Going to quote myself here... sarry!To be fair, she did write a really good series of tweets about Priti's draconian new trespass laws which will impact horribly on the GRT community.
However!
Just own who you are. Gypsy, Irish, New Age... whatever you are, just be that.
Don't hint at claiming something that isn't yours.
@CabalofBolorneaise has it right - she must live in constant fear of being Ken-d.
It wouldn't bother me quite as much if she wasn't such a rude, aggressive arsehole. But she's allowing people to assume she is a Gypsy or Traveller. She's not correcting them, and she refuses to explain anything about her background (Ken tried, bless 'im).Going to quote myself here... sarry!
Living with Gypsy people, I never was anything but a gorja woman.
People liked it or people didn't like it.
Their choice.
But I never denied my own heritage and pretended to be someone I wasn't.
Agree completely. She’s exploiting middle class guilt on Twitter by feigning these identities, if she fessed up to the truth no one would be donating to buy her a new oven or table would they? It’s the same with Jack’s “keep my larder stocked and keep me and SB fedAnd that's before we consider the fact that she's profiting, through some of these assumptions she's allowing people to make...
I hope it helps to know that RM is a rogue individual who isn't an ambassador for GRT people any more than she is for epilepsy.It wouldn't bother me quite as much if she wasn't such a rude, aggressive arsehole. But she's allowing people to assume she is a Gypsy or Traveller. She's not correcting them, and she refuses to explain anything about her background (Ken tried, bless 'im).
Acting the way that she does just confirms people's prejudices, and paints us in a bad light. GRT people do not need someone like her attached to us, not at all.
And that's before we consider the fact that she's profiting, through some of these assumptions she's allowing people to make...
Still find it difficult to believe a women wrote that sentence, it’s really fucking scary. The use of the word whores is super disturbing, like something a vile misogynistic punter would sayGrandad being a Tory MP was definitely a plot twist I didn't see coming, but in hindsight makes perfect sense.

What’s the going rate for a troll? Are they paid per word, post, campaign of hate or is it salaried position? Keeping my options open for if my Jack Monroe patreon tracking doesn’t take offI advanced searched 'troll' and - as you might expect - there are a lot of results, however I think my new favourite thing is selecting tweets and presenting them with no context.

There'll be extended consequences, Melody!
The usual accusation, at least when accusing people of being paid by the government to shill for them on politics sites¹, is that they get paid per post.What’s the going rate for a troll?

She really hates that kid doesn’t sheWill she use the isolating illness as an excuse to take the customary little break from twitter, or for berserking?
Will @NHS_111 be called upon?
