A columnist for the UK's Sunday Telegraph was fired for a racist tweet she posted just after the birth announcement of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle's second baby, daughter Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.

Julie Burchill, the columnist in question, posted Harry and Meghan should have named their baby "Georgina Floydina," after the late George Floyd. Floyd's murder ignited the most intense portion of the Black Lives Matter movement thus far in the summer of 2020.

Burchill first posted the offensive tweet...

...then retweeted a meme a fan posted in response to her original tweet.

Burchill's account—complete with username paying tribute to alcohol and cigarettes—has since been deactivated.

Shortly after this offensive tweet and retweet, Burchill posted on Facebook she'd been fired from her job at the Sunday Telegraph.

People lauded the Telegraph's decision to fire Burchill.




Burchill's bigotry was not reserved simply for Harry and Meghan.

Earlier this year, Burchill accused fellow journalist Ash Sakar of "worshipping a pedophile" and calling her an "Islamist," meant to drum up anti-Muslim stereotypes.

It was only after being threatened with legal action she eventually apologized for her words.




Burchill has a history of defamation against Irish people as well, calling the Irish flag the "Hitler-licking, altar boy molesting, abortion banning Irish Tricolour."

Burchill is also in the process of publishing a book entitled Welcome to the Woke Trials: How #Identity Killed Progressive Politics.





The Sunday Telegraph itself has a long history of problematic content and accusations of racism, but at least it is down one of its more "edgy" columnists.

Cruz Ripped After Claiming Kamala Harris Is 'Bigoted' For Not Picking Pete Buttigieg As Her Running Mate

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was called out after he claimed former Vice President Kamala Harris is "bigoted" after she revealed in her new memoir 107 Days that former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg would've been her first choice for running mate in last year's election if it wasn't for the fact that he's gay.

Harris, who ultimately selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, wrote that she felt it would be "too big of a risk" for a Black woman to run for president with a gay man at her side. She described Buttigieg as "an ideal partner—if I were a straight white man" and said she and her team concluded that "knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk."

A fairly easy rule of thumb when it comes to cleaning is, if you've used it, it will need to be cleaned.

This sounds overwhelming on the surface, but there are some items, like window blinds and bicycle seats, that don't need to be cleaned every single time we've used them, so the chores balance out over time.
