I think we should take a moment to appreciate how far cancel culture has come. Here we've got Godley absolutely bang to rights with some horrible shit and it's clear that someone out there was simply just waiting for the moment she coined in tax payers money to release this stuff - that's calculated and patient. But if you cast your mind back to the anger there was when normal, everyday person Mhairi Black won a seat in an election and you had every single Tory in the country frothing at the mouth trying to find reasons to keep that sort of peasant out - the best they could dig up was a tweet that said "maths is shite" and they ran with it.

Why? f**k knows. If it's real I have a lot of questions for the player. If it's fake I have a lot of questions for the internet. EDIT - having now Googled what the f**k is going on here, there is an entirely reasonable explanation - Ukraine lad had a head injury from a previous game and the bandage used for this game was similar to his skin colour apparently, so it's just a bandage falling off the guys head and we don't have people pretending to be bald, or people making videos to make it look like someone was pretending to be bald.

ICTChris Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Assume so. I actually remember the furore about her tweeting Kanye saying that Scots understand the slave trade because of the highland clearances. What an embarrassment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) There should be a statute of limitations on offensive tweets but then at the same time Godley is very annoying. This is too difficult for me to work out, might as well see what happens. I'm not the biggest fan of journalists anyway but The Daily Beast really does exclusively hire losers and nerds. ETA: People are losing perspective if they're commending a Tory MSP on doing literally anything. The guy really just hates the SNP and will do anything to try and damage them.

KnightswoodBear Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 If Godley does end up being cancelled by this, that would be the moment for both sides of the Twitter Archaeology War to tactfully call a truce and we can all get back to abusing each other with impunity. It would be like one of those accidentally positive side effects of War like duct tape or penicillin. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One tweet read: “Fucksake That horsey face black wummin on Xfactor is flashing her tits...is this not a kids show?” Another said: “Kelly does speak like the stereotyped black Aunt Jemima who stands on a stool in the Tom & Jerry cartoons screaming ‘TOM TOM.’” A third tweet from Godley described the Destiny’s Child star as “the black horse from USA.” There are several more tweets about Rowland that are clearly racist, including: “If Kelly talks like a ghetto blaster racist black chick am gonna punch her rice and peas.” There is a definite theme here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is much worse. Outstanding. Get her binned and out of the public consciousness immediately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember going to football games where we would just get a train to the town and wander about looking for the ground. You'd keep an eye out for floodlights or just follow people wearing scarves etc. I'm going to make a boomer-esque meme for Facebook about it. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) I don't think that's specific to younger generations either. I see it in my work with older guys, a guy in his 50's called us one day saying his satnav wasn't working and we would need to delay a job whilst he went to buy another one. He was swiftly told to use a map and get there on time, much to his disgust. People are just lazy c***s, it's not specific to any generation.
