For the love of ****ing God, for the last time, her keeping/losing the job is the secondary issue here. My problem is with this paper thinking it is acceptable to plaster one of her Twitter photos on the front page of a national newspaper in a blatant attempt to mock her and make everyone go 'hahahaha look at the ugly bitch taking a photo in the mirror!', that is disgusting. What was wrong with a photo of her taken by the press that's being used everywhere else?

Yeah I'm not condoning the tweets but I do feel they may also have been taken out of context slightly. Using the term '********t', whilst not exactly acceptable, isn't always used as a direct gay slur...it can and is also used as a general insult. No, that doesn't make it right but there is the possibility here that the word was used in a general context and this paper have tried to make out she was being homophobic. There's nothing right about younger generations using these kind of words as insults but that isn't the fault of this girl - it's similar to people using 'gay' to describe something as bad...a lot of gay people use the same term, it's not right but does that make them homophobic?

I'm not going to say it again. My problem is that a national newspaper is trying to publicly humiliate and vilify a 17 year old girl until she breaks down. That cannot be justified. In fact what's happening here could have very damaging consequences to this girl. This is the same paper that inadvertently led a transgender woman to take her own life, and I don't think this paper will be satisfied until the same thing happens to this girl. Maybe then it'll have some ****ing decorum.
