I’m sure she is using it as a shield but she could use literally any aspect of her condition as a shield. Joe Public aren’t going to understand biologics or infusions anymore than they’re going to understand chemotherapy has various forms so she could easily breadcrumb the same side effects and claim she needs the time off.It’s the intent to mislead though. Yes we should hold everybody to the same standards, I don’t think that’s what is being disputed here. It’s not ‘she can’t talk about her chemo’ it’s ’why is she talking about her chemo’. I honestly think we do her a disservice if we pretend she doesn’t know exactly what she’s doing.
I think that was it for me, in a post where she literally said it was for her MS, it stinks of minimising/gatekeeping to say “she shouldn’t say that, she’s cancer-baiting”.Debating this stuff makes me queasy because we all know those in Carly’s position usually really don’t need the added scrutiny, but it just stinks of internalised ableism. Even then, I want to give her some room for some growth and reflection etc because she didn’t get here in a vacuum, we all know how and why we develop identities and politics that work against our best interests, but in order to do that we need to be able to call it as we see it.
I agree completely with all of this, much more eloquent than me!Regardless of the reason, she has demonstrated herself to be pathologically incapable of delivering what she promised, and there is at least £160,000 of donated money still unaccounted for.
I don't think she ever expected to raise that much or get that much publicity and was totally ill equipped to deal with it - practically, physically and psychologically.
As someone also living with MS, I feel very sorry for her from a health perspective - it's a rough disease to live with and this new treatment suggests it's not been well-controlled by her previous regimen.
That doesn't excuse the fact that this has gone on long enough and there are questions that need to be answered about where the money has gone and what she plans to do now.
If she just honestly said "I'm not up to doing this right now - the situation is X, the money is in a business bank account and the business is being administered bythree cats in a trenchcoatWhiskers until X date" that would be understandable, and I think she'd get a lot more sympathy than the current obfuscation and evasion.
Oh they went into some detail! That schedule of events looks awfully familiar.The Daily Mail's starting to ask questions: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ury-vandalism-GUY-ADAMS-money-true-story.html
Carly did not respond to detailed questions from the Mail this week but she did email me a statement explaining why she chose to abandon the once famous veg patch.
'I was given a years [sic] contract with a clause to throw me off in two weeks by the council even after everything I did,' it read. 'I couldn't put everyone's money into that as it would of [sic] been such a waste. So instead I've handed out 70k to Harlows [sic] CICs CIOs and charities that support our community.'
She added: 'I've fed over 4,000 people with food parcels so far and I'm looking at bringing allotments to primary schools so our children get a chance to learn how to grow, learn where food comes from and learn how to grow there [sic] own food for the school chemically free.

That's really weird because it's completely open for me. Not behind a paywall or anything.Subscription anybody read it?
My exact thoughts and well done indeed!Oh this is golden. And hello to the journalist who clearly reads here. Well done to the Tattlers who have been documenting everything.
And HMRC. If she's on benefits as the article suggests she can't have more than £16k in her account. They'd ask to look at her finances and she'd need to prove she hasn't spent a penny of it. She's also need to account for the PayPal donations which are over and above the £250k. The taxman should be very interested.Shame it’s behind a paywall, hopefully other papers will pick it up now and it will get some traction. Can anyone report a suspected fraud to the police?
Great find, Zelda!The Daily Mail's starting to ask questions: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ury-vandalism-GUY-ADAMS-money-true-story.html
