Waleed Aly applauds Africans Standing Up Against White Privilege

[icyfroth]

The Project host was trending on Twitter on Monday after XYZ published an article about him titled: 'Waleed Aly applauds African gang who assaulted young girl at train station for 'courageously standing up to white privilege''.

The basis of the story was entirely made up, as proven by a tag above the headline which identified it as satire.

Goes to show the power of fake news...

And there is no such word as spelt unless you're talking about wheat.

And why anybody would put an apostrophe in front of course is beyond me.

This bit is right.

But I'm only up to page 2 

Where is this apostrophe of which you speak?

Even down to the pronunciation.

My name is no secret.  It's there to see.

But I have to tell people it rhymes with starry, not the French pronunciation.

That's what my mum gave me, that's what I stick with.

It's a good old fashioned name.

I don't see how "Imastawka" rhymes with "starry". Bit like Palaszczuk is supposed to be Palashay, maybe?

Anyway...It's not about you. Or your name.

---

Easy for me to work out - it's my mother's middle name, with the same pronunciation as yours.

---

Look, really...nobody cares..

---

Either spell out what  you mean, or nobody cares...cryptic is for crosswords...

---

Apparently you care a lot, Icy.

Others have worked it out.

It's really not that hard.

---

I'm not that interested.
