Comeback of the week as Journalist – accused of being obsessed with Europe – responds

Europe, it is still there, in fact last time we checked we were still part of it, Geographically anyway.

Perhaps some people wished mainland Europe would just vanish once we left the EU. Well it does seem that way from this twitter spat.

It began with a news piece by Sky News correspondent Adam Parsons reporting on the terrifying levels of pollution in Poland right now.

He tweeted: “The first thing that greets you is that smell of smoke, of coal fires.” Sky’s @adamparsons on what it’s like to report from one of the EU’s most polluting countries, Poland – where there are fears for the health of future generations.”

Quite concerning right? Well not for this account who replied with: ‘Still obsessed with Europe.”

Parsons shot back with: “I’m the Europe Correspondent. It’s actually my real job.”

Bomb dropped

The account user tried to backtrack, saying it “was directed at Sky,” but even if that was the case, it didn’t go down with other users.
