The Corens in yesterday's Times magazine-wtf?

[mrcerec]

AIBU or are Esther's (?) comments about teachers and nurses horrific. I know it is meant to be humourous, but where is the humour in that? Is it me?

[megletthesecond]

She's taking the piss.

[LubaLuca]

They're a pair of self-satisfied twats, but to be fair to them; this is clearly intended to be humourous sarcasm.

[Alonelonelylonersbadidea]

The sarcasm flags are loud in this one. You don't see it???

I frequently roll my eyes at the pair of them but this was clearly a half assed joke because they don't have the energy for any more lockdown columns.

[RobertaSloth]

It’s very clearly all sarcastic.

[Mumblechum0]

I read it as sarcasm too

[Gingernaut]

I suspect that's sarcasm.

[GlassBoxSpectacular]

They’re pointing out that clapping nurses instead of paying them more is as ludicrous as claiming spaghetti hoops are one of your five-a-day.

It’s obviously a piss take.
