Jokes about drowning teenage girls are hilarious, insist people who had a fit when people made jokes about milkshakes
He explained, Everybody is claiming to be horrified just because a dodgy millionaire has made jokes regarding the death by drowning of an autistic teenage girl. But where was their outrage when people made jokes about Nigel Farage being shown milkshakes? Where were their angry tweets when people were making jokes about Tommy Robinsons imprisonment?
Once again its one rule for them and another rule for us lot. Im sure if I looked long enough I could find a prominent Remainer making jokes about wanting young girls to die. Just because Google doesnt find anything doesnt mean it didnt happen.

and should be led away by kind people, as the English would say. Perhaps to vacant cells in The Tower
of London...

Even if it is only to state why they disagree with her.
Instead they just lob insults and abuse. It's pretty dreadful when the best that right wingers can do in response to environmentalism is schoolyard bullying.

Maybe not so far from the real thing when it comes to Banks, though!
