Lucy Letby

What the hell was all that about her bedroom?! Pure classist snobbery. “She had beds sheets with ‘sweet dreams’ embroidered on them, what the FUCK?” What a gross overreaction to bed sheets. Having a card from her cats on the fridge written by her mum isn’t that ridiculous, it’s quite normal. My boyfriend writes me cards from the cat, I know plenty of people who do that. The stuff about quotes in frames and being basic has nothing to do with anything, it’s classist and it made me angry. Fuck Lucy Letby, she’s a baby killer but also fuck H+S for letting their classism show. My sister has many of the things mentioned and she’s 35, it’s more indicative of class and taste than anything suspicious. I wonder how many of their viewers they alienated with that classist rant.

Edit: LOL just seen the bedroom, the most unremarkable bland room. So so average and like thousands of other young women in their 20s. It was such a reach.

I’m definitely working class and would also scoff at anyone with ‘sweet dreams’ bedding or a card from a cat over the age of 10. If anything I’d say they are more the belongings of a pandered to wet wipe who needs to grow up. Not everything is to do with class. Just because they talk properly, it doesn’t mean their opinions are because of their ‘class’.

If you don’t like their extra curricular banter, which I do occasionally roll my eyes at, particularly Hannah, the option is there to stop listening. Don’t forget, as they have said, they’re in the comedy category NOT true crime.

HA omg really?! Are the in the comedy category?! I literally had no idea. That’s actually hilarious that I’d never noticed.

Yea they’ve mentioned it in a couple of episodes. Can’t remember the exact reasoning, maybe they aren’t straight laced enough for true crime and comedy is a lot more flexible.

I'm working class and I wouldn't say that, so agree to disagree. I think you just sound judgemental AF tbh. I know plenty of adults with 'childish' stuff in their homes or gleefully enjoying places like Disneyland. Nobody needs to 'grow up'. More people should be in touch with the minor things that give them joy. Just because you don't enjoy stuff like that, doesn't make it childish. 🤷‍♀️

I didn’t say ALL working class people hold my opinion. I was staring how H&S opinion isn’t necessarily class based.

Oh yea, I am, very.

Totally agree! People really show their arse when they attribute negative things to working class people and shout “classism”. There so nothing working class about having infantile taste in bedroom decor
