    Had to google Laura Whitmore, or is that Laura Witless?

    Anyway, classic twitter storm of non entities bitching.

    They don't do depth on such things. It's pretty much a veneer of 'girl power!'. She messed up by tweeting about Hume right after what is essentially a promo for the BA. I'd say there was a check list of things to do on social media that day and unfortunately one came after the other. 'Promote new podcast', 'say #soz frowny face for Hume'.

    Judging by the tweets in that article, I think that podcast could give me ear cancer

    Did you?



    I think the fact that it seems to be part of a BA recruitment drive and that hashtags to do with recruitment were present with her tweets has people annoyed. Also the fact she is Tweeting about Hume who was the victim of BA violence and at the same time promoting that same army.

    Just passing through to signal my utter outrage at this story. I’m struggling to breathe here. Surely 2020 can’t get any worse.

    Try relax. It's a discussion/chat forum not the inquisition.

    Outrageous, I am truly in shock, I have been hyperventilating now for over 5 minutes. They should really tear down a few statues over that one. What a cheeky liddle minx?

    I prefer the sandy shade of camouflage myself, far sexier.

    Great to see that Lisa Hughes is keeping everyone updated all the same. I don't know what I would have done with my Wednesday otherwise. Thanks Lisa , we all need to be kept in the loop sometimes, you're a bleedin lifesaver so you are, quality journalism again.

    Sure didn't Lotti Ryan do a promo for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a few years back?

    I'm sure he never imagined the level of knicker twisting over a girl and a podcast .


    Imagine the many Irish lads and ladies who are currently serving in the BA laughing at the idea of Laura whitmore being the poster girl for BA recruitment drive

    If this looked like me trying to recruit people to the army that is not the case at all

    Place these so called celebs on a pedestal and this is what you are going to get.
    How so many of the masses look up to these people telling them what to wear, who to like, what music to listen to, what to think.

    Independent thought is declining by the day.

    She's some eejit. A very good looking wealthy eejit, but still an eejit.

    Kerching! Whitmore took the queen's shilling a long time ago. Why doesn't she just stop claiming to be Irish and go the whole hog? They can keep the talentless bint.
