For someone so smart, her political opinions are fkin mental. Her twitter is basically a anti corbyn, pro zionism platform.
That is because she is Jewish.
She criticised Corbyn a good while back on Twitter about his perceived anti semitism. She then got the normal hate filled backlash anyone on social media gets when idiots don't agree with them. Instead of backing down she has decided to go on a media crusade, I only know all this as it was in the media about a year ago.
I thought it was the norm for “celebs” to make political statements these days. Or does it just depend on their viewpoint ?
Yes. You can be rude about trump and Johnson (rightly so) but got help you if you are rude about Corbyn (who should not be above criticism) who has some frankly hysterical support.
Not really been following the story... Twitter is like Pandora's box so hard to figure out any semblance of order from it
Love how someone with blue eyes and blonde hair has literally erased an anti-racist slogan, and the struggle of black people, to centre themselves as the victim of racism. Incredible optics there, really well thought out.

Without wanting to derail this into politics chat even more, nobody has ever backed up the corbyns a racist chat with any kind of facts. So yeah, people can say what they want, but if someone pulls you up on it then at least be able to back up your stance.

My point is, before this gets too political, if you think riley is a racist for this t shirt, then you must concede that corbyn is an anti semite and has been engaging in anti semitic activity for decades.
There's a thread in the politics section about what threat does the left in britain pose to the jewish community.
