    First they came for Israel but I did nothing because I am not Israeli.

    Then they came for Doncaster but I did nothing because they’re welcome to it, quite frankly.

    Realistically that’s on her.

    A woman panicked her village near Doncaster was under attack when she spotted a number of paragliders flying over her home

    The mirror needs to hire writers who will have at least a board line understanding of the English language. The hell is going on with that sentence, it’s crap.

        It’s all written by AI, some algorithm said that was what headlines look like

    She wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter : “Whoever thought it was funny to parasail over the village, it was in extremely poor taste. Take your twisted hatred somewhere else. There was two parachutes with engines like Hamas used at that festival, gave me a fright. Thought it was some kind of scare tactic or protest.”

    The headline doesn’t actually describe the article text. She did not say that she thought it was Hamas. She thought that it was some kind of protest. Which may be wrong too, but is not the same thing as believing Hamas is attacking.

      It’s still really fucking stupid. That lady needs to go live in a cave and never interact with or have to see people again.

        She probably doesn’t exist, it was all made up by The Mirror to get a good click baity headline. If she does exist, she shouldn’t exist in the news because she’s dumb as fuck, but that’s the state of the media nowadays.

      I think paragliders might possibly predate all the current political ongoings

      Hey man! Facts don’t sell! They don’t move content and they don’t generate clicks.

      You and your accuracy are out of place!

    Haha, what? The state of British media. Are people believing they’re a threat to us?

      I think only this one woman did. She should probably get seen by someone in a nice calming white coat.

        I’m questioning if the social media post actually happened. Smells like bullshit

      Honestly the only real threat to us is another loan wolf terrorist or a cell operating in this country that takes the plight of Palestine as their hill to die on so to speak.

      But I agree with you, it is a clickbait headline designed to stoke either fear or astonishment at the stupidity of others, when it’s really just a rehashed abridged story of the ongoing Middle East crisis.

      I read an article last week about how a council was getting more calls from people scared of bedbugs from Paris. Same idea, just get eyes on the page for adverts.

    Alternative title: Doncaster woman’s stupidity is perfect rage-bait for our website.

    Fuck that awful rag of a paper.
