Kellie Harrington. Was she hung out to dry or did she hang herself out to dry?

Did you listen to it at all? She wasn't badgered, wasn't harangued, wasn't criticised by the interviewer, just given the opportunity to comment on her tweet. It seems those who need a healing period or those who can't countenance someone in the public eye being asked about something they choose to bring into discussion in a public forum. The "world caving in" appears to be around people getting triggered by other people being asked to talk to views that they expressed.

Just saying "be like Elsa and let it go" is a much better approach eh?

And the rest of you post strikes me as inverse snobbery at actually being able to express yourself. Monaghan of course being where the elite reside in their ivory towers.

If you compare

a sportswoman whose forte is her sport, not criminology, politics or immigration policy, who retweeted a post about a particularly horrifying crime and quickly deleted the retweet when she was made aware of the background of the original tweeter

and

a third level educated, articulate journalist whose abilities wold include careful use of words, communication, investigation, analysis, understanding and illuminating potentially complex issues; posting in his own words, what could be construed as hate speach - distasteful and insulting at a minimum, availble to view online for years, only attempting to clean it up when it appears it might come back to embarrass him, misleading the public about his age when the posts in question were made....

I know who I'd have more questions to ask.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Cop yourself on

Ok, so you have chosen the "i wont cop myself on" path

Third level vocablary?

“I know you’ve had a number of interactions on social media that have suggested you have strongly held views on immigration,”

Really complex vocabulary isn't it!

Kelly Harrington has shown herself to be thoughtful, smart and measured in media appearances over a number of years, so its actual snobbery on your behalf to suggest, due to her background, that she wouldn't be able to offer an answer to the above question.

And again, all she needed to say was she "immediately reacted to an emotive story but on reflection decided to delete the tweet as it did not represent her views, next question"

Come on ffs.

I just think it is wrong to beat people because of their sexuality. Some people disagree with that, vehemently so in some cases.

In my previous post I said how I was giving Shane Hannon the benefit of presuming that his change in views was genuine and not just as a result of publicity, as many less trusting people have said.

It is just basic common sense that people from the LGBT would take additional precautions around people who have advocated violence in the past.

Did you see the article 'Time has come for Kellie Harrington to get off the fence and tell us what she truly thinks about immigration' by Ellen Coyne

Ridiculous carry on

Is she?…🥴

You don't have to be pretty far right to like a tweet, she could be anywhere on the right wing side. Probably doesn't have a consistent position on these things at all.

Is she anti immigrant though?

Maybe she just doesn't think the government's current policy, such as it is, is working

She doesn’t need to clarify anything. She should just take note of those trying to make out she is a Nazi so she knows who not to trust in the future.

Who is making out she is a Nazi? You've introduced the word to the conversation.

Any Irish person quoting or liking GB **** news should be ridiculed.

It discredits your opinions imo. The level of stupidity/irony to it is off the scale.
