Is Ash Sarkar the stupidest person alive?

Bar Corbyn that is.
She has literally gone on twitter and posted a search she claims as proof that Julie bindel doesn’t care about women in prison.
Julie fucking bindel. Who founded justice for women. Who I’ve been aware of for what, 30 years? Since I developed feminist awareness, as someone involved in fighting for the rights of women in the CJS.
I mean, I know ash was almost literally born yesterday, but I wasn’t that stupid at her age

Just remembered that I had seen her before. On GMTV during the Trump visit. Watched it just now to remind myself. She was part of the anti Trump movement, but Piers Morgan took her apart for not knowing, even roughly, how many immigrants Obama had deported. She only offered thousands, it was over 3 million.

I'm no fan of Trump or Morgan, but I think his point was valid that someone in her position should have had a grasp of those sort of statistics.

AbsintheFriends · 19/10/2018 18:37

I don't think she deals in facts or statistics. She's more about a generalised sort of... offended outrage.

nauticant · 19/10/2018 18:43

She operates according to the current rules of social media. The content of what you say doesn't matter, so long as it gets attention. The same approach as Trump.

Freespeecher · 19/10/2018 19:14

The literal Communist? Surely that makes her the People's Idiot.

BumbrainusMaximus · 19/10/2018 19:18

What is it about the Labour Party that makes it so magnetic now to people with utter shit for brains?
No hang on. I know the answer to that.
As you were

If you Google Julie Bindel, the opening paragraph on her Wikipedia page is:

Julie Bindel (born 20 July 1962) is an English writer, radical feminist, and co-founder of the law-reform group Justice for Women, which since 1991 has helped women who have been prosecuted for killing violent male partners.

I mean, is Ash Sarkar trolling or something? No one can be that dim surely?

Melanippe · 19/10/2018 19:26

Yes, she is actually the stupidest person on Twitter. She has also opened herself up to potential libel action.

CaptainBrickbeard · 19/10/2018 19:33

I just read that thread. She calls herself a journalist and then posts her ‘research’ - a Twitter search showing Julie Bindel has not tweeted about Sarah Reed. She calls that ‘evidence’ that Bindel doesn’t care about women in prison. She couldn’t even google Julie Bindel?? She really knows so very little about Julie Bindel that she wasn’t aware?

Someone has posted a photo of Bindel with a released female prisoner whom she helped get out of prison before Sarkar was born on that thread. It’s such a clear illustration of Sarkar’s utter, total, complete foolishness.

I honestly can’t believe the stupidity and the arrogance. Sarkar hasn’t commented on it and has left the tweet standing without a word. She is incapable of either defending herself or admitting that she’s wrong and apologising.

I really hope she gets sued.

What a tool.

CaptainBrickbeard · 19/10/2018 19:38

And that dickhead doctor had retweeted it and again, instead of acknowledging that it is inaccurate, has accused the people pointing out its inaccuracy of picking a ‘petty fight’. Does he know what ‘petty’ means? Apparently not any more than Ash knows what ‘research’ means.

BumbrainusMaximus · 19/10/2018 19:43

Trouble is, like Owen Jones, she gets lots of cookies for being so utterly shit. Research, effort, building a solid reputation- why bother when being a total fuckwit gets you on breakfast telly?
Whether a durable career is built on such foundations is of course another question. One can only assume these little twats plan to get rich enough to retire before 40. They should do into the city - except they’re too thick, I suppose

They are a prime example of what happens when you are so open minded that your brain falls out...

Another one of these young folk self-iding as a journalist...

OvaHere · 19/10/2018 19:51

This is just embarrassing. Imagine thinking twitter is the sole arbiter of someone's accomplishments.

What's worrying is I suspect a number of people do think that way now.

Her version of 'communism' makes me really wish there was an afterlife so she could wake up every night to find Marx and Engels at the foot of her bed demanding she explain herself.

CunningOperative · 19/10/2018 20:45

Well, on the bright side it reminded me that I wanted to donate to the Justice for Women crowdfunder for Emma-Jayne Magson.
All done now, thanks Ash Grin

Cesca304 · 19/10/2018 20:50

I was just thinking that Cunning it would be nice if something good happened out of this ongoing trans nightmare.

LizzieSiddal · 19/10/2018 20:55

Was she on the Channel 4 trans “debate” with MB and Germaine Greer?

CallingDannyBoy · 19/10/2018 21:37

The twitter thread is hilarious love the comment ‘writes like a supermodel, fucks up like a champion’ plus Julie’s and Janice’s comments. Cheered me up on a Friday as the media coverage over the last couple of days has been a bit deflating.

TwistedStitch · 19/10/2018 22:18

Yeah the twitter thread is great. Nice to see Julie getting so much acknowledgement even from some who say they disagree with her on trans issues. The picture of her with (I think) Emma Humphries made me well up a bit.

stealthsquirrelnutkin · 19/10/2018 22:28

Hilarious.

Once I'd stopped laughing I too was inspired to donate to gofundme.com/justiceforwomencampaign

Yet another fine, women centric charity to add to the list of places my widow's mites will be welcome, now that all the political parties and most of the mainstream charities have announced their antipathy towards cunty people and obviously no longer want my direct debits or custom.

donquixotedelamancha · 19/10/2018 23:47

Thank you for the laugh OP.

Ash is apparently: Senior Editor @novaramedia.
Also apparently: At Novara Media, most of us don’t get paid.

So it's heartening that capitalism isn't completely flawed.

In all seriousness, how do shouty, entitled babies who give their bio as Walks like a supermodel. Fucks like a champion. and have no intellectual contribution to make get the chance to teach a masters course and write for major newspapers?

When did people like this take over? I missed the memo.

ToeToToe · 20/10/2018 00:12

Ash is so, so young.

This reminds me of when my children were young, and told about something that happened before they were born.

They would be amazed that I'd had a whole life, a childhood, had done stuff before they existed.

Ash has never grown out of the egocentricity of small children Grin

OlennasWimple · 20/10/2018 00:19

But if it's not on Twitter, did it even happen? I think not

TwistedStitch · 20/10/2018 01:40

Loving some of the responses to this.

Is Ash Sarkar the stupidest person alive?

Talk about narcissism and false identity.
