This is part of our occasional series documenting the standard of debate on social media.
On 5 June, the Labour MP Emily Thornberry – chair of the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee – took to social media with exciting news for her many admirers:
Here’s how her announcement was greeted on X – as ever, these are all to be read as [sic]:
Curating them? How do you curate a set of bells?
“curating a set” Embarrassing
Those bells are symbolic in regards being a true cockney.
Hell’s bells meet Lady Nujee.
Do you know any LGB people or have you just imagined what we are like from 1980s sitcoms?
You do know most gays are not flamboyant, camp, pop star loving queens don’t you? This is so regressive
What???? No YMCA or it’s raining men.
No village peoples YMCA ?
No Barbra? Disappointing. A straight woman holding back on us with some of our tired stereotypes.
Could you patronise and stereotype us any more?
Could you manage any more outdated stereotypes of gay men?
Patronising or what?
Any other regressive gay stereotypes you’d like to bring to the table tonight Ms. Thornberry? I think you have ‘they’re all limp wristed, effeminate mincers’ covered already. Never mind, there’ll be damn few gay men or lesbians in attendance because we’ve avoided Pride ever since it was taken over by transvestites, blue haired straight ‘queers’ and insufferably ‘virtuous’ homophobes like you.
I’m so relieved that I, as a lesbian, no longer have to worry about men threatening to beat up or SA me and my wife, because Emily Thornberry is going to play some pop music with bells! You have no clue what Pride is truly about!
Transvestite privileges can get in the bin. Stop fighting against women and LGB people you hateful woman.
Emily can women have penises?
Does that include putting male prisoners into women’s prisons?
Whilst you are here, do you have a view on school girls being given period toilets so that boys can be provided with unisex toilets? Recent case of discrimination in a Scottish school. Girls told to be kind so they can be mocked for being “on the rag”
Dear Emily,l am in a meeting tonight. Please record it for us. I LOVE the Pink Cafe. X
Sounds fabulous! Please get your colleagues to sign the EDM
Nothing wrong with that. Have a good time. As long as it isn’t supporting people who support an apartheid, mass murdering State that supports blocking of food, water, electricity, medicines and baby food and supports killing of children by shooting them in the head, chest,testcl
What makes people who support Israel as the only Jewish State that is apartheid and discriminatory feel that equality should apply to them, but not others. Pointing out hypocrisy
Nice to see you’ve got your finger on the pulse of the nation Emily.
Are you the new Dr Who and we’ve gone back to the last century?
This could be a scene out of Rivals, Lady of the house announcement after the Polo match
I’m sure all your middle class cringe pals will just love that.
Nothing worse than middle aged champagne socialists trying to ‘get down with the yoof’.
Kids are dying on the streets but never mind I’m doing a “mince -a – long” tonight. You absolute chancer
Emily please we are dying like dogs in the street FUCK YOUR FUCKING PRIDE MONTH.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING US
Sounds shit
I see the mental breakdown’s going well, Emily.
Have you consulted the local mosque?
Keep the Church out of celebrations of unrepented sin.
Sacrilegious and disgraceful.
What is there to celebrate exactly ? Confused
Why is it Pride Month, Black History Month…..why do the rest of us have to be subjected to this … a week should be more than enough
Enough is enough with these Marxist flags
what do you want-a fucking medal?
Why are you gay ? More waste of taxpayers money
Emily…….you’re too old to be this silly.
At least it will keep you out of the subsidised bar for a bit.
You’ll be pissed up by then
Don’t hammer the buffet Em
Try not to eat everything!!
Tacky.
You’re an embarrassment
You are borderline irrelevant
Feckin clown
patronising bint.
So fucking Retarded!
fuck off
Woke shit grow up
Obscene woman. Just do your job.
Virtue-singalling prat
There’s fat chain-smoking Emily.
You wonder why nobody take you lot seriously. Especially you, you fat retarded skank
Why are politicians so obsessed with pride? All it does is enforce division
