Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight. Red sky in the morning, it looks like we’re going to be engulfed in lava that’s boiling.

@sallyannemartyn @ScarredForLife2 Yep, I remember them!

@ScarredForLife2 I have spent my adult life trying to find other people that remember these ‘accident waiting to happen’ shoes….anyone? youtu.be/hITRS0AN_0E

@IrritableChris @GeorgWestington @Otto_English And why would the Telegraph be wilfully inciting hatred of its own readership? More likely it was concocted for the exact opposite reason and the upper class twit hack accidentally strayed into the realms of parody and the story slipped through on a bank holiday weekend.

The images for the family are shutterstock photos. There are no records of this family anywhere and the telegraph pulled it when it was outed as completely fabricated. The reason for it being fabricated and published in the first place? Likely to do what it's done, reignite the class war and hatred for the "rich", paint anyone like private school parents as a pariah, and provide general rage bait for people who thrive on posting hate and spite toward people who just make a different choice when doing what they feelnis best for their children.

Beyond actual parody.

@GeorgWestington @IrritableChris @Otto_English I read it on their site this morning, they appear to have taken it down, here is an archived version archive.ph/RqFix

@cathrynfraser @IrritableChris @Otto_English wasn't there when I searched. I'm sure you'll be happy to provide a link

@IrritableChris @Otto_English Where was it ‘proven’ to be a fake story? It was on the Telegraph’s own website.

@Otto_English Proven to be a fake story, yet those who are posting it still don't apologise or delete.

@GeauxGabrielle There was a similar case in Ireland in 2014 before they legalised abortion. By the time the courts had decided that life support could by switched off, the poor woman had multiple infections and her brain had started to rot.

@heatherjochens I mean, he’s not even as good looking as the actual young Stalin.

I don’t know if I’m ready for the amount of people who will thirst after a young Josef Stalin…

@MaeveHalpinCoun @GeauxSeeTheLady I remember this, it was the first thing I thought of when I heard this story. The detail that’s always stuck with me is that, by the time it was decided that they could do the right thing and switch off life support, the poor woman’s brain had started to rot. It’s horrifying.

@GeauxSeeTheLady We had our own version of this horror story here in Ireland channel4.com/news/clinicall…

georgia is keeping a brain dead woman alive without giving her family’s say-so because she’s pregnant. they’re effectively using her corpse as an incubator because she was 9 WEEKS pregnant when they put her on a ventilator.

There's an historian on this episode of #FlogIt that looks more like David Tennant than David Tennant.

@JessicaValenti @11AliveNews This is horrifying! There was a similar case in Ireland in 2014 before they legalised abortion, by the time the courts had decided that life support could be switched off, her brain had started to rot. irishtimes.com/news/crime-and…

A brain dead woman in Georgia is being kept 'alive' against her family's wishes because of the state's abortion ban. They don't see us as human beings. Clip via @11AliveNews

@AdrianEdmondson Did you pinch that suit from Carter Burke?

@speakoutsister @shadowspinner She might as well have got that, there’s not much difference, one’s about a guy called Christian getting BDSM, the other’s about a guy who is a Christian getting BDSM.

@shadowspinner People donate all kinds of things but they usually ditch stuff they can't sell - like Fifty shades of grey

Have you tried a bookshop Madam?

@SeanBrodrick @PulpLibrarian They are one and the same. It was published in the US as ‘No Blade of Grass’, it’s also the title of the film adaptation.

@PulpLibrarian Does this have a similar plot to the book “No Blade of Grass”?

The Death Of Grass, by John Christopher. Sphere Books, 1979.

@2hrTV I hate Magnum ads with a vengeance! It puts me off them for fear of breaking a tooth.

Please food ad makers stop adding OTT eating noises to your ads. Magnum are the worst. But there's a Just Eat ad of a boy eating a corn on the cob and they've added a ridiculous munch sound that doesn't even happen when you eat a corn on the cob

@Dilapidatedjugs @EugeneMorr93535 @BBCNews That’s maybe one aspect, but when a woman is considered for a job, her prospective plans for having children will be taken into account, whether consciously or not, in a way that would never happen for a man.
