Let's blame Boris

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!

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

I found it rather amusing

Reminds me of articles in the Daily Mash

Thanks for posting!

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 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.

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'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.

?

Thanks for posting it gave me a chuckle.

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

Haha love it.

Hey Furret I must have a ‘little mind’
?

mostly remainers it seems

No ?

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.

Just to say it’s not a question of not wanting to laugh... it just wasn’t funny in my view . Unbelievable that people have made this political ?

Definition 'Apology' :

A regretful acknowledgement of an offence or failure.

For anyone missed my second post or doesn't know what the word 'apology' means.

I’m a bear of very little brain so it made me smile Newatthis! I liked the ‘cold lives matter’. Silly nonsense but why not? However, as I was called ‘idiotic’ on a thread a few days ago so I might not be the best judge!
?

Most of us didn't take offence so don't expect or need an apology. I hope you haven't been put off posting.

‘Watch your thoughts - for they become your words - watch your words they will become your actions’

It's not funny and it's badly done. It's unlikely that Karen, who I suppose is meant to be a chav, would use the term "obese" about her kids and does anyone really refer to "weed" anymore? And "Hubby" is so middle class!
I'd recommend watching Vicky Pollard on Little Britain but they have taken that off the air.

I found it quite amusing...look beneath the lines and you can see what she is really saying. Good for her!
Hope you stick around, Newatthis...we need more like you on this site.

My type of humour Newatthis. Made me laugh.

I know what she(he?) is really saying ladymuck but it could be done so much better.

Oh trisher don’t worry so much. It’s just a JOKE.

I do think that humour is badly needed at the moment ?

Thank you for posting newatthis

No apology is necessary ?‍♀️

Absolutely no need to apologise newatthis!

I didn’t realise it was compulsory for everyone to have the same sense of humour ? For example I find Mrs browns boys singularly unfunny but some people love it. Nothing political,about it.

What a lot of pompous hot air some posters write!

So you don't find it funny? OK, don't laugh - no-one is holding a gun to your head and threatening to shoot you.

You think all Karens are being insulted and accused of being Chavs? You must already have associated the name Karen with chavs to think that - perhaps it should have been Lavinia from Belgravia? Would it be Ok to insult all Lavinias? Oh yes, of course it would, because Lavinia is a name we associate with prissy upper middle class women and it is fair game to sneer at them.

"Weed" and "hubby" are oldfashioned and outdated? Does that mattter? Do all jokes have to be snappy and full of up-the minute idioms?

It is political? Yes, of course. Nothing wrong with that. It is already a running joke that the weather has been awful since we decided to leave the EU, or since the government (whichever is in power at any given time) was elected.

Loosen up. We neeed all the laughs we can get.

". . it could be done so much better." Are you really applying literary criticism to a joke?
