Let's blame Boris

I thought it was funny, it popped up on FB this morning, prior to this there was A similar BBC announcement saying that

‘in future all answers to the Covid situation would be forwarded to Karen on FB who seems to be an expert’
obviously alluding to the fact that everyone on FB at the time appeared to know exactly what was needed, despite what the Government was saying.They could have used any name, but they used the name Karen.

So, it has nothing to do with Transwomen,

Chavington references the ‘Chavs‘ also from various FB pages.

So lighten up people, it’s a Joke.

mostly remainers it seems

No ?

Haha love it.

Hey Furret I must have a ‘little mind’
?

Thanks for posting it gave me a chuckle.

God there are some miserable bxxxxxs on here. Mostly Remainers it seems going by the names.

Chavington is an actual place, I was confused on reading this until I read the comments then I realised that Chavington and Karen were derogatory remarks for people who know this government is to blame for the whole sorry mess we find ourselves in. I applaud the Karen’s of this world.

I'm not sure that it is a real place.
There's a Chalvington and a Chevington but I've never heard of a Chavington.

Karens of the world unite - time to reclaim your name!!

Boris has waved his magic wand and it's much cooler here today. Thanks, Boris.

What on earth is unpleasant about it?

Yes it’s not the wittiest, cleverest piece I’ve read but does that matter?

It’s a dig at those like teachers’ unions for example, who expect the government to spell out exactly how they should operate.

The responses have been very enlightening!

I too found it funny. Some people have had a definite sense of humour bypass. This PM (who by the way I DONT always agree with) is the target of so much blame why not the weather. It also pokes fun at the very people some of the other posters have mocked on other threads.
Now I shall retire behind the sofa and await the pearl clutching for daring to criticize.

I found it rather amusing

Reminds me of articles in the Daily Mash

Thanks for posting!

So it seems the name "Karen" is now a pejorative term for some sort of entitled woman of a certain age!

perhaps when this term was coined (transwoman) Karen White was who they had in mind given they insisted being moved to a woman prison, so they could be free to assault a few of the females in there. Pretty entitled I'd say

to ALL the negative respondents......have a laugh why don't you? You might enjoy it! It`s a brilliantly funny post......we hear enough gloom and doom, so lighten up!

Its nothing to do with new posters Jane10. I didn't even notice NewatThis is new!
But were all new posters once.

I just think we should think of people as people whatever their home, education, background and so on.
I hate the use of CHAV because it's demeaning and belittling. Also the use of Karen for similar reasons. It turns people into "the other".

Just very sad.

This is an unpleasant post Newatthis

get over yourself and laugh a little!

brilliant..made me chuckle..thanks

I particularly liked the idea of the ‘cold lives matter’ demonstration!

We get them about everything else so why not?!!

Life isn't very pleasant NotSpaghetti Gransnet is only a reflection of this.
I find po faced responses to new posters unpleasant but there we are!

I did chuckle at this, especially as I had wondered if it was yet another boring ‘blame the government for everything’ rant.

You have just about summed it up Newstthis so thanks for posting this.

You must have been well aware of the response from a predicable few but decided to go ahead anyway!

This is an unpleasant post Newatthis

Uh oh. I laughed. Sorry sorry sorry. Not sorry.

Oh do lighten up Furret

Well...apart from poor Karens getting it in the neck ( like Sharons used to do) and Chavington, it’s actually amusing.
Boris gets blamed ( personally) for everything else, why not a heatwave?! ?

If you can’t work out the answer to your own question then....

Ignore them Newatthis. I hope you're all happy up there on your high horses. Down here, where the people are we like a laugh and, amazingly, we can laugh at ourselves.
Satire is in the eye of the beholder.

I’m not laughing either. It’s clumsy, ungrammatical and falls well short of satire.

However little things amuse little minds.

Newatthis your name says it all. Keep trying and perhaps you can do better next time.

Snobbish, unpleasant and not satirical.
The suggestion that those of us who criticise the way Mr Johnson's government is functioning, can be dismissed as "chavs" is offensive.
So much wrong with that OP
