  • Thanks, but I do know exactly what hypocrisy means and I don't need you to tell me. But, to clarify, from your definition:

    Hypocrisy is the contrivance of a false appearance of virtue or goodness, while concealing real character or inclinations

    This is exactly what Thompson is doing. A false appearance of virtue by appearing in a high profile way at the XR protest, while being covertly photographed travelling first class. By any common, accepted definition of hypocrisy, she is one.

  • I genuinely don't think you understand hypocrisy.

    Not hiding that you do something doesn't stop you being considered a hypocrite.

    If I drove everywhere, then told all my friends they shouldn't drive because it's bad for the environment, they'd still consider me a hypocrite, even if I was open about the fact I was driving everywhere.
