It looks like the Mail is now on the look out for younger sad faces.

British couple say they were forced to reserve sunbeds by the pool at 1AM after discovering other hotel guests were sneaking to the pool at night to lay towels down

It does quickly become a non-story when they admit that they are still up at 1.am in the morning, so they are not getting up at all.

It looks like she is some kind of influencer. Lots of the tabloids now seem to be using influencer generated copy to pad out their web pages. The Mirror have made lots of journalists redundant yet today they were advertising for people who will essential be searching for stuff on social media and passing it off as news.

Makes depressing sense. Easy copy, photos take care of themselves, search engine optimisation helps get clicks, and older readers have something to tut about.

Not sure this is the right place for this. Normally the Sad Facers are just self-entitled bell ends but this guy appears to be a full-blown CUNT.

Waitrose worker sacked for 'offensive' tweets vows to take wealthy supermarket to court as he slams 'woke' bosses for 'destroying' his life


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... court.html

Textbook SadFacing here. Defiant arm folding, store in background and a million PLU points for the Waitrose apron.
MailOnline previously revealed that the social media posts Mr Woods was being investigated for included a cartoon mocking trans ideology and a meme likening a black umbrella to Shamima Begum.

It appeared that was been enough to see the 41-year-old lose his livelihood after bosses at the supermarket merely sent him an email after more than two decades of service to confirm his dismissal.
Just an email? Why this statement then? It suggests that there were discussions before he was given his cards.
He added: 'An employer shouldn't have the right to counsel you or sack you or discriminate against you just because of your protected beliefs.
Fancy a bit of "died in a war for my rights"? (Not sure on the maths, closer to great grandparents)
He added: 'This is what our grandparents fought in the Second World War for, so we would be able to have freedom of expression
And the grift....
Now he is raising money to support his legal battle against Waitrose with the help of employment lawyer Elliot Hammer
Finally, what were those tweets? The Mail has helpfully shown us what a CUNT this man is. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... -woke.html

Full blown just about nails it. Massive, MASSIVE cunt. I'll bet he's the brand of cunt that will try to deploy the "freeman of the land" "defence" in legal matters.

Definitely not any sort of fit with the John Lewis ethos.

My advice to Waitrose? Sack this massive cunt and we'll see him in court.

There's a lot of that about; things they consider 'theirs', but really aren't. Shakespeare, the late Queen, and the Last Night of the Proms come to mind.

I'm pretty sure that if a teacher or a doctor was posting left wing content on line Ben would be at the front of the queue demanding that they be dismissed from their jobs.

I wonder what Ben's views on anxiety were before he started to allegedly suffer from it himself. I would guess that like most right wing nut jobs he used to claim that anxiety wasn't real and that people with anxiety just need to man up.
