Still laughing at this... FOUNDER OF A HASHTAG.
She’s a FOUNDER of a HASHTAG.

Brilliant, just utterly brilliant. Slacktivism at its finest.
Although, being serious for a moment, the idea behind it is more or less solid. The actual hashtag itself is shite, and as I said above conflates the old ‘Thunderclap’ social media activism platform and ‘clapping for carers’ so it doesn’t make much sense to those not in the know.
It’s just galling that she’s going to use this (recycled/stolen, not massively groundbreaking, not particularly well thought-out) ‘activism’ to pump up her already inflated ego. Most of the useful features like Hey MP has been created and suggested by other people.
Given how much airtime she spent to correcting people using the hashtag incorrectly and posting fawning tweets to blue tickers, I smell an ego exercise rather than actually trying to achieve something useful.
Let’s see how this one develops, taking bets on whether this is all long forgotten by this time next week...
