I have deleted it. Can you do the same on your quote?that birmingham 6 guy on twitter is a massive antisemite, don't use his material.
See her at the LP conference later this week. Apart from a few shits, soon to be gone forever, who is she going to talk too?

Aye and it’s not like the practice of encouraging pile ons when you have a huge twitter following hasn’t been highlighted before.Yeah setting her twitter followers on him was a cunt move also.
Her bodyguard.See her at the LP conference later this week. Apart from a few shits, soon to be gone forever, who is she going to talk too?

The key difference is that Krishnan didn't tweet that the guy was a Labour activist and link to his Twitter.Krishnan Guru-Murphey of Channel Four tweeted the same thing at pretty much the same time.
If only I could think of a reason that Laura Kuenessberg (sp?) is getting a monstering for it when KGM isn't....
Not really the same thing at all then, kebabking ...The key difference is that Krishnan didn't tweet that the guy was a Labour activist and link to his Twitter.
It facilitated another pro-govt narrative that this confrontation was in bad faith and just engineered to make Boris look bad, and was an invitation for a Twitter mob to descend on this poor guy who's already got a lot on his plate.
At best it is fantastically naive about what the consequences would be - but I doubt a 24/7 hack like Laura K can really hide behind that excuse.
Totally ignoring of course another massive porky told by our PM - apparently so busy with govt's new legislative agenda he has to prorogue - as he does a bit of blatant electioneering.
This is interesting and will worry the BBC that people are actually scrutinising their broadcasts.
The tweets have been taken out of context too: like politics dot com tweeted the story then Laura in conversation straight off the bat was like “yeah it turns out he’s a labour activist”. I mean why would you?The key difference is that Krishnan didn't tweet that the guy was a Labour activist and link to his Twitter.

He did link to his twitter, on which the guy had spoken about the confrontation himself.The key difference is that Krishnan didn't tweet that the guy was a Labour activist and link to his Twitter.

Before she did.

Sorry but bollocks. There’s no whiff of solidarity at all. It’s just a slightly different tone.There’s a whiff of solidarity in Kristian’s post though. Can’t you sense it man? I dunno, I’ve always thought Guru-Murthy was sound, his tweets on the Syrian conflict certainly didn’t trigger a desire to punch him in the face anyway.
/post based on gut feelings only
Massively different and entirely different context too.Sorry but bollocks. There’s no whiff of solidarity at all. It’s just a slightly different tone.
Blah blah, it’s not that though is it. Save the BBC BIAS stuff for the loons.So do I have this right? An employee of a state enterprise has been suspected of acting in the interests of the government?
That is very very revealing, hope it gets shared, not one for BBC bias overall, but that is glaring.
I’m not saying I agree with her tweet. But I think the level of ire aimed at it is disproportionate considering all the other male reporters who did the same earlier. As is all the criticism she gets.Except how many women in this thread pointed out she was being a wanker? Me, Rutita.. etc etc.
Don’t you get a bit suspicious of people, esp dudes- throwing that in right away though? It’s a bit try hard isn’t it. There’s no way that her being a woman is what motivated people on urban to say Christ fuck off Laura. We’ve got a hard enough time dealing with actual sexism without getting bogged down in red herrings.I’m not saying I agree with her tweet. But I think the level of ire aimed at it is disproportionate considering all the other male reporters who did the same earlier. As is all the criticism she gets.
I grew up almost entirely around women though till my dad appeared on the scene. Us debating= all voices getting louder and louder all culminating in a glorious crescendo of self righteousnessI’m not saying I agree with her tweet. But I think the level of ire aimed at it is disproportionate considering all the other male reporters who did the same earlier. As is all the criticism she gets.
But why did they not say fuck off Guido; or fuck off Krishnan; or fuck off any of the other many other journos who did it before she did in the hour before she did? The people I saw getting criticised most when it happened were Laura Kunesberg and Beth Rigsby from Sky News. Not the other 20 odd male journos who had done it. That’s not to say I agree with any of it. But it’s a bit telling. And also actual legit journalism tbf. Even the man filmed has said he doesn’t have a problem with it. It’s not exactly doorstepping Gareth Edwards parents to tell them he’s HIV positive.Don’t you get a bit suspicious of people, esp dudes- throwing that in right away though? It’s a bit try hard isn’t it. There’s no way that her being a woman is what motivated people on urban to say Christ fuck off Laura.

And also- women don’t have a collaborative consensual style of speaking to each other. Particularly not where there’s a huge class divide.
