The Chronicles of Lidia

Thorpe that is.

After this latest effort, I thought she deserved her own thread as I dare say she's going to keep on making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Major "woman who has been banned from every bar in the neighbourhood" vibes.

It’s unclear what they said to set her off, but I think it’s fair to say it doesn’t take much:

There’s a school of progressive thought that criticising activists for being combative equals respectability politics, and is a way of neutralising that activism. But alienating every second person you come into contact with isn’t any kind of politics at all – it’s just public self-immolation. Thank god she’s no longer taking the Greens down with her.

She'll do as good a job of convincing people to vote no as Peter Dutton will to convince people to vote yes.

She's been banned for life from the strip club after the owner viewed the CCTV footage, apparently it seems clear that she was the antagonist in the situation, allegedly firing up at a white bloke who was accompanied by 2 Indigenous blokes, telling the white guy that he was on her (indigenous) land and shouldn't be there.

His initial response apparently was "I'm in Brunswick and I'm just trying to go home so fck off" Laughing

She’s certainly an angry woman.I don’t know what triggered her this time,but you can bet it probably wasn’t much.

It’s hard to play the persecuted black woman unless she creates scenarios to play the persecuted black woman.

She's using persecution to excuse her rampant racism.

She genuinely believes that she can't be a racist.

“It’s sad people are utilising whatever they can to drag me down when we’re trying to discuss important issues in this country,” she said.

Delusional much?

“We’re sick of asking the Government, we’re sick of standing like poor people saying, ‘Can you give us some money? Can you help us?’ We’re sick of it.”

Sick of it? My word.... and we the taxpayers, pay this lunatic 100's of 1000's a year. Wow.
