Comment on Anger as workmen rip out 'lovely' Levenshulme alley garden

“Anger as [whatever]” is the new slammed. It’s a stupid fucking sentence fragment and of course it doesn’t really even mean more than 5 Twitter users are angry
SLAMMED!

ANGERED!
Anger as this comment drives up engagement
“Anger and inaction” as people complain and do nothing.
I feel you should take more issue with “workmen rip out ‘lovely’ alley” - as if working class people just up and decided to rip plants out when it was a bureaucrat somewhere signing off on this getting tore down - who is now not even willing to come out and admit sighning it…
Next they’ll be “slammed” or “facing calls”.

It makes sense here for the people that have poured time and money into improving their community over the years, only for it to be mindlessly vandalised by bureaucrats.

I’m taking issue with the stupid way of writing. Not the point it’s making

What makes you think that this is a new phrase?

What makes you think headlines have always included versions of “Fury as [something]”? If you’re looking to argue with me about a style opinion, I’m good.
