Because they’re young and stupid
And the internet of ten years ago was a far less public and far less accountable place.
Can you be 100% sure that your entire internet history is free of any potentially controversial posts?

And me
I am sure I have said something along the lines of “Fucking cunting whiney cunts. Cunting whiney fucking cunts. Go change your fucking tampon & stay the fuck out of my way.” at some point.
Possibly many points. Although I would take out the tampon bit and jimmy in more fucks and cunts.

"BuzzFeed News found several dozen tweets between 2010 and 2015 that would shock many people." This did not happen ten years ago as you suggest.
I've said a lot of things under some kind of cloak of anonymity that I wouldn't want potential employers to know that I've said, but on a Twitter page that explicitly identifies me? Just not that stupid.

Very true.
Along with that the speed at which attitudes have changed is pretty rapid. You certainly don't see posts like this on b3ta getting FP'd anymore...

I often think back to simpler times,
when Gordon Brown our esteemed Prime Minister claimed to be a big fan of Little Britain. I couldn't decide what annoyed me most about said claim, its implausibility or, if true, the fact that it indicates a dire taste in comedy. Either way, that show would never get the green light today, for all manner of reasons.

Yup, a hell of a lot of that show would be frowned on now.
Fat shaming, transphobia, ableism... and it was only 10 years ago.

Being rude about chavs.
Owen Jones wrote a whole book about that. It was called Chavs.

Yeah, I bet there's a lot of being rude about chavs in the 6th form common room at Haberdashers' Aske's.
Somewhat less inclined to be rude to their faces though I'll bet.

THe whole point of public school is
you don't have to.
See also being able to hear yourself think in the classroom.
Or perhaps you think lack of self-control and early training in violence is a good thing?

Pruffie seems to be pretty down on education, knowledge and research in general
You just have to look at his flat out wrong statements about the EU parliament never having rejected a proposed law to see that he can't even use google. Bless.
