Sick. Vulgar. Horrifying. Dehumanising. Abysmal. Repulsive. Stomach-churning. Obscene. Godawful. Disgusting. Gross. Unbelievable. Unprecedented. Vile. Obnoxious. Deplorable. Rotten. Contemptible. Base.

We’re sharks baying for blood this Saturday, and the feral tone of wrath will make you sit up straight and fix your slouch.

Whose blood are we baying for?

You know... theirs.

They need to be called out. They need to be told how loathsome their actions have been. They need to be told so, by one and all. Only when this cycle is in motion, shall justice be served.

The ones who shocked all of us this morning.

The ones who need to be told off.

The ones who make you very, very angry...

Disturbing, Sad, Sickening...

Wait for It...

Okay, we’ve got to end somewhere. So, here’s the deal.

Turns out, today was just another day on Twitter.

All we had to do, on this fine Saturday, was click through some thirty or forty tweets, only to be led to... nothingness.

Twitter, you are a gift that keeps on giving.
