I was appalled at this woman’s tweet regarding HRH Prince Phillip.
Is she nasty or just naive?
Whatever you think about him the D of E scheme has helped and supported so many young people.
I think this is a nasty attention seeking woman who misjudged the mood of the country.
For anyone who missed this here is a link.

From what I’ve read she seems to be a Katie Hopkins style attention seeker who believes bad publicity is better than no publicity.

No different to those drinking outside the palace and saying they were celebrating

EllanVannin Sun 11-Apr-21 19:50:24

The usual attention-seeker---there's a lot of them about. Sad !

Peasblossom Sun 11-Apr-21 19:50:50

Just a nobody who has to be controversial to get attention.

The shame is she’s succeeded

.

If she does a tenth of the good that he’s done in his lifetime then she’ll do well......I won’t hold my breath.

Kamiso Sun 11-Apr-21 19:52:35

Vile person. No doubt she will now become yet another celebrity. Famous for being obnoxious.

Casdon Sun 11-Apr-21 19:56:02

Anybody who says somebody else deserves a painful death is plain nasty surely?

maddyone Sun 11-Apr-21 19:57:44

When I opened the link and saw the headline my stomach turned. What a truly horrible thing to say. I saw about the drinkers outside Buckingham Palace too Annie.
I conclude that by today’s standards I must be easily shocked. What absolutely vile people there are nowadays.

maddyone Sun 11-Apr-21 19:59:28

Perhaps I should have said how vile the behaviour of some people is today!

Yes, I agree. I am not a royalist, but I wouldn't wish a painful death on anyone.

I hadn't heard of Karen Geier, but it doesn't look as though I've missed much.

I’m sure that she will now be trolled by people who are as vile as she is.

Karma?

Cathymac Sun 11-Apr-21 20:46:59

What a vile thing to say .. what a horrible person she seems to be .

LauraNorder Sun 11-Apr-21 21:30:19

Has something gone very badly wrong in our society or have these nasty people always been there without the outlet of social media?

Cathymac Sun 11-Apr-21 22:03:12

There was a saying “ never speak ill of the dead “ ... obviously considered old fashioned now

I would say they’ve always been there but were not able at a click to spread their bile. Social media has changed forever the national discourse

lavenderzen Sun 11-Apr-21 22:30:26

What a horrible individual.

eazybee Sun 11-Apr-21 22:31:38

I am wondering why The Guardian found it necessary to publicise this.

rafichagran Sun 11-Apr-21 22:40:47

Very, Very, Unpleasant. Wishing anyone a painful death is pure evil.

You mean along with the Sun, the Mail? Or the fact that the Guardian quite rightly wanted to put the record straight after the Mail’s usual rubbish?

Casdon Sun 11-Apr-21 22:45:50

easybee it was because on her profile she claimed she was a Guardian writer which wasn’t true.

Blossoming Sun 11-Apr-21 22:46:17

That is just awful!

suziewoozie Sun 11-Apr-21 22:48:45

For the avoidance of doubt KG had one article published in the Guardian 5 years ago. This does not make her a Guardian journalist no matter what any link says. Otoh vile Katie Hopkins had a regular column in the Mail for ages

The ops link repeated the same rubbish

Casdon Sun 11-Apr-21 22:51:38

I know, it’s frustrating.
