Perhaps she needs to engage her brain before clicking and sharing.

Hi- his was covered in some depth yesterday on here webbo

If I understand this correctly, she 'liked' and 'shared' a tweet made on account known for it's *ironic* content.

Therefore she was liking the comment 'made under those particular circumstances' and not agreeing with the sentiment as it appears to be expressed...

[Peter Pedant]

keep their mouths shut and er bite the bullet ?

[naomi24]

^Why would any rational person 'like' such a comment under any circumstances? Stupid woman.

[naomi24]

^That was in response to jackthehat's post.

[ludwig]

It was the irony she was 'liking'. Yeah right.

Sorry if this was covered yesterday, I'm on my phone rather than my pc which is a lot easier to scroll through when you have "fat fingers "

Well maybe it was *meant* to be satirical, but this is what I mean by the whole "know your audience" thing. Twitter is public. It's stupid for a public figure to like such a comment, whether they were treating it as a joke or not, because any humour is going to be lost by the (total lack of) context.

And even that's assuming that it was meant to be funny to start with.

[jackthehat]

The Tweet came from a Satirical site.

Does this mean that we can't agree that we like satire unless we go to a lengthy expostion of the underlaying themes with which we are dis/agreeing and acknowledge that there may be an element of discomfiture to those also reading but that we understand that the comments are simply to provoke a reaction and to make people consider the validity of their opinions and deconstruct their own Shibboleths?

That's far too much hard work....

[Spicerack]

Let's give her the benefit of the doubt, Ludwig, as ridiculous as it is.

[Garaman]

It was a parody of an Owen Jones account: ‘Those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths. For the good of diversity.’. It is a shame that her liking the parody seems to have be taken as her literally agreeing with what it said.

[Deskdiary]

Why should we give her the benefit of the doubt?

This is the same woman who blamed her hatred of Jews last year on 'ignorance'.

If she was being ironic, which I don't believe for a minute she was, why would (a) the like and re-tweet be deleted by her and (b) why would a spokesman say the like and re-tweet was a 'genuine mistake'.

This woman dislikes Jewish people, and it now appears, for the sake of diversity, she would like the girls raped by the Muslim men in Rochdale to keep quiet.

It speak volumes to me about Corbyn that she is one of his rising stars and an ally.

[naomi24]

Bearing in mind that Corbyn, just days ago, refused to concede that gangs of Pakistani Muslims are responsible for grooming and sexually abusing young white girls, I wouldn’t give any of his bunch the benefit of the doubt. They’re all living in Cloud Cuckoo Land.

[-Talbot-]

Puzzled why intelligent people are making excuses for her.

It was explained away as two fat finger mistakes
so all the satirical stuff is obviously nonsense.

[Garaman]

Well if she didn't know it was a parody I wish I hadn't commented, and she should be thrown out of parliament.

[ToraToraTora]

standard stuff from the right on brigade who think that it is better to endure almost anything that risk being called on of the "isms".

[Peter Pedant]

I love 3Ts logo of The Nige
when I see it I know I will read a 3T-ism

isnt the ism for fat fingered ness - lipo-dactyl-ism ?

if not - then it should be - end of

// It is a shame that her liking the parody seems to have be taken as her literally agreeing with what it said. //

Has she said anywhere that she was liking the parody and people misunderstood? I can only see references to her apologising for making a mistake.

[Garaman]

ludwig, I have already been corrected and accepted it, but jump in and have a kick if you must.

[ludwig]

// ludwig, I have already been corrected and accepted it //

I didn't see that. It was meant as a genuine question, not a 'kick'.
