I really don’t know the details of it all - I did catch an interesting tweet about the complete lack of support from other big military campaigners for Pen. The tweet alluded to this lack of support being telling.
Ultimately, the government has been, as usual, inept in the evacuation and it is sheer luck the Americans are grieving over lost lives (and the Afghans, of course). But, I think the government can be a shit show AND the one white man can come across as a complete prick. These two things are not mutually exclusive. I might feel differently if he was sat on a plane with those Afghan workers and their families instead of dogs and cats that might have to be put down on arrival.
And RSM has obviously not heard of the Red Queen Hypothesis (aka running to stay still).Watch out, look at Charles Darwin over here. Interestingly it seems there is no evidence to suggest that sabre tooth tigers ate humans. Maybe they just said horrible ableist things to them. I'm going to trust you did the maths properly Flash but ultimately it doesn't matter becauseIT ISN'T TRUE.
Wait there’s a LOT to unpack here but yikes at the smirking child / “not even a bite for you” bit?she's done a loooong potatoes-style thread about her trials and tribulations

I agree, the amount of people who want to help especially after this last 18 months is incredible. Yes I agree there are people out there who are too proud to ask for things they need but rsm certainly isnt one of those is she. It's all poverty cosplay to keep those donations from well wishers rolling inFeel bad commenting as I’ve never been poor in adulthood so pls call me out if I’m being insensitive - but do people even give away vile tatty things on Facebook? We have a community no buy page and tbh the stuff on there is always lovely, some people have put tat on and been flamed by members or given broken stuff and banned entirely. There have been posts like oh we have a family who need XYZ or a pregnant teen etc or collections for refugees or one person pre covid did stuff with dogs in Europe so needed food and towels and within afew hours the request is fulfilled?! The no buy phenomenon on Facebook has really taken off that I really can’t imagine anyone is living in the way she describes? Especially if she has a car for collection?!
From the very first sentence of this thread I got Rachel Swinton vibes.she's done a loooong potatoes-style thread about her trials and tribulations

I don't even understand why a broken colander means you can't have pasta? It's annoying, and means you probably have to drain it using a saucepan lid, but not impossible and certainly better than starving.I grew up relatively poor. We weren’t allowed to eat without asking (I guess so my mum knew the ingredients would be there coke lunch/dinner) and we ate what we were given. Surely this isn’t too much to ask of the ‘kray twins’? If they like pasta, it’s cheap to buy and make so she should stick to that if it’s easier. Colander can be picked up cheap too, especially if you budget
Like all these people - and doesn’t like stick with like, what with her being such good Twitter pals with GI Jack, there is probably a tiny snippet of truth...maybe she had a bash at something new for dinner and the kids didn’t like it, and they have played up for her...and before you know it we have a “I am so poor - and so poorly, please PayPal me cash.” EXACTLY the same when she had the parking fine.I don't even understand why a broken colander means you can't have pasta? It's annoying, and means you probably have to drain it using a saucepan lid, but not impossible and certainly better than starving.
Also the handwringing about having to go to the shop to get bread ffs. She isn't even saying she can't afford it but that she'll be paying over the odds. Again, yes, that is annoying but better than starving.
Assuming it is true, scrimping and saving and not giving your family what you would wish for is heartbreaking, but the examples she gives are so bizarre.
