The great thing about the internet is that it gives us the chance to elevate people to the point of heroes before we’ve had a chance to look into who they are. It’s the classic local news story of the guy who’s given the freedom of the city for rescuing orphans from a fire, and then has it retracted the week after when someone realises he did 15 years in prison for child sex offences. And so it is with Chloe Papas.



You know her, right? People thought she was called Chris Havercroft for a bit. She’s a jobbing Australian hack who has spun social media gold by giving a Chris Brown album 0/5.Chris Brown, of course, is a wife-beater, and it’s important that we treat him exactly the same as John Lennon, Miles Davis, James Brown, Mark E Smith and all the other wifebeaters in musical history who had their careers ruined by the discovery of that fact.

So you put Papas Does Preach into a search engine. And you find her Pinterest page. And her favourite band of all time are Fleetwood Mac, as helmed by Lindsey Buckingham. Buckingham, as we all know, loved to smack his ex-girlfriend Carol Ann Harris about. Couldn’t get enough of beating women up, to the extent that he’s never refuted Harris’s allegations that he liked to pop Stevie Nicks one in the jaw on occasion as well. Now that’s weird. Because Chloe Papas, for some reason, loves wifebeating when it’s done by 1970s coke heads but not by peanut-headed R&B ingénues. Now, why could that be? What is an obvious difference between Chris Brown and Lindsey Buckingham. I mean, you look at them…. does anything come to mind?

Between them, these acts have 193 members. And, at a guess, how many of those do you think are black? If you went with “0” you win the star prize! Which is a copy of “The Turner Diaries”, as signed by Chloe Papas.

Chloe Papas is a hypocrite and a racist, and the fact that people are marking her out as some sort of hero is fucking disgusting. I hope you’re all ashamed of yourselves for doing so.
