Honestly i think youre reading too much into it - i think she meant Karens who aren't experts should get back to more Karen appropriate activities such as facebook groups for residents associations and let the experts do the talking.
Why are you trying to excuse the inexcusable? Hilary could have simply said that she had a problem with people who aren’t qualified to comment on Covid but she didn’t. She went off on one, using very specific, toxic stereotypes about people living in housing estates and with low grades in Junior Cert science as though she’s somehow superior and that cohort of people are clearly beneath her. There’s no justifying that sort of classist nonsense. None
Im not trying to excuse anything and i dont think is inexcusable. Just explaining how i understood it... goes to show how fickle text can be... we both read the exact same words, youre outraged at the perceived snobbery and i think theres nothing in it!
What a deadly reason to have such bias!
No “perceived snobbery” on my behalf thanks so you can spare me the passive aggressive comments. Her remarks were completely condescending, mean and self-righteous. That’s just a fact. Why is she assuming that people talking about Covid must be “fighting in your Done Deal and housing estate Facebook groups” ?
I couldn’t care less what you think and besides, who are you to go policing what anyone says here? If you’re offended by someone being called a snob, you’re in for a shock if you read some of the other threads
Genuinely was no passive agressiveness to my comment. Seriously i dont be coming on tattle to act like that!.
And ignore the fact that she will continue to travel over and back here via Belfast as and when it suits her
)on Claire Byrne boosted her IG following no end. I’m no fan of RTÉ but perhaps the footage shown last night might make more people start to take the lockdown etc more seriously. Anything that convinces more people to stay at home and to cop onto themselves is a good thing right now.
