Twitter reacts to the publication of the Chilcot Iraq report

The report into the Iraq war has been published today – it took seven years to write, is 2.6 million words long and is estimated to take 9 days to read. Thankfully Twitter didn’t need to read it before taking the piss…

Disappointed that the Chilcot Report isn't called "The Blair Watch Project".

"The Chilcot Report. You do? Oh, wonderful. Can you keep it for me? My name? Yes, it's Tony Bla…. J.R. Hartley."

Pokémon Go and The Chilcot Report on the same day. One's about documenting the activities of monsters, the other is a freemium mobile game.

People forget that the Chilcot Report initially started out as Twilight fan fiction.

I reckon by page 4,307 #chilcot will just be pages from the Coventry phone book & pictures of horses.

Livid. Been waiting for an hour by the copier, because SOMEONE has decided to print a 2.6m word document.

Cannot wait for Twitter to reduce a 2.6 million word report to 140 characters, complete with sad face emojis #chilcot
