Correct on all counts. Godley's behaviour on and obvious addiction to Twitter I find a bit disturbing. That she would actively search for her name in the app and then respond to tweets about her (which may have been critical of her comedy or just low level abuse) that did not include her is plain weird. There is probably a term for this behaviour.  She just never understood the approach you set out of just ignoring trolls and idiots. Everything was a confrontation which she would actively relish until her horrific language came back to bite her.   

There were often times from what I saw that she'd attack people for really nothing and even when what they said was a bit nasty, sometime her replies were even worse.  There really is a lot to say for saying nothing and just letting trolls scream into the abyss.

Lots of things are subsidised though they're of minority interest, it doesn't matter whether you personally use them or not. You subsidise farmers, opera, Calmac ferries, swimming pools, nuclear bombs, baby boxes, the Queen, cricket... You probably do subsidise the pub, lots of their workers will be on tax credits.

Faith schools aren't "subsidised" anyway. They're paid for in the same way as every other school, and you pay for those whether you use them or not.

There's a helluva lot more to being a human than just what you can prove. 

Sorry for straying off topic again, I wish I had more willpower. 

You've made several points there and I'm not sure that they are connected.
I think (but by all means correct me) that the two most pertinent to this discussion are:

1) Lots of things are subsidised that we as individuals may not like. Okay, yes, I agree.

2) There's more to being a human than just what you can prove. Again, yes, fair point.

However, all that said, what else can you tell me that I pay for, that I subsidise, that also has no basis in fact? The only thing that occurred to me, as per my earlier post, was utter shite like homeopathy being on the NHS. Is there anything else, or is it basically religion?

Wtf? It has to be someone close to her to go that far.  Dirty snidey b*****ds trying to lose someone their income over an online comment is beyond the pale.

Went on a tour of central station “behind the scenes “ with that gentleman as the guide, unsure if they have started back after yet after COVID but was well worth it very interesting and that’s from someone that has no interest in trains ,I think they now have added more to the tour and a “museum “ since I went .

Well done guys     

you sent me right down a rabbit hole for the last 24 hours with those tattle threads on Vonny.

I hope you are pleased with yourselves.

I loved every second and have signed up to talk all matters Vonny, Godley, Haggerty and Darren McGarvey.

Just three bros, drinking from red cups in the office at 8.45 on a Tuesday morning.

The replies are magnificent, as one would expect.

The replies really are excellent. A mixture of being called out and  a smattering of pro Trump nonsense. Lovely stuff.

And one drops the cup.  Lightweight.

I'm no fan of Janey Godley, but a fucking Tory MSP complaining about historical tweets is a bit of a brass neck when his party is led by Douglas Ross and Boris Johnson.

To be fair, if you've  got to go that's  the way to do it. Better than deciding to jump out the window.

There seem to be a lot of people on mainstream Scottish Twitter now that just seem like such hard work to follow.  Vonny LeClerc, Janey Godley, Angela Haggerty, Phil McWhateverhisnameis, Chris McQueer.  They tweet hundreds of times a day and most of the time it's inane, self-aggrandising pish.  Their accounts are (or were) wildly popular given the amount of followers they hoover up but I don't see what benefit there is in following them.

Luckily for me 3 of them will probably have blocked me and I've never heard of the other 2.
