Young women, who are trying to make the best of an often devastating chronic illness, are turning to social media to express what it is like to live the way they do, in order to create a truly accurate image of life with chronic illness that makes the public aware of what their lives are truly like.
fixed the title 😉

Using the excuse of its an opinion piece doesn't change underlying inaccuracies or misrepresentation
You could write an opinion which doesn't rely on misleading or wrong information and doesn't leave public opinion more ignorant+skewed
It's deliberate choice & harms all of us

Does anyone else see the asymmetrical narratives Burchill deploys in her piece below?
Vine is given humanising narrative space, while disabled people are mostly given compressed, generalised & adversarial space—
discussed more than listened to. #BlockedByVine #DisabilityRights

If anyone would like to compare my thread to Burchill's piece, here it is in its entirety, in the following screencaps:

Then your opinion is demonstrably incorrect.
Taxpayers do not fund “a quarter of their compatriots to take their ease”
The @theipaper can't be very good at fact-checking. It's very easy to find.

What about when your opinion isn't based on facts?

Also false. Julie Burchill says taxpayers fund “a quarter of their compatriots to take their ease”. 25% is disability prevalence, not welfare inactivity. It includes children, pensioners and millions in work. 5.5m disabled people were employed Apr-Jun 2025

Excellent thread here on the “i” hit piece rushed out to attempt to tear the narrative back in favour of professional victim @theJeremyVine, the PR machine working overtime to undo the damage he’s done to his reputation over the past week or two. #istandwithmike #blockedbyvine
I've read it—
Burchill begins with a preferred conclusion: [that] Vine is fundamentally fair & any critic is unreasonable - then selects character details, anecdotes & loaded descriptions which reinforce it.
#BlockedByVine
It's bias & internalised stigma is fully evident!

So the I-paper have now paid Julie Burchill to write a hit piece over the Jeremy Vine episode. I’m not going to share the article as I refuse to give it any oxygen, but it seems I’m pissing off all the right people. They can write all the hit pieces they want, but I’m not going to let it distract me from speaking the truth and I think we should all let it fizzle out.

In light of recent claims made about me in private messages from Jeremy Vine, and given the public nature of the issues involved, I am releasing the relevant correspondence for transparency.
I challenged the decision to appoint Mr Vine as host of the Carers UK Awards because of longstanding concerns about how disabled people, chronically ill people, and unpaid carers are portrayed on his programme. The petition that followed was not created or organised by me; it was initiated independently by another X user.
I do not condone abuse, harassment, or threats directed at anyone, and I reject any attempt to hold me responsible for the behaviour of others online.
The messages I received raise matters of public interest relating to charity governance, media influence, and accountability. Publishing them ensures the record is accurate and allows the public to understand the context in which these claims were made.
My intention is not to cause distress, but to correct the record and uphold the right of our communities to challenge narratives that affect us.

Are you able to back up the opinion, with evidence, that your presentation and show is balanced?
The excellent Disability News Service has already challenged your programme this year, and didn't get a satisfactory answer.

"The study found that lung function was most affected by exposure to limonene‑derived aerosols and woodsmoke, even after just a 60‑minute exposure."

It would be great if this was true and someone has spoken to him about the carcinogens present in woodsmoke, but seems unlikely! Yet another “environmentalist” who ignores public health and environment concerns because of their toxic hobby.
