To think Paris Brown should be sacked at once!

[seeminglyso]

What lessons otherwise are we sending to teenagers!

She talks as though she's about 12
She looks like a scarecrow
She comes across like a silly little girl
She can't even spell
She has a low level of intelligence
She's a fool
She's immature
She has no idea of what she's supposed to be doing
She totally lacks credibility

She needs sacking

I have an 8 year old boy who has more about him than this poor excuse for an individual.

kim147 I felt a bit bad when I watched her apology video in the BBC article... but my heartstrings are easily plucked

Growsomecress: Thank You!

They let her off lightly with a young journalist who did not grill her. Just wait for the big boys, she cried afterwards but really she got off lightly. She is embarassed I don't think she actually gives a fuck. If you call people fags and niggers it is not done lightly, it is deliberately and obviously offensive. She needs to go.

YANBU - I don't care what age is she is/was the casual homophobia in her tweets are disgusting. Her argument that young people don't think that the word 'Faggot' is anti- gay is insulting to other teenagers. She's used racist and homophobic language ( personally I don't give a stuff about her claims about sex or personal drug use) and should get the boot. For me this isn't about the lessons to be learnt about social media usage - she's dumb as a box of rocks on that front obviously - but about the kind I person it has revealed her to be.

She's not sorry that she posted such vile comments, just that she got found out about them.
Not a nice person obviously - for her to excuse her posts because she was only 14 when she wrote them, my son is 13 and there is no way on earth he would think like that, never mind on a public site.
She really has to go.

She absolutely should be sacked immediately.

I have two teenaged boys (18&16), neither were racist, homophobic bigots at 12, or 14. Had they have tweeted anything even close to what she had tweeted I would have made them delete it immediately and come down on them like a tonne of bricks.

There are a lot of intelligent, hard working, well behaved teenagers out there who would be brilliant at the job if it were necessary, but I don't think it is necessary TBH.

She is just going to reinforce a lot of people's beliefs that this is what teenagers are like. She has done the people she is representing no favours at all.

Lunatic I did actually think the person sitting next to her was her mum at first!

Wasn't Prince Harry smoking dope as a teenager to say nothing of dressing up as a Nazi and making racist remarks towards a fellow soldier. If we can forgive him with all his advantages, can't we give a young girl a bit of leeway?

She's a silly immature little idiot at best. And has no business to be in this job. Employing somebody like this is absolutely going to do the police no good whatsoever. It's a mad idea that has gone badly wrong already. The whole idea should be abandoned as a mistake.

I dont 'forgive' Harry..a good reason if ever there was one for a republic!

Anne Barnes should be sacked for appointing this moron and standing by her hateful outbursts.

seeminglyso it seems so unfair to have one rule for him and another for a media unsavvy girl from Sheerness.

I don't I have the same rule for both!

With all the people unemployed in this country, they could have picked a candidate who was much more suited to the role. Someone mature (in nature, I mean, not necessarily age), non-racist, non-homophobic, unbigoted, personable and educated.

Paris comes across as a silly little girl. No way is she the best candidate for this role.

I'm not assuming that at all. I just hate to see a young girl hung out to dry.

I couldn't believe her voice when I heard her on the radio last week, she sounds totally uneducated!

And now these tweets...

How on earth did she get the job?

Yes I asked the same thing feminine. I'm quite perplexed as to how she got the job in the first place. What? Your telling me she was the best candidate for the post? Hard to believe. Anne Barnes seems really taken with her, she luffs her and is mighty protective of her. Maybe like mr poppy in nativity (The film ) she might be related to mrs Barnes.

I agree with Bridgetbidet - better to have a teen who actually reflects the majority of teens (when not putting on their adult-facing personas), warts and all, than a high achiever who is exceptional and therefore not representative of most teenagers.

I think NOT being a bigoted homophobic racist is a requirement of the role actually, and a hell of a lot more relevant than whether someone went to comp or a grammar school. Quite frankly there are plenty of teenagers about who might be 'low achievers' academically but have common sense and decency

Frankly I find it really patronising that a few posters seem to think it had to be toss up between a high achieving teen who wouldn't be 'in touch' enough to represent teenagers, or a nasty piece of work who is 'down with the kids'. That's utter nonsense. I've absolutely no doubt you could walk into any state school in the UK and find someone better than her.

For Gods sake....Couldn't they just have appointed someone.....a bit more middle class....Nasty hair, horrid eyebrows,uneducated voice.....Good job the mumsnet massive doesn't stereotype....
