I’m Briish and I was absolutely baffled by this comment as well.

Skins was pretty great, but I hated the increasing focus on Effie. I knew girls like that, who would silent and rude to cultivate an aura of mystery. They always turned out to be a) kind of stupid and b) quasi-sociopathic. I hated that Skins wanted me to unquestoningly think she was cool when they did such a good job…

This is what happens when you stop queerbaiting and it is glorious.

People who are very thin and have drinking problems/ are generally hot messes.

How fucking WASPy do you have to be to cart around a pet animal that is haram/ treif for a big portion of many urban populations?

Hey, just wanted to say well done for trying. I have no idea how difficult it is to have kids, but I know I was probably an absolute nightmare for my parents when I was a depressed teenager.

You can dwell in London and not be a Londoner.

They are so overdone. They are neither ladies, nor, I’m willing to hazard, actual Londoners.

What about privacy in my uterus?

Please can you cover the misshegoss going on in Britain right now where our leading left wing party (Labour) is full of anti-semites and issued a whitewash of a report on their own anti-semitism while our right wing (the Conservatives) is decrying them but also simultaneously using “citizen of nowhere” rhetoric? We’ve…

For a minute I was going to report you, then I remembered you’re one of the other Jewish commenters on here.
