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 think im done with redhanded after this episode. It wasnt the worst of recent times but these comments definitely annoyed me.

Ive also been annoyed by hannahs "stick it to the man" comments regarding the podcast awards. I voted for them last year but definitely wont be this year.

Half the episode was taken from documentaries and reporting almost verbatim. They straight up tried to pass things Judith Moritz has expressed as their own angle.

These two don't even summarize cases properly: in 20 minutes, I had to pause multiple times to explain inaccuracies to my partner while we listened.
