UnNews:Queen sends first tweet
Friday, October 24, 2014
The Queen has sent her first ever tweet while opening an information technology gallery at the Science Museum.
The message, which went out at 12:35am to 724,000 followers of the @BritishMonarchy account, was the following:
Media experts were quick to praise the Queen. Professional opionista Joanna Corey said, "Almost none of the content on social networks is polite or said with a good heart. The fear for an official account was that it would be bland and artificial.
"But by being foul-mouthed and ignorant, the Queen has shown herself to be a true 21st-century girl."
The Queen's appearance on the social network soon began trending; a number of users threatened to rape her and one claimed he would cut her tits off.
