Been crazy busy at work so just catching up. I’m sure with those skills you can find a new job anywhere!
I do feel sad even if I don’t know them nor agree with their life decisions - but is almost like they’ve got a rug pulled from under their feet. Best case they have a plan B (well like their real jobs but unlikely they’ll pay to maintain the aspirational lifestyle) But also likely they fell for their own show and got into debt which would not be a good place to be in right now. Regardless on how they monetise that, they still have kids they shouldn’t suffer from their parents’ stupidity...
Agree it’d be sad for the kids to ever suffer, but what child needs a £4k sink or £200pcm marble tiles in their parents’ en suite that they’re not allowed in anyway? The kids still live the same middle class life supported by the grandparents paying the school fees. They’re not on the breadline, they’re just not going on £10k holidays anymore or getting free £40k kitchens because they’re not being gifted them. Like 99.5% of children in this country they’ll just have parents that need to make considered purchases because they’re not being chucked gifts left right and centre
By comparison I saw a feature on ch4 news that has to be one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen - an 11 year old girl who had to look after her two younger siblings, including a 7 month old, when her care assistant mum got COVID 19. They’re living in overcrowded temporary accommodation so had to shut the mum into the only other room and leave food at the door for her. Imagine being an 11 year old having to care for a 7 month old? The poor girl was so quiet in the interview the legit trauma was palpable, and she won’t have access to therapy. Her school likely isn’t running lessons to distract her (can’t remember the stats but low income children have basically been forgotten about, for kids in nicer areas or private it’s BAU, the attainment gap is gonna be mad).
With the power and influence the SODs had they could have insisted on doing more community / charity work as part of their deals. Child poverty is SUCH an issue in this country and not once did these ~aspirational parents~ mention it to their audience, apart from the ghastly white saviour holiday they got gifted. They could have easily tied charity work (eg give me one dress and a fee for a pic but give 10 to a women’s shelter too) into their contracts when they were “head boy and girl” but they didn’t as they do nooooot give a fuck about anyone but themselves! They sold their freebies on to profit twice, never donated them.
Look at his most recent insta comments - he’s not said “racism? No she wasn’t racist!” He’s said “MY racism?” eg yeah she was racist but it wasn’t me was it! What the fuck?! How is this remotely on in 2020 at all, much less after the week we’ve all had where no one can pretend not to know better anymore? It’s not good enough and yet here he still is. I know it’s “only” £27 for these bots but would have been better spent on a bail fund or buying your kids books so they don’t end up an ignorant racist pig like their mum.
FYI script has run through the night nicely thankfully! He’s now at a wholly believable 963,671
going up about 1 a minute eyeballing it but will give you guys our overnight summary around 9.30ish?
