Yorkshire Tea has urged people to ‘be kind’ after it faced a furious backlash online – when Chancellor Rishi Sunak posed with a bag of the firm’s teabags ahead of the budget.
The firm came under fire from left-wing Twitter trolls after Mr Sunak posted an image of himself with a 1,040-bag pack of teabags on Friday afternoon with the comment, ‘Nothing like a good Yorkshire brew’.
It prompted a series of angry messages from Twitter users saying they were going to boycott the brand – simply because someone they did not like was drinking it.
Bear in mind that Yorkshire Tea had nothing to do with the photograph and have not endorsed the Conservative Party. But little things like that don’t bother the brain-dead mongs on Twitter; they are going to call for a boycott anyway.
This behaviour – the moronic imbeciles rushing in a mob to destroy those who do not believe as they do – is not new. Tales of the London mob date back to the seventeenth century at least. A pamphlet full of fake news – such as, for example, the catholic king’s newborn being a changeling smuggled into the royal bedchamber via a warming pan – becomes truth and the mob is sufficiently outraged that the king, queen and newborn prince are forced to abdicate and flee for their lives.
So, Twitter isn’t a new phenomenon, it is merely the latest incarnation of all that is awful about humanity. Moral outrage combined with the hard-of-thinking is a potent brew that would leave Yorkshire Tea gasping to compete.
Just as Yorkshire Tea have been on the defensive, I notice that Laurence Fox has given up the unequal fight and called it a day on the platform.
Actor Laurence Fox has quit Twitter just weeks after becoming embroiled in a furious row over ‘white male privilege’ on the BBC‘s Question Time.
In a lengthy thread posted today, Fox, 41, revealed that he had become ‘more and more depressed’ following a ferocious left-wing Twitter backlash.
He also said that he feared for his future and his ‘ability to provide financially’ for his children, despite stressing the need to ‘stand up to bullies’.
Sometimes you just have to call it quits and leave. Twitter is poisonous beyond belief. It has encapsulated all that is nasty and vile about the state of human nature. And if you are a leftist SJW hounding Yorkshire Tea or Laurence Fox, you will get away with what is clearly bullying. Say something a bit fruity about Islam or the “trans community,” however, then the thought police will come knocking.
That whirring sound you can hear is Eric Blair spinning in his grave.
Yes Twatter is definitely the home for morons. Twatter and Farcebook are best ignored in my opinion.
This is stupidity on a whole new level. I find it hard to believe that there really are people out there who are so completely and utterly mindless. I’m also left wondering why this stuff is considered to be news.
I find myself wondering if it will ever peak, but each day brings ever more utter insanity from these people.
Yes, one might also have a little fun by planting a Tweet suggesting that something the lefty twatter mobs profess to love is liked by one of their favourite hate figures. Then sit back and watch the heads implode.
Yes I’m evil. It’s a hobby.
I don’t do Twitter myself, but if someone who follows LR does, I would appreciate it if they sent a faux tweet expressing outrage that Boris, Nigel, Priti & others were breathing the air above the UK. Then the woke/SJW/Twatters could boycott oxygen.
It’s a long shot, but we can hope.
If the election showed one thing, surely it was that twatter/facefuck/social meeja are an irrelevant echo chamber for liquid nitrogen IQ left wing morons.
Just look at Labour’s “we won the argument” delusion, based, largely it would appear on twatter comments.
The sensible thing for Yorkshire tea or anybody else, corporate or private, would be to simply ignore the whole degenerate monkey house of soshal Meeks completely. I do (must be an age thing)
On Farcebook I pointed out that the only certainty of the night was that on FB A Labour/ SNP/ Green coalition would secure a 651 seat majority and the News Feeds would be filled with ‘but everyone i know voted Labour/ Green’ – and it came to pass
Yorkshire Tea should declare a boycott on sales to Leftwinghers as their product is too strong for their SJW Woke taste buds. The Leftwhingers, angry at being banned from buying this product, will deliberately go out and buy some in a “Yah, Boo, Sucks” campaign against Yorkshire Tea. Fortunately, Leftwhinghers don’t understand irony.
Send the lefties this picture of Boris drinking water
