Which sounds a pathetically stupid thing to think, let alone say. A sackable offence for someone whose job puts them in the public eye? Certainly in today's climate. Caused solely or mostly by reaction social media? Probably.
But I would say the same thing about the idea that the left is stifling debate by throwing 'isms' around every time someone states a contrary opinion. Are they really stifling opinion or is it just social media going overboard whenever given the chance?
The latter, I think. So back to Burney's original point, yes social media is a load of c*nt.
