Suffice to say, it's a term often used on social media as you say. Edit. A quick google search reveals this. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjaiL7qpqz2AhURZcAKHVWRBKwQFnoECAUQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2Farticle%2Fuk-factcheck-wef-idUSKBN2AP2T0&usg=AOvVaw0HaYI4EsuYzAonlG3VeKMN Edited 4 March 2022 by Fazzer 7 1

leicsmac Posted 4 March 2022 Posted 4 March 2022 Just now, Izzy said: Lets no go there again Mac I was hoping by now that you'd taken control of your life and stopped being a victim Power structures are what they are and there are always victims with much less control over their life other than the obvious. An unfortunate part of human civilisation. Better to acknowledge them and account for them than not IMO. But yes, better to leave such things for a philosophy thread or somesuch.

One wonders if she'll be handing back the literary awards she got off the back if that story.

I'm sorry to say its as good as fact that Banks and the Leave mob are tied up in dodgy Russian money.
