[Spanky Longhorn]

x10 bonus points for interrupting a woman when she's in the middle of saying somthing and then finishing her point and making it seem like you're educating her

 

[love detective]

leftsplainers

Is this activist speak?

i think ellie got a lot of grief on twitter for going over for the Obama campaign - this is her retort

 

[Captain Hurrah]

I'd be gulping down my urge to laugh if some cunt said leftsplain/er/ing in my presence. Not my world.

 

[DotCommunist]

is it the same as taylor swifting?

I was about to say that on balance, Ellie is looking significantly dafter than Laura but it's a damned close run thing.

It’s election night and I’m a political journalist and I haven’t even checked Twitter because it doesn’t seem very important right now.

 

[rekil]

Spoke too soon. Ellie blocks PD on the twitter machine over mild anti-commentariat remarks.

I've really been leftsplained at a lot during the US elections. So tired of being treated like a naive fool because I'm pleased Romney lost.

@MissEllieMae Yeah but the white house do was dead good though wasn't it. Victory to cmbbe O'Hagan!

@MissEllieMae Meaningful left-wing politics ftw

That aside, I thought it was a pretty good article, the style of writing didn't seem as forced, cluttered and as unbearable as usual

It was acceptable until this familiar awful shit.

These people believe in American Democracy and their place in it in the way that some people believe in the Holy Ghost or Father Christmas. They believe in it desperately, childishly, because they need something to believe in, and the fact that they have little to no evidence that it’s going to do anything for them if it exists at all just makes belief more precious.

There's shit before that, but that's the worst of it.

sounds like she's actually getting her hands mucky with the norms, in a pretty tough situation, and for that she gets some respect and commun-is brownie points..

No she doesn't. People like us, and not like her, have to 'get their hands mucky' every day just to put food on the table, but they don't get brownie points or respect. Or the choice to stay in because they're not feeling like it today. They get told they're lazy and entitled at worst and patronised and used by people like Laurie Penny at best.

It's not unreasonable to assume that she did it so she'd have something to flog. And she sought out that bigwig GQ journo and lied about being an organiser because to paraphrase something GW.Bush said following the tragic events of the 11th of September, through the tears she saw a juicy networking opportunity.

reminds me of that image of Nigella Lawson cooking at a barbecue. Normally the cook gets a load of smoke in their eyes, charcoal stains all over them, blisters and fat and red wine down their front but instead Nigella is pictured spotless wearing some sky blue chiffon dress with a bit of perfectly cooked chicken on a barbecue fork being held away from her as far as possible

Prepare thyself, shower. I shall be in you shortly.

Found ski boots, off to Cortina for well-earned hols. Adieu under-the-stairs, I love you, but the cleaner needs to do a better job.
