He's also just taken an old, shit, tired and recycled twitter dig and got the thumbs up for it, certain twist of irony going on in the post above yours and inside his head. So fuck if someone re tweets an article of hers? Least it shows that after 150 characters they can still hold their concentration.

 

[Firky]

I bet she didn't anyway, she probably just saw some people get teargassed from a few streets away.

Smelling it in the air is the same as being teargassed and you can make the rest up.

 

[Louis MacNeice]

to be fair i've sent texts while running.

I have sent a text about running....and it is the only text I have ever sent.

Cheers - Louis MacNeice

Not being overly familiar (or bothered about) twitter, i had no idea it was a shit, recycled dig, i just quoted it as it was on their feed and raised a smile. Although this thread has become about LP, it isn't all about LP.

For Laura;

Pro: Not a terrible article on abortion in Ireland http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/irel...ly-wont-change-a-thing?utm_source=vicetwitter

Con: Fucking terrible title. Underground Abortion Railroad? There are nearly a hundred flights from Ireland to the UK a day, never mind the fucking ferry. Jesus. Hyperbolise much?

Con: This article http://www.newstatesman.com/laurie-penny/2013/02/dear-vatican-i-would-be-pope-love-laurie-penny

Laurie Penny has GCSE Latin and a collection of ridiculous hats, plus years of experience dealing with in-fighting and intrigue (on the British Left). There is literally no reason she couldn't be Pope. Except for the Catholic thing. And the woman thing

Jesus GCSE Latin? Why don't you stick a kick me sticker on your back love?

She'll use probably cite this thread as supporting evidence.

Underground Abortion Railroad?

Middling name for a band, shit headline for an article.

she doesn't do citations.

I've got Standard Grade and higher Latin, want to kick me too?

There's about zero chance she wrote the headline herself.

 

[8den]

No, but you're not going around presenting yourself as Laurie Penny does in the national press are you?

 

[8den]

Probably, but at least she should have had some input into it.

 

[Bakunin]

Terrible, those minimum wage sub editors.

"you'll draw back a stump"

 

[Firky]

I did GCSE Latin, everyone did in their first year and you could then choose to drop it after the second year (y10).

Not being overly familiar (or bothered about) twitter, i had no idea it was a shit, recycled dig, i just quoted it as it was on their feed and raised a smile. Although this thread has become about LP, it isn't all about LP.

Was more a go Alex than you, having a go at someone because they happened to like a LP article than you. Laurie Penny is a compulsive liar but uses that flaw to spin a yarn with. If she did satire or something she'd probably be quite good at it.

Asinus es. Nothing wrong with GCSE Latin.

No she would not, she'd be and is fucking awful at it - just read that latest piece for evidence

Doing good satire and being extremely un self aware do not go hand in hand
