People are calling for kindness after the death of Caroline Flack, but social media as it currently exists is incompatible with true kindness, writes TVsCarlKinsella

of me to point out that Piers Morgan makes millions by revelling in the distress that he causes to to thousands of vulnerable people? Is it right to demand that those defending themselves from persecution be kind to the ones who persecute them? Is it just to stand by when bad things happen, for fear of being unkind to those who do and say bad things?

We remember the glee with which people on social media rejoiced when it emerged last year that Love Island contestant Francesca Allen had called Caroline Flack a"dirty pedo" on social media . The scenes were those of jubilation. They had no choice but to stan. None of this suggests behaving passively in the face of injustice. Kindness doesn't have to mean silence, or weakness.

It means waiting days, or even weeks, or months, or years to see how somebody grows from their offence before you render your judgment unto them. Maybe it means suspending any judgment at all, and examining your own habits before you begin to dissect the world around you.
