Random Irritations

Blokes wearing trousers 2 inches too short and then bright socks..... Who in the hell wants to see your bloody socks?

This fashion fad of sour dough and crushed avocado. Stop being a sheep, you aren't cool.
 
Picked HID up from the railway station after she had a day in London. The only parking is limited to 20 minutes ( no problem) there are only 20 parking bays and 14 of them are marked for disabled blue badge holders only !
 
"Social Media Boycott"...seriously?!
I heard that and nearly laughed my bits off.
Apparently some people are getting really upset ................................... maybe they should just get a real life instead.

Are they not doing it to stand up against Racist abuse on social media ?

Whats funny about it ?
 
That a 24 hour boycott on them posting on Twitter etc is a powerful stand up to racism? Seriously?!

"I refuse to post pictures of my cat on Instagram for 1 whole day" - take that you racist pigs!
You probably have significantly less followers than them Tbf.
How many times is the PL tweeted about daily? It all helps with sponsorship I’d imagine. If one day there are no tweets it may be noticeable?

If they didn’t tweet for a week I’m sure it would be.

#metoo got how much exposure? I mean, it’s only a tweet........
 
I don't have any followers...

It just seems totally over-egged as a stand up to racism.
It’s been done as a protest to the media corporations lack of action against it.

Famous people will obviously have significantly more followers than the rest of us. Without constant retweets, twitter for example becomes redundant. It may actually cause then to look into security measures. The spread of many things such as racist videos, homophobic, deaths etc spread through social media like wildfire. Even when a culprit is caught this organisations are uncooperative with the police as they’re scared to lose subscribers.

It may not be chaining themselves to railings or burning bras. But in this day and age, Exposure or lack of it is key.

Well they could do nothing - a lot of these guys and girls have hundreds of thousands of people following them and social media is powerful tool and has the platform to send a big message. It’s been done before with sexism and also from the LBGT community.
 
But Paul Pogba not sharing his latest hair colour,or Lingard not treating us to to his new hand shake.
Tbh that’s hardly a punishment 😉
 
I could have posted this on the eco warrior thread but she irritates me, so.....?

Emma Thompson. Self righteous hypocrite. Apparently she plants lots of trees so that makes up for the huge number of long haul flights she takes and allows her to lecture the rest of us. Fly to the US for a luvvy awards ceremony, plant a tree. That's okay then.

Definitely seems to be a degree of hypocrisy given her carbon footprint travelling all over the world for filming and awards and does her tree planting really cancel that out.
