I am in my 30sand had also never even heard anyone use it. I cannot imagine it is a common word unless you are a UKIP voter tbh
loving you for the Tea but be careful this doesn’t become another brogan/becca rose situation, we wouldn’t want to lose you on the forum.Oh bless Hannah, she’s been reading our comments and seen we know Ziggy’s name so has gone and had a clear out of followers on her personal account!! Looks like you deleted the wrong people!! Not everyone thinks you’re a top lad hun!!!
This is why she missed work lads
I think everyone acting like they are so ‘woke’ they have never even heard the word is lyingI grew up in the North East of England and can absolutely assure you that it’s common practice to say it there - or at least was in the 90s/00s. So I imagine, depending on where that commenter comes from, it might have been all they knew for a while that people around them said it...

Imagine writing like this on your personal account too. What a whopperAmazingwe love you. Please more tea!
..........
Grieving the pregnancy she thought she'd have. She's so dramatic. Her writing is always the same, it reminds me of the "sob stories" on x factor. This big woe is me, tears, life is so hard.... Then the music comes.... BUT I know I'll be ok, I'm stronger than I think.... Music crescendo....I GOT THIS..... Music fades.... everything is going to be ok/I wouldn't want it any other way/then I look around and realise life isn't so bad. The end.
This makes me a little bit uncomfortable, feel like it crosses a line that doesn’t need to be crossed...Oh bless Hannah, she’s been reading our comments and seen we know Ziggy’s name so has gone and had a clear out of followers on her personal account!!

I agree. Your second pregnancy is completely different from your first. You have so much less time to daydream about your baby, you don’t need to go and look at prams and car seats because you already have them etc. You just have to get on with looking after your toddler / child and the baby grows in the background.I’m not being funny but second pregnancy with a toddler is never going to be a chill walk in the park of lunches and pregnancy messages. I just remember spending most of mine dealing with toddler tantrums, putting CBeebies on constant repeat and hoping that the baby would decide to come at a convenient time so we could have childcare in place.
It may sound trite but the world did not stop and I had to continue to be a mum, worked right up until the day I had the baby (from home as a digital writer and social media marketeer no less!)
It was less enjoying it and more getting on with it.
LADS, I didn’t even get a nap!
It's a post from her Instagram account not her secret diaryThis makes me a little bit uncomfortable, feel like it crosses a line that doesn’t need to be crossed...
I've heard it but I've always recognised it to be a racist slur. She wasn't an 80 year old using the term in the 50s, she was a young woman writing this in 2013 where it was pretty widely known to be offensive and she should have known better. There really is no excuse to use it, if she was ignorant about its meaning she should have educated herself instead of avoiding the issue.I think everyone acting like they are so ‘woke’ they have never even heard the word is lyingI will admit I used to think it was a shortered name for the Chinese (ignorant on my part and obviously now I know otherwise)
It was probably the same case for Hannah, however she has completely handled it wrong And hasn’t showed that she has educated herself in any way and admitted she completely ignored the messages asking her to take it down. If she had just admitted she didn’t understand the Word and apologised we may not even be having this convo!
Just FYI is you think her sibling is trans, referring to her as a man is transphobic. Let's not drag her family into this if they've got nothing to do with it - am sure they didn't ask Hannah to post a shitty non-apology!Is her brother transgender? He is in the long orange dress in the top pic and has changed his name to Poppy. I’m sure Hannah wouldn’t like slurs being made against him but it’s no biggie to make racial slurs
I think for me, the thing isn't even the original mistake - people do make bad choices and if you hear it casually your whole life, and you've never experienced racism (hello white privilege!) then you probably won't question it. I remember being 13 years old before I realised the P word was a slur because of where I grew up! HOWEVER. It's Hannah's dedication to keeping it up WAY after people had informed her it was racist as hell, the defending it by claiming she never read the posts, then avoiding all responsibility and not apologising - that's the crux of it, isn't it?I've heard it but I've always recognised it to be a racist slur.

Yes, to an extent I agree but she was what, in her mid-20s using the slur? It's quite widely known to be a racist slur, and since she studied at Kingston so she must have had at least some contact with people from different backgrounds. Unless she existed in a vaccum there was really no excuse for her to have used that term.I think for me, the thing isn't even the original mistake - people do make bad choices and if you hear it casually your whole life, and you've never experienced racism (hello white privilege!) then you probably won't question it.

Obviously none of us expect everyone to be perfect all the time - but we do expect an apology and some clear actions to be taken as a result of it!
