Woman,s career and social life ruined by one idiotic tweet....only reinforces my hatred of twitter, very few redeeming features to make up for this sort of rubbish, and shows why giving people a global platform to spout their rubbishy stuff and Ill thought out opinions is idiotic...empowerment or just enough rope to hang a lot of people or just spread rubbish IMO

Cos FB largely consists of gurnjng "selfies" and the unshakeable belief that the tawdry minutiae of one's life are endlessly fascinating to others . Oh and the teenage sensibilities .

"Would you like to be my friend?"'


Just saying.

True loz, but some of us only post those pics for the benefit of family living far away


Granted, that still leaves plenty of people just showing off but hey


I've never heard of any snobbery about Facebook v twitter but all I know is I far prefer twitter because I can curate my feed. I found out about that woman's post on here before I did on twitter

And people saying "just saying".


Agree about the selfies and stuff, but some of the shit that I've seen on Twitter makes a teenage selfy look like a well thought out essay.

Twitter is about who you follow. I'm into news, law and politics so don't get much of the personal stuff on twitter.


I get a lot of interesting (to me anyway) information in my twitter feed, whereas for me, Facebook is just to keep in touch with my globally dispersed family and friends.

Politics on Twitter is a joke surely = people tweeting their own political prejudices as far as I can see! not much debate just a propaganda tool for disseminating er propoganda alot of absolute lefty garbage on there most of the time that I can see! but I guess that,s my fault for following the wrong people ; ) Owen, Harri and brand's crap being retweeted around the cognescenti, Isn,t doing much for improving my knowledge or views on anything....just reinforcing my prejudice that it's a place for branding and propoganda not debate.....

If your job is managing communications/branding/customer relations then denigrating anyone is likely to cost you your job because you clearly aren't very good at it, racist or not.


Dave in finance behind me at work might utter similar views, on social media but given he isn't present As a Representative of anyone other than himself I doubt there would be a shitstorm or sacking

Neither do I, but an 'ignorant racist cow' could be someone who said non-threateningly, in the course of a conversation, "Actually, I do believe that some races are superior to others." If there was no evidence that the belief directly affected her work or her relations to others, should she be sacked?


This is why I was very uncomfortable with the "sack BNP members" thing a few years ago, repulsive though I think the BNP's politics are.

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
