Maybe you missed it:
At the Labour conference a week or so ago, an MP referred to Tories as “scum”. Yup, that’s the majority of the voting population, and the ones they are trying to win over, are ‘scum’.
I agree twitter is a hateful place, but so is the political left. But the vast majority of twitter are also very left wing.
- pjc50 5y agoTories are not a majority.
- adaml_623 5y agoTwo factual errors in your comment: 1. "Tories" refers to the party members not the people who voted for them. 2. Only 44% voted for the Tories so not a majority. I can't disagree that twitter is full of hate but I can laugh at your stated impression about the political left and the political leanings of twitter. It's like complaining that environmental scientists are biased in their belief in climate change.

Well I don't have to look it up to guess who that would be, but I think my point stands - it's not 'people are talking about that she said that', but a 'hashtag' used presumably to echo the sentiment. I wish it were confined to its chamber. (And fwiw I don't want to see '#LabourScum' either.)
