Yes. If you say that it's impossible to change sex, you can get a ban, but being a convicted p&$do is fine.

I think it's a mix of all the above. I am sure she is absolutely desperate to get back on Twitter again - I used to marvel at how much she tweeted, all day, every day, and at night too, as if she had nothing else going on in her life. Which she obviously didn't, really, especially if Eric was in his office googling child rape with left hand while the right one was otherwise engaged. I imagine she sat there scoffing endless biscuits washed down with wine feeling rather sorry for herself but the sycophants on Twitter helped (a bit) to fill the void. I doubt there are any other suitors out there wanting to take her hand.
I also think they both (ironically) have massive superiority complexes, so they genuinely think they are above the law and better than the rest of us. So they are just waiting for it all to blow over so they can carry on their gilded, disgusting, morally corrupt lives once more.

Buy my book and you too could be beautiful!!
Her columns have got more and more pointless over the years. I don't know if journalism has changed or if I've got older and crankier, but those lifestyle/opinion type columns just seem to have mushroomed and I have to skim over more and more of them to get to the decent bits of the paper. I mean, I have funnier, cleverer and more interesting friends than these dull, out of touch windbags, so why would I bother? Social media has really exposed a lot of them I think - when you think of that brutal but ultimately democratic place, Twitter, you really see how witty and incisive "civilians" can be and wonder at the positions held by certain well connected media people.
I think she probably does know about here.
It's mind boggling that India Knight offered to send someone with pending child sex offences around to people's houses because they said comments like Sali Hughes home town didn't look that rough as it won a in bloom award. And even this was in response to Sali saying people wouldn't last 5 minutes where she grew up.
They're all the Sewer rats we thought they were.

I found this online from Liz Jones:
‘I see poor nana L Jones has taken a break from w***ing her cat,’ read the first of her many tweets (I wonder that people have the time to spend Sunday evenings tweeting in this way, but still).
Knight went on to call me a ‘rancid c***’ and to describe me as both mad and a form of cancer. She says that she used to work with me 20 years ago, and that I ‘pretend’ to know her.
We did indeed work together, at Mirabella, a magazine owned by Murdoch’s News Corporation where Knight’s stepfather was a senior director. She gave a reading at my wedding."
What a horrible cow. I'm no fan of Liz Jones and her Sex and the City style posts (if she still writes like that) but come on. And isn't the "crazy cat lady" such a worn out old trope for single women? And "nana?" and a form of cancer? You're vile, India

And who could forget India saying 'E asked do you know where they live'. And Sali replying 'Literally yes'

I’m glad people are talking about this! Just hopped over from my full time role of non-stop Grunkaing through the Jack Monroe threads. India Knight is surely the most pathetic cow I’ve come across in a while. Does she think her pweirdo/teenager beating/expenses cheating husband is somehow a cool bad boy type?? She genuinely seems to think he’s some sort of gangster, and it gives her some street cred! This isn’t peaky blinders, love. Your husband, that you have living with your 10 year old daughter, is a sex offender. God she’s vile!

Under today's Times article about the sentencing:
Similarly with today's news - Janice Turner, Sali Hughes, Caitlin Moran and that lot would have pointed out the injustice of the sentence if the sicko involved wasn't married to IK but no, not a bloody word. I did think Janice Turner had some integrity...the others, not so much.

Anyone remember India Knight appearing on Newsnight in June 2012 and admitting to using pornography regularly 'with her partner' [Joyce?] The clip is now nowhere to be found on the Internet – wonder why? The interview won't have aged well in the light of the child porn revelations.
I agree up to a point. But I think she’s a nasty piece of work. When Eric Joyce was convicted of common assault for attacking a 14 year old boy in a newsagent she tweeted that the teenager deserved it. Joyce was also convicted of assault after a fight with several MPs in a Commons bar. He has always been a violent man and she seems to have continually supported him and his actions despite his history

She seems to want to be the cool girl, like the description in Gone Girl. There's a 2012 article about being a parent and she talks about her son's coming downstairs to find people skinning up at the dinner table. It's ok when rich people expose their kids to drugs apparently!

Awful awful woman.
She and her revolting partner should be shunned by society and never ever be allowed to see their words in print, especially not if it means discussing children and the 'correct' ways of rearing them. She actually had the nerve to write there 'children are small and vulnerable'

Anyone else read her column in The Times today? The hypocrisy of a woman writing about young women’s right to walk the streets unmolested while living with a paedophile defies belief.

I don't know if this is *the* Julie Burchill as it's an unverified account but I do hope it is. I think Julie and India do have prior beef so would make sense. Glad to see her and Julie Bindel haven't been afraid to call them out.

More cross pollination from Sali Hughes thread - Tracy Ann Oberman querying why there has been so little coverage of the case in the media.

Just wanted to add, from what I have seen on some subs on Reddit, a lot of lesbians are getting banned and pushed out of lesbian safe places because some trans women have been ridiculing them and being horrible them for not wanting to have sex with trans women that have penises.
I wonder why there has been a lot more, in the open at last, trans women that have tried to "invade" women spaces. For example, why not opt for having more options in toiles were trans men and women can use them no matter if they are transitioned or not?
They have been a few cases like Jessica Yaniv ( from Ready To Glares video), but then again I don't really hear a lot about trans men doing similar things. So I don't really know if it is just that there are more men using the trans movement for their own satisfaction.
Like Eric using his position of power to basically get off scot-free.

Don't agree with this conclusion at all. Myriad reasons someone might stay and we are not privy to the details of their relationship.
What we absolutely do know is IK offered to send Eric to homes of Tattlers and Sali Hughes replied she knows the addresses. This happened after Eric was arrested on these charges, in a public conversation in Twitter and was clearly meant to be threatening

God, I didn't realise she was one of those arseholes who thinks women should wear a uniform according to their age and social status. I have absolutely no time for that nonsense.I found a review of her book "In Your Prime" (which sounds utterly dreadful), this excerpt from the review stood out
"She is also ruthlessly rude about Pointlessly Long Hair on middle-aged women – the sort of lank, greying hank that makes the wearer resemble a knackered mermaid. Equally wrong is Pointlessly Short Hair which is supposed to be gamine, but which actually requires an unfeasibly sharp jawline if you’re not going to end up looking like the governor of a women’s prison."
Here's the review in full
In Your Prime: Older, Wiser, Happier by India Knight review – sharp, slanted and bracingly unbothered
All about me – yes, but these tips on ageing are also full of wit and style, writes Kathryn Hugheswww.theguardian.com
