MetroUK have deleted their twitter account after the Doctor Who Backlash

posted 193 days ago by QLFOU 193 days ago by QLFOU +82 / -0

Metro put out an article with the racist headline "Sorry straight white men, Doctor Who was never made for you". Shockingly, this didn't go over well with the fans, and the backlash was so severe it appears Metro has ended up deleting their entire Twitter/X account in response. https://twitter.com/MetroUK

And the writer of that article protected her account.

Ifthikar means she’s a Paki, if anyone is curious…

Old wealthy Northern Paki (Islamabad region) surname. With military connections.

I used to know one very well.

Strange guy.
