Yes, I think Mic Wright appears to sometimes confuse downplaying and obfuscating privilege, which is a legit issue amongst this crowd, with āI hate people who have more money than me, especially womenā.
Makes some good points but a lot of it is reaching, too. Think he has a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
Anyway, Julie Burchill truly pulls no punches with the tweet about EJ preferring nappies. I donāt always agree with her but I do respect the hell out of her.
Julie Burchill can write. For that alone I love her. And Iād love to have her on my side and Iād love to come across her on tattle. And I genuinely think sheās wise and would be an amazing laugh. 100% dream dinner party guest/strong contender for my fantasy top best friend.
Some of her Tweets re IK are very sharp. But I think sheās sussed the target and is aware that this couple are basically impervious to criticism. Sometimes nasty people need a little nastiness in order to have a little think.
Thing is, surely IK is having the worst time of her life and cannot be staying with him because she condones it. More likely feels she needs him or something. Sheās trading a lot of social capital by staying so there must be a heavy reason.
Having said that, Iāve not ever seen any evidence of humility or empathy from her and have come to believe sheās a nasty piece of work and a powerful bully. So I canāt really claim to be sympathetic. If I were to invest sympathy itās more likely to be reflective people who suffer at the hands of over confident and self aggrandising bullies like her and her clique. I dread to think how many would be journalists etc there are who have had an unpleasant run in with her, LL, CM, SH etc etc

IK is a dreadful person, a sneer in human form. You just know that she's the type of "friend" that would utter many a passive aggressive remark disguised as "it's for your own good".
Really shocked that IK posted that disastrous looking picture of her before her post lockdown hairdo.
Surely her family and maybe some friends who arenāt afraid of her are trying to persuade her to leave him. As a commenter above says, she is losing a huge amount by clinging onto this relationship. Even if she hangs onto her columns, there are many many people who will not want anything to do with her even if they are too frightened to publicly condemn. And Iām sure some residents of the village They live in have made their views known. Itās not like you can be anonymous somewhere like that.
I imagine she just surrounds herself with sycophants tbh who wonāt challenge her, anyone else think the same? She doesnāt seem to cope with criticism at all ( much like so many blue tickers tbh)
Especially considering how judgemental she is. She has written books and articles on how women "should" look, dress themselves, wear their hair, etc
She does appear to think she is above, or exempt from, all social norms.
Does he have something over her which means she can't leave for fear of it being exposed? I can't think of any other reason, genuinely.
Fear of being alone? Which I donāt understand in this situation at all (obviously!) but quite powerful. I also wonder if in these situations thereās a lot of āI pleaded guilty because blah blah but you know I didnāt really do it / those friends sent it to me / excuse excuse excuseā and then if the partner stops believing that then they have to confront all of the awful stuff thatās true that they lived with / accepted etc - and what that means about them - the facade dropping comes with too much of a personal cost.
I know the above sounds ridiculous and awful but I think people In general can build up quite a strong delusion with this stuff. Iām sure thereās a better way of describing this than I have.
Pride too, she's put up with so much from him, if she dumps him now she has to admit everyone has been right all along.
I wonder if sheās watching this Carl Beech programme? They interview his ex wife. Awkward moments in the over done up house.
Where is the programme?
Argh sorry I didnāt see this. I donāt know - maybe BBC?
How do you know?
