There is nothing new here, for we have seen it all before.
Like many an internet troll, Jordan Thorne is nothing if not grimly predictable.
The 34-year-old keyboard warrior from Cardiff primarily uses Twitter to pass comment on two topics: football (he supports Liverpool) and politics.
The latter subject sees him at his most hostile.
On a regular basis, Thorne mounts aggressive and at times obscene attacks on politicians and commentators who have the temerity to express views at odds with his own. ‘I f*****g loathe the Tories,’ reads one typical tweet; ‘F*** the Tories’ reads another.
Earlier this month, Thorne decided to mark the anniversary of Lady Thatcher’s death by sharing images bearing the slogan ‘burn in hell’, ‘rot in hell’ and ‘Rejoice, Thatcher is dead’.
He sounds charming. And still all the Thatcher nonsense after three decades. Margaret Thatcher left office when this idiot was too young to be aware of her. Like many leftists, she is living in his head rent free, which makes me smile. The hate that dwells in his heart is something to be seen.
I am not outraged by the fact that he takes government money as a part of his business – it’s pretty predictable. I oppose such expenditure as a matter of principle, but having noted that, the inevitable outsourcing of such work to these bottom feeders is to be expected. Neither am I upset that he is now plastered over the Daily Mail for his behaviour. One is the consequence of the other and I’m pretty indifferent. If his business suffers because of this, well, meh. By his words shall ye know him.
However, if you have got this far without clicking on the link, I ask you to close your eyes and conjure a mental picture of this toxic little creep, then take a look. Is he what you imagined? Because he is exactly what I thought. They all seem to look the same – little far left clones who all sport exactly the same image. Just saying…
Oh, yeah, I shall continue to refer to the Brecon Beacons as the Brecon Beacons.
This wanker hates Thatcher, but (as you point out) for crying out loud, he would have been only a year or two old when she left office. She left office a third of a century ago!
“The Brecon Beacons National Park is changing its name as a direct response to the climate and ecological crisis, the park’s chief executive has said.”
There is no fucking ‘climate and ecological crisis’. The climate has always changed and it always will. The Earth will not become uninhabitable within the next 50 years or even by the end of this century. Unfortunately, as far as all the ‘net zero’ bollocks is concerned, we’re fucked, as all the major political parties in this country are all on board for ‘net zero’. Banning petrol vehicles. Banning gas boilers and replacing them with heat pumps. Ceasing the use of oil and all its by-products. Those are the kinds of things we have to look forward to, and we’re all going to be worse off as a result.
Oh, and make sure you also continue to refer to Snowdon and Snowdonia. I believe they were also officially renamed a year or two ago. Buggered if I know what the ‘official’ Welsh names are. Welsh names are mostly unpronounceable to English-speaking people.
I am bemused by the fact that these types hate the Tories even when they are no longer Tories. I hate them because they have turned into left wing clones of Labour. As for Thatcher, she dragged this country back from the brink of bankruptcy. I’m pretty sure that all of her detractors would now be far worse off had she not come to power. The issue of coal mines is also a nice source of cognitive dissonance for the left. Firstly labour governments closed mines too but that never gets mentioned. Secondly, isn’t coal supposed to be evil now?
I like the fact that the Welsh word for microwave oven is poppitty-ping. I don’t know if I’ve spelled that right I’ve never seen it written down.
Yes, poppity ping is used for microwave. I think the official word is meicrodon.
I thought he had something to do with France.
In another place, at another time, he might have been a football hooligan. Unthinking support for his ‘team’ whatever the outcome on the pitch.
I find it amusing that he thinks ‘Tories’ are crying over it. While some have rightly complied about the lack of consultation with local businesses, which is to be expected with these obsessives, I suspect for the most part, people will carry on as before and ignore the name change. His comment says more about him than those he despises.
The Beacon Beacons renaming because of climate change thing would be a little more credible if the new Welsh name didn’t translate to….. Brecon Beacons!
Well, he sounds a lot tougher than he looks. Reminds me of the Mike Tyson remark.
The Brecon Beacons aren’t “changing their name”. I have it on good authority that they don’t give themselves a name, they just lie there and wait for humans to net zero themselves into extinction, fuck off and and leave them in peace.
What problem is the name change the solution to?
Has anyone estimated how much “global warming” will be avoided by changing the name?
