The Shot 👇

Jo Dyer writes about the bewildering pile-on following Lidia Thorpe’s loud / lone protest to King Charles.
The establishment claim it was grossly ‘disrespectful’ and didn’t cut through. But it did cut through, because the entire world heard it and reported on it.
So much gaslighting going on here and the double standards relating to the retribution she should face.
Let’s also not ignore the fact she wrote three ‘respectful’ letters to the Monarch prior to his visit requesting a meeting with him - all were ignored.

The truth is; what she did ‘cut through’ big time and she earned a lot of respect for standing on her principles. She made the rest of them look like arse kissing pompous suits with no real honour
