Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson is an embarrassment to journalism

[frogwoman]

'I have just contracted COVID-19. This is the moment ive been waiting for, doing my bit for herd immunity. I've just booked a flight to Sweden leaving today to get away from this dystopian health fascism'

'I came to sweden expecting not to have to worry about covid19 controls, what I found is more people cowering in fear'
'What you mean you have to stat at home when you are sick, so much for herd immunity, taxes are sky high, this supposed land of freedom is a deceptive lie, plus everything is in Swedish this is why Brexit is right we have to throw away these Scandinavian shackles. I was shocked and disgusted to find social distancing signs on bus stations and Tegnell washes his hands after going to the bathroom blah blah'

I don't know how she does it

 

[frogwoman]

'Really shocked to find Swedish doctors wearing masks, what happened to common sense, woke culture has invaded the hospitals here. And now they have put me on a CPAP machine even though covid kills less people than slipping on a banana peel'

Is Allison Pearson important in any way?

"plus everything is in Swedish"

I used to like the three Ps on the review show - Paulin, Parsons and Pearson - but she's gone way off beam in recent years. Or maybe she always was and I didn't notice.

a lot of columnists have gone off beam over the last decade. Could be the click driven business model driving ever more batshit takes, could just be that corbyn, brexit and modernity have actually broken the minds of quite a few people who thought they had a handle on the state of the world and could tell us about it in amusing newspaper columns.

not so far as I can tell, just another parochial bigot with a newspaper gig

Mrs Q is barely five foot and she can be fucking terrifying at times, comes of keeping 3 dozen teenagers in line through force of will

i dont read columnists on the whole these days but am always surprised that even the crappest have a regular gig. is there some kind of matey matey YTS scheme that we don't know about that keeps this lot in regular work ?

Yes, except we do know about it. It's happening right there in front of us.

She studied English at Clare College, Cambridge

 

[ElizabethofYork]

She's doing a Katie Hopkins, isn't she? Saying stupid incendiary things just to get a reaction.

 

[Idris2002]

TBF he might have had a point - yes, the country postponed being ruled by eugenicist bellends by winning ww2 but here they are again.

Was not the bold Winnie an eugenicist bellend himself?

 

[Lorca]

didn't she write an article excoriating John Bercow over his alleged bullying - he's quite short himself i think.

Takedown of Allison Pearson, thread:

 

[19force8]

This is vile beyond belief:

 

[19force8]

In essence what he said was Pearson, JHB & Toby Young were among those consciously stoking hatred of and aggression towards NHS workers.

The idea that this would damage her reputation is laughable, especially given her behaviour over this unremarkable comment.

 

[teqniq]

Yeah I was looking at this earlier. apparently she's lost her blue tick on Twitter, quite possibly because loads of people have reported her. The thread's worth a look too.

Parsons was always a cunt.

Only to herself.

TBF "collective opinion" would be more legally defensible, I think

 

[Orang Utan]

She’s in the same dog face wearing cult as Marty

Yeah, and put a poll on the thread, just to be sure #nukeitfromurban

If everyone libels her she won’t be able to sue us all. The stupid goose-botherer
