Isnt there a slight difference between the chief political reporter of a national broadcasting corporation and a random girl who had a selfie took with Corbyn?

Yeah. One"s a cruelly victimised woman and the other is a bastard anti-Semite. Obviously.

Scrolling through 8 year old copies of the Spectator, that’s ok though?  This ‘trawling’ is a funny word.

I couldn't possibly say as I'm not really sure who or what you're on about.

And therefore comparable to a tweet from a school girl?

Twitter has what, a few billion members.  Not sure what the circulation figures are for the Spectator but I’m sure it’s less than a billion.  Maybe even less than half a billion.

So your average school girl has a few billion twitter followers?

Sutely if you do an opinion piece in the spectator, your words are out there to be debated and are not comparable to a pic a girl put on Twitter when she was still at school?

I don’t think you’re getting this.  She posted it on Twitter. That made it available to everyone with a Twitter account.  
 

Ive already said she shouldn’t be condemned for what she wrote as a kid. But she was happy with it at the time.  Would you be rushing to her defence if she’d said ‘Pa**’.  I think not.

When you saying 'rushing to the defence 'do you mean asking why historic tweets of a  school girl are being compared to the political opinions of laura kunsberg ,because she took a selfie with Corbyn?

Well yeah I guess so.

Did she say the 'p word?

Or even hint at it?

Look, I can’t understand this for you. It’s beyond me.

I doubt anyone would rush to her defence if she'd used the Y-word either.

 

Given that you agree that a schoolkid's tweet shouldn't define the adult, don't you think it's a bit off that someone went to the trouble of searching for something - anything - they thought would cast her in a bad light?

How old was Kurtz when he was writing for The Spectator? Fourteen? Fifteen?

That shit shouldn't be held against him.

I was more referring to the difference in the application of the word ‘trawling’.

Trawling - that conjures up hours of research, emptying her bins or hacking her email. Rather than just say, typing a word into a search bar.  She posted it on a public platform. She wanted it to be seen.  

FWIW, I've never bothered finding a Twitter search function that lets you search one person's account for a specific word, because... well, why would I?

I always marvel at Stronts's search skills. It would be impressive, if it weren't the hallmark of a troubled mind.

It’s hard not to get distracted. I was looking for something earlier and ended up repping posts in an old LFD flounce thread.

It’s a good job I’m an honest actor. This could have been pounced on.

I'm confused. What is there to pounce on?

 

I used a word that seemed appropriate for the act of searching through about 8 years of someone's tweets to try to find something that could be portrayed as in some way incriminating. "Trawl" seemed a suitable word (given that I was unaware of some fancy-arse search function, to make the process a bit less "trawly".) I'm still not sure I understand why the word triggers you.

Personally I think we should leave the hauling people over the coals for stuff they did when they were 12 to cloggypop.
