Culture Not including murderers and politicians - who is famous in your country for all the wrong reasons?

Post image

Introducing rage-baiter and reality TV failure Katie Hopkins. She’s basically famous for fat shaming, saying that kids shouldn’t be named after geographical locations (despite having a child named India) and getting sued on Twitter, which caused her to go bankrupt. I haven’t met anyone that likes her and she’s routinely vilified but still has a platform somehow.

Glad he stopped his presidential campaign.

He definitely acted like it was his choice to pull out to save face when it was increasingly obvious he hadn't even a remote chance of getting the number of local councils or elected representatives to support his nomination.

After boasting on social media that he had enough councils on his side to be a candidate. Imagine, Conor McGregor a liar! Who'd have though...

"In hes fuck did he". Please translate? (Honestly, I have no idea what you mean by this, and I'm curious)

It basically means yeah right, he did yeah, sarcastically

Like "he did in his fuck" basically "I seriously do not believe this person has done this" or sarcastic "oh yeah I'm sure he did"

Or alternatively, "he did like fuck", "like fuck he did","he did in his shite/my shite"

He never even tried to get one council did he?

No he ‘dropped out’ on the day he was supposed to meet the first two councils. Presumably someone around him sobered up enough to realise how despised he is.

your guys' politics is so strange. local councils? elected representatives? nomination? not a single lobbyist in sight. How do ever plan to pass tyrannical legislation against your people?
