Julie Burchill. She's a nasty racist who doesn't deserve any support.
I don’t like her. I dislike Knight more.
dayswithaY · 07/06/2021 19:31

Burchill every time, I can't believe anyone would support India Knight.

baldafrique · 07/06/2021 19:35

Anyone who supports a paedophile is utter scum

@HermioneWeasley

What’s racist about that? It’s a poke at their endless, sanctimonious virtue signalling. Also fascinating that despite their very public criticism of his family (and I’m a republican, I think the royal family are ghastly), they endlessly trade off that connection and their titles. Why no recognition of Meghan’s family in the baby’s name - why very specifically royal names?
She called a baby "it". How dehumanising! The racist coward has fled twitter now thank fuck.

Burchill is a vile racist. It is sad to see that so many people support her. It speaks volumes.

You’re not reading the room, are you? Is living with a paedphile and sheltering him from justice any better?
C0nstance · 07/06/2021 20:29

Fair play to Burchill for saying what every body else is trying to figure out.

The thread is full of people who don’t support her
StealthPolarBear · 07/06/2021 20:38

Assuming this is why JB was saying she was about to be banned?

BringMeTea · 07/06/2021 20:42

Icky India's reach is powerful... please step-daddy make the nasty lady go away.

lljkk · 07/06/2021 20:50

JB makes a career out of being a person with opinions.
That isn't really appealing to me -- 3x so when I share few of her opinions.

I never figured out what Knight does, but she has never offended me as much as JB. Of the 2, I would rather be stuck in an elevator with IK.

baldafrique · 07/06/2021 20:52

I cant understand now India is still working having stuck by an actual convicted paedophile. It is staggering. She is utterly shameless.

C0nstance · 07/06/2021 20:57

I don't support her, I'm not on twitter, but seems like that one tweet posted here was on the nose.

Moonwatcher1234 · 07/06/2021 21:06

Wow cannot believe the burchill love. She is a vile individual. I say a plague on both their houses...I don’t have to pick a “team” from these terrible two. Read up on burchill and her antics as well...truly repulsive

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 07/06/2021 21:11

@lljkk you'd rather the company of a Pedophile supporter? Really?!

RickiTarr · 07/06/2021 21:23

I can’t bring myself to cheer for either of them.

Julie Burchill drifts ever rightwards.

India Knight has never been at all appealing but I’d secretly love to know what a psychoanalyst makes of her. So many stepdads. Then first husband gay, father of her (disabled) DD seemed a good pick but all went wrong, then a paedo.

Maybe her boundaries have melted or she’s exhausted and given up? Inexplicable, nevertheless.

So, no, can’t back either.

lljkk · 07/06/2021 21:26

yeah, really. I guess that's a good sign of how impossibly boorish JB appears to be. Maybe not. Maybe JB is perfectly decent on a 1-to-1 basis. A MNer once said how Katy Hopkins was very kind to her (the MNer). But yeah, trapped in a confined space with KH, JB or IK? IK wins. Easily. I don't have to like everything or anything about IK. I just have to decide which one isn't constantly trying to impress others with their obnoxious opinions.
