I've been reading her tweets. The woman is just a pure nutter. No remorse no doubt that she was anything other than correct with her article.
I am totally amazed.
She's banned me from her Twitter feed for posting this:I am totally amazed.
@LadyCatHT So, who has the moral high ground now? http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/jobless-fathe... …
The really sad thing here is that the "under Privileged" in the UK really think they have something to complain about. As far as I am concerned everyone in this country is legally entitled to a free education and moving on from there they are then free to choose what they want to do after school, yes further education is not free but there are plenty of ways to finance it and plenty of places where funding can be found regardless of who you are or where you were brought up. I for one received no support financially from my parents, simply because they couldn't afford it so I got the loans studied hard and got a job post university and I have continued to work hard to buy the things I want. I am in my late 20s my student loan is now paid off, I have a house, a flat and a varied selection of cars and vehicles simply because I worked hard at school, university and don't mind having to go away with work.
The under privileged in the middle east and Africa I have sympathy for not the Lazy, uneducated (through choice) delinquents in this country!
If everyone in this country had some level of aspiration we wouldn't have the mess we have, this journalist is a disgrace to the profession!

Are they supposed to be a respectable paper? Honest question, as I have never heard of them before.
It used to be the Glasgow Herald, a quality Scottish broadsheet read by Thatcherite old schoolers like my gran (and mother). Then they dropped the 'Glasgow' and it's being going downhill for years, to the extent they now openly support the SNP/independence.I wouldn't wipe my arse with it.

With all this advert cancelling going on I do wonder how much value you actually derive from them. After all if the advert results in income generation I'm supprised that so many are so quick to start pulling them. You must be in a good position to be able to make such a financial decision over an opinion piece that in reality is best ignored.
People are reconsidering how much use advertising in the newspapers is. The Herald has chosen to employ this woman knowing she sells herself on being an ultra left wing militant feminist and it's chosen to publish this article. Ms Stewart and her cronies are suggesting on Twitter that every person who disagrees with her is a Jeremy Clarkson loving boy racer who hates women. She's trying to say her point is about cars and feminism rather than simply about jealousy and condoning vandalism. I don't know what PHers have been advertising in The Herald and other papers from the group, presumably it consists largely of high performance cars and products relating to them, but if the readership targeted is the anti car Feminazi, I doubt advertising in the papers is worth the money for anybody here.
I remember up until a few years ago my local paper would publish a big motoring section every Friday with pages and pages of dealers listing each individual car they had in stock. There would also be free magazines in the petrol stations, one published by Auto Trader and the other by Exchange and Mart, with pages of dealer adverts. Over time the adverts dwindled away as dealers came to rely mainly on Internet advertising and it wasn't the local paper they chose to advertise with.

Excellent work guys.
On a related note I just noticed on the video that the guy keying that V8 is pushing an £850 pram. Nice work if you can get it......

She and her mates are boohooing over a few comments that are over the top and threatening violence, she's retweeting them to pretend everyone who disagrees with her is that much of a highly strung loon. She wants to paint a picture of all car fanatics being misogynists. I doubt she's so stupid that she didn't expect to get a few comments like that when throwing such a provocative article open to the big wide world of the Internet. She hoped to get them to use them opportunistically to prove her attitude towards car lovers is justified.
As someone else has said, she enjoys the drama of being the victim of all these nasty men. She enjoys retweeting them and having all her fellow feminists being outraged and sending screengrabs to the police. She wants to be the next Caroline Criado-Perez.
If you're opinionated and controversial on the Internet you get the odd nasty, threatening comment. I've had them just for taking individuals to task on their comments. Jeremy Clarkson gets loads of them on Twitter, so it's nothing to do with victimising of young women. If she really doesn't like it I would say that, if she can't stand the heat, she should get out of the kitchen but that would no doubt be very sexist....

This is what people like that do. I don't think those comments are appropriate for the argument at hand, but the people who do think that (and they must, because they're typing them) should at least realise it does nothing but shovel more fuel onto the flames of the self-righteous victim complex that they've got going on in their little echo chamber.robemcdonald said:

In places like India or China the rich don't allow the poor to basically get educated. It stops them from causing disruption and having their own ideas/agendas.
This is a perfect example of why they do that.
What a strange post.This is a perfect example of why they do that.

Cheeky one, but...what industry are you in? I'm looking to change jobs and it sounds quite profitable heh. I work in the Oil and Gas Industry as an engineer doing Subsea Construction, not the best time to join the industry as it is going through a bit of a slump and efficiency drive but in terms of variety of work and the opportunities to travel and meet new people I do think there is much that can beat it. Also working with other engineers means you tend to be surrounded by other car mad individuals! haha

A guy I know got paid a fortune spending twelve months away welding on oil rigs. If you're prepared to make sacrifices, there's money to be made.I work in the Oil and Gas Industry as an engineer doing Subsea Construction, not the best time to join the industry as it is going through a bit of a slump and efficiency drive but in terms of variety of work and the opportunities to travel and meet new people I do think there is much that can beat it.

Yeah you hit the nail on the head, I spent 14 out 16 weeks offshore this summer but was making a fortune, I don't have a wife or kids so for now I am prepared to sacrifice my time at home in the pursuit of a better standard of life / more expendable income, however when my situation changes, I will also change what I am willing to sacrifice.
