Now that things have calmed down a bit, can I go back in time a few days and say I feel really bad for Big Dave? Especially if the stuff about him helping vulnerable tenants is true, which based on the fostering is quite plausible in my opinion. AFAIK we have no evidence that he ever really did describe himself as a Marxist-Leninist Bolshevik who sings Das Kapital to the tune of the Internationale while saluting the queen, which means his only crimes are being a landlord and having a gobshite daughter. Regardless of your opinion on the former he's one of millions and doesn't deserve to be personally dragged by twitter on that basis alone.
I keep thinking about my own landlord, who's the sort of sweet but clueless person who does things like letting homeless people live in his empty properties for free and then getting surprised when it causes issues, or replacing my broken appliances with brand new ones when they have a small fault because the idea of repairing them seems too complicated. The thought of him being the subject of a twitter pile on because someone made baseless claims that he said this sort of bollocks is just mortifying.

Do you know if this graph shows absolute numbers or a percentage of the maximum? Just wondering as both lines peak at 100 and I'm not sure if that's a coincidence.Went to go check if Google search volume for Jack had increased this weekend, it hasn’t, but interesting compared the past 12 months with the past 90 days (or 3 months) that whilst Jack Monroe tattle has been her highest search query in both periods, the discrepancy between that term and “Jack Monroe recipes” has widened significantly (pls see attached images). Then thought why not compare the two lifetime, and look, what a sight! Pretty much since the inception of these threads we’ve had more interest than her slop. The steep incline in that line suggests her tattle has been at its most searched for over the last couple of weeks…. Makes u think!
