what a tweet

UK’s first youth crime commissioner urged to resign and apologises over homophobic tweets - PinkNews.co.uk

100 years ago I imagine a police commissioner was typically a retired army officer, and today there's a 17 year old commissioner.

So can we assume that by the year 2200 they'll be appointing embryos and single cells for the job?

Sounds like a vague catch-all title anyway. I mean what are they supposed to do?

And the fully grown adult that appointed a teenage girl to that post should probably go as well...

Surely there weren't police commissioners, at least not in the sense of the term now, a hundred years ago? They're a new thing: one of the coalition's bright ideas of saving money by adding an additional layer of bureaucracy involving a nice little earner for their chums.

Who in turn seem to be appointing as assistants their chums as well.

Well, she's resigned now. I feel sorry for the kid.

not really, some of the tweets were unpleasant. If it had just been the 'Hash Brownies' I would have been sympathetic but some of the others made me doubt her sanity.

Fire the idiots that hired her as well.

***** the actual story. WTF was a contractor doing reading PinkoNews anyway ??

Is that even allowed ???

Next, they'll tell me there are c**ts on here who vote labour and agree with same sex marriage.

It's a harsh lesson but it was unavoidable. It's hard to hold an official position as Youth Police and Crime Commissioner when you've tweeted about wanting to cut someone.

I'm on cold turkey, SimonMac convinced me I need to cut down on my Dailywail addiction.

Everything else except the Sun is behind a pay wall.
