You mean sexist weirdo, clearly

I try not to judge unless the sexism is really blatant, rather than so subtle as to be invisible to mere mortals.

 

[Badgers]

Maybe you should tweet them back and tell them to read this thread?

I did sort of test a reaction:

@MagicTina @WindmillBrixton I would look at the whole story (both sides) first. Then again I was not there. Were you?

Reply:

@MagicTina @Badgers_Musing What is the other side? That he had a really good reason to attack a girl and call her a "paki"?! @WindmillBrixton

 

[ViolentPanda]

I didn't know that off-piste was a synonym for incredibly stupid.

It's not. I didn't mention the stupidity because I thought it spoke for itself, but you have a point: It's always worth highlighting incredible stupidity.

I really don't think she has any right to be labelling me as a sexist tbf...

That's not an entirely fair thing to take the piss out of. My kids have a double barreled surname cos me and my partner aren't married. Doesn't mean we're posh!

D-B surname is no longer necessarily a sign of being a posho, to be fair. It could alternatively mean that her parents combined their surnames when they married, or that they never married but that she took both their surnames.
She looks a bit twatty, though, although that's not necessarily a sign of poshness either.

Yes (and sexist)

Nice catch.

 

[krtek a houby]

Just for balance (!!!) any screen shots of twitter blokes having their say?

 

[wayward bob]

@ddraig that's not for real, right?

I've come across triple-barrelled in definitely not at all posh.

[DJ Squelch]

Can you see where the Tuts self-proclaimed "we're violent" stuff has gone?

The Tuts are claiming they've not deleted their posts about being violent, but I can't find them anywhere now.

there's still this on their twitter from 30th June

 

[ViolentPanda]

@ddraig that's not for real, right?

It's real alright. If you google the name, the crest is at the top lefthand corner of the first hit page.

That's an entirely different matter then

dodgy shape to the wings on that bird

 

[wayward bob]

i'm not up for making anything more personal than it already is, or going out with flaming torches or owt, but fuck that made me laugh

 

[Lord Camomile]

It's a stigma I've lived with all my life

And yet still when I see another double-barrelled surname I think "posh git"

 

[ddraig]

I've come across triple-barrelled in definitely not at all posh.

i DO realise that and have come across plenty of non poshos with crazy high faluting names
if myself and current partner out our names together it would poshify me by a few 1000%

Oh dear.

SEXIST!!!

If that's true, then this is the point where I lose all sympathy for them and I can only view their attempts to ruin the reputation of the Windmill as being despicable.

I thought you were making the point that he'd somehow be better off if the police did arrest him as he'd then have the opportunity to prove himself innocent.

If you weren't making that point, then I apologise for thinking you were, and please ignore my response.

If you were, then your point is wrong for the reasons stated. Everyone in the scene would know about him being arrested, as this would be gossip that would spread like wildfire, but only a small percentage of those people would then be aware at a later point if he'd been acquitted as this wouldn't attract anything like the attention of the initial arrest. Unless he owned the venue, he'd also quite likely be suspended pending the results of the police action, which would also be picked up on as an indication of his guilt.

Sorry, but I don't agree with trial by rumour and letting someone have the opportunity to defend themselves (whilst presumption of innocence is in effect) is a far preferable scenario imo. I think it's quite telling that they are refusing to go down that avenue actually.

i presume and hope Kate is a bit more sussed and grown up than the Tuts
