Half Cut Barber

Frances Barber (ask your parents) had another of her notorious twitter meltdowns last night. What set her off on her alcohol fuelled keyboard warrior binge? Well, firstly it was London's stance on Uber, then it was the terrorist attack on London Bridge. Naturally, for someone like Barber, all roads lead to Jeremy Corbyn and the stage was set for another of her disturbing nonsensical rants.

Her feed was immediately beset with advice. Go to bed, stop drinking and seek help seemed to be the thrust of this, but Barber is not one to accept the kindness of strangers and it wasn't long before she claimed that they were all being personally sent by Aaron Bastani, or 'Asshole Bastardi' as she preferred to call him. 

Frances Barber needs help, but I fear she is beyond it. Her social media appears a litany of hatred and bile. Anti-Islamic, anti-Labour, anti-Scottish independance, transphobic and Pro-Zionist. She sees conspiracy theories everywhere, borne of an unhealthy fixation with Jeremy Corbyn. This is a woman who claimed that she personally knew the old Labour activist and Black British woman by the name of Margaret Cutting from Liverpool; that she was an inspiration to her when she too was a member of the Party in the early '80s. Except Cutting was conclusively proven to not exist. During the previous terrorist attack on London Bridge, Barber responded to a tweet from a Muslim who was reminding everyone that real Muslims are not terrorists with the words "Then please stop killing us". For further examples of disgust Ms Barber has for all things Muslim, look at the time she mistook Brighton Pavilion for a mosque or her contretemps with a cab driver of the Islamic faith. For Barber, it's a them and us society and the Muslim community are firmly in the 'them' camp to be treated with contempt and suspicion. This is basically racism, something Barber claims to deplore as she accuses Jeremy Corbyn and Labour of being guilty of it.

Barber isn't actually Jewish herself which poses a problem for one tweet she posted last night in which she used a blatant anti-semitic trope. 

She immediately claimed she was being ironic. But this really doesn't stand up too well at all. Thankfully more people realise that she is clearly deranged then those who stand by her (the usual clique of Corbyn haters; Silly Rachel Riley, Eddie Marsan, Tracy Ann Oberman etc) as evinced on Wikipedia during her meltdown last night.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
