This is a health and wellness blog and I rarely venture into current affairs except to express compassion for the victims of terror attacks or homelessness etc. However, I have to comment on this tweet posted by an American man to justify Americans carrying guns: he actually tweeted that England has a terror attack every hour! As some wag replied: We don’t even get a bus every hour! Now, instead of being trolled or inundated with expressions of outrage, the replies to his statement are actually hilarious and get funnier as the thread goes on. As well as feeling proud of my fellow Brits, I get a smug satisfaction in knowing that this guy’s feed will be clogged to the gunnels with these replies. Please read if you can, it will make your day and make you proud to be one of the many who don’t share his viewpoint.
My justification for posting this is that it will make you feel better knowing that there are people in the world with a sense of humour and humanity, and laughter is good for you.
Update:
The man in question has since deleted his tweet but here are a few screenshots of some of the replies to give you a flavour, the tea and terrier ones went on for quite some time. Having later looked at his own feed, I wouldn’t recommend it, it’s really disgusting and not worth the negative energy.

Humour wins every time doesn’t it?

Hi Laurel, sorry, he deleted his tweet as soon as I blogged it but I’ve now put some screenshots of some of the responses in the post, it’s not as funny when you can’t see the whole thread but they give you a flavour.

I’ll check it out. I think we could all use some giggles right about now. Sigh.

Ok but don’t look at his feed, you will just get angry and disgusted and waste a lot of energy shouting at your screen!

Actually, although nothing happened when I clicked the link in your post, I found him on Twitter and it’s still there, along with all the replies. Some of them are priceless!

I’ve included some screen shots now, but it’s a shame you can’t read the whole thread as it occurred, I nearly spluttered my tea!

I jumped the gun with my first comment, but as I said in this one his tweet and the replies are still there if you go to his Twitter feed. Some of the replies are brilliant. I also liked the way he put up another saying ‘go to bed, Britain.’ It appears he enjoys insulting people but I think he’d met his match this time!

Oh, I clicked on the one someone else retweeted and it said his was no longer available

Actually, having looked at his own feed I wouldn’t recommend anyone checking it out because it is disgusting and he obviously doesn’t have 2 brain cells. Not worth the negative energy.👎🏻

That was my view too. He’s one of those who delights in trolling people and being offensive. I won’t be following him 😉

It was clearly all too much for him – he’s deleted the tweet! Good to see that the stereotype of the ignorant redneck still holds true though, and I wish I could have seen the responses!

I’m sorry about that, he must have done as soon as I posted because it worked then. I had to go out straightaway so didn’t notice. People were making puns on tea-orism and terrier-ism, it was so funny.
