It doesn't tell you why she left though?

Orlantina · 26/05/2017 11:02

It doesn't tell you why she left though

She tweeted this week about 'needing a final solution'. She then deleted it.

I think there's something wrong with the woman.

Earlier this week I was thinking about the "final solution" tweet, and wondering if there was any possibility she didn't know what it meant. And after some reflection, I concluded, no, there wasn't. Everyone of that age has heard the term "final solution". So she must have done it deliberately.

And assuming she doesn't actually want to herd all Muslims into gas chambers and kill them, I can only guess that she must have done it for purely attention-seeking reasons. That here was an event - the Manchester bomb - that wasn't about her, and here was a chance to make it about her. Because she cannot bear to go more than five minutes without being the centre of attention. That suggests someone who isn't, to put it kindly, quite right in the head.

She may have been sacked, but. She's not going to end up on the dole is she

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 26/05/2017 12:40

No she wont end up on the dole, but that's no reason not to sake her for being a cunt. Hopefully the DM will do the same, but that wont happen because they are cunts too.

The news she has been sacked has been the only good thing to happen this week.

Duckiesprettycrazy · 26/05/2017 12:55

My mind is boggling at the last paragraph in this article - I had to double check it was from BBC and not DM.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 26/05/2017 12:55

A bit of good news in an otherwise dark week.

Orlantina · 26/05/2017 12:58

I wonder how the Daily Mail will report this.
It's news.
Maybe they'll just ignore it and pretend it didn't happen

I am on the other hand always quite wary of dancing on the coals of another 's demise.... good old superstition that the gods of fortune and misfortune might hear me.

Wondering if J'o B will now fill this slot for us with his excellent smoke and mirror monologues.

TuppenceForYou · 26/05/2017 13:40

Calling someone you disagree with vile DianeAbbot says more about you tbh. GA, another thread about her, she's an easy target though for people with nothing better to do with their pompous liberal self-regard.

I don't really get "final solution" is it a reference to something else?

ShotsFired · 26/05/2017 14:02

The thing is, there IS a swathe of people who genuinely nod along with every word she says. She speaks to an audience of people who are scared and angry and ignorant (in the kindest sense of the word).

She knows this. She fuels their fire and it has wider implications than just threads on here saying how nasty she is - we're just an echo chamber.

We need to be more worried about the minds she is entrenching and the cages she is rattling as a kind of call to arms.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 26/05/2017 14:08

brexit
Firstly, I think KH did know what it meant and secondly, now you know you wouldn't dream of using the phrase in the context she did.

Huge difference.

DixieFlatline · 26/05/2017 14:08

Right. Because 'final solution' just slips off the tongue when you don't know what it means. Uh-huh.

DixieFlatline it's two common words Biscuit for you.

I could have easily said it in a work situation and caused offense.
