  1. The Barrenness took great pleasure in flaunting her wealth, in the most public manner imaginable. Several social media pictures and videos of her galavanting on her yacht, which she thought was a, “good idea,” to put out there, made it to the press regularly, right in the middle of this national crisis. Honestly, though I would NOT EVER encourage death threats, I too am utterly unsurprised. Her public image has been cemented. BY HER!

  2. I believe she will seek to settle out of court in the civil case. I do not believe you are being too hard on her though. Far from it! How utterly tone deaf is it, for ANY politician to flaunt their wealth at any time? Let alone at a time when the number of food banks is only growing and the number of children falling below the poverty line is increasing. All as a direct result of Tory policies. She really does cut a Marie Antoinette figure. But, the fact that none of the whips dressed her down for this behaviour, or even explained to her why it would be perceived as trolling the general public, the poorer one is, the more painful their conclusions, says so much about the degenerate state of morality in modern politics. No one intervened. She did it over and over again. WTF did she EXPECT! I’m afraid the Sans-Culottes will be coming for her Capet head. It’s bad enough when people rub their wealth in the faces of the poor and blame them for their own predicament. But to do so as a politician is unacceptable in its lack of decorum. And to do so as a titled (en-titled) privileged politician, the public can only perceive that as a direct threat! The fact that she doesn’t understand this alone, is proof of her unfitness for her position. But, the fact that she swooped in to a national crisis, carpet bag in hand, is truly sickening. “Off with her head,” I say. Metaphorically speaking, of course. But can we not at least empathise with those who have lost loved ones and whom may well have calculated that her actions contributed to the deaths of their nearest and dearest? Can we blame them for wanting to do murder? I at least empathise with them, having lost my father to Covid.
