Just how vigorous was it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because she famously said a couple of silly things, I think she got some basic maths wrong iirc so she’s a target for Internet jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm aware of that, but lots of people in public life have said silly things at various points, it's just very very noticeable that the target is the woman who gets 10x more abusive and threatening messages than any other MP. I get that I'm being humourless about it, so I shall leave it there, but I do not love it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She certainly gets her fair share, but this week I’ve seen plenty for Boris (as usually), jokes aimed at Raab about not knowing basic geography or time keeping etc. Hancock got plenty too. I don’t think it’s a colour or a sex thing personally (but could be wrong). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s a colour or a sex thing personally (but could be wrong). its a labour thing as well, probably with a bit of brexit thrown in too and with that there will be a touch of both sexism and racism due to the right wing opposition to it im not going to suggest that the tories invested some money in the dark arts and specifically targeted her for social media ridicule during the last election...but its definitely stuck i would say that she was maybe the 2nd highest profile figure in corbyn's labour, he got battered and so did she, it was almost american, forget all the things she's good at, forget all the things the tories are bad at, dont even think about whether or not she'd be better than what we currently have...here's a photoshopped picture of her not being able to wear shoes properly, dont vote for her because she's stupid, vote for Boris he's got a posh voice so must be clever...and every Dave in the country bought in to it Edited August 20, 2021 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s a colour or a sex thing personally (but could be wrong). I'm sure the poster wasn't posting it as sexism or racism, but there is a very frequent thing that happens that people on far-right Facebook groups put 'quotes' that she has never said on images of her; sometimes those 'quotes' are straight up racism, and sometimes they're bad jokes as here, but a lot of this stuff comes from very fetid sources. And she gets more than her fair share; analysis by Amnesty before the 2017 election found that 45% of all abuse directed at female MPs was directed at her. Anyway, I'll really leave it this time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t find funny, that’s fine but no need to comment about it and make it into something that just isn’t there. I’ll leave it there.
