Hi,It has been said many times but i also came here after the tattle rant, read all the posts and been a bit of a lurker. I too have been a "fan" of R's since the mothercare post and have also noticed a change in her appearance and behaviour over the last year or so.
Since finding Tattle and realising for myself that you are not a bunch of horrific trolls, im so happy to hear that others have the same opinion as me!
I never donated but i did buy her book which first had me questioning her.... Parts of the book didnt match up with things on her insta or facebook!
Another thing that has always bugged me is while i was preparing a personal statement for university and trying to obtain work related experience (which was pretty dammed hard seeing as i didnt have any relevant qualifications or experience) was how easy it was for her to have relevant information and contacts to help her "warriors"
Anyway i wanted to come by and say hi as i have voted in the poll but never posted until now
How is the personal statement coming along? If it is in social work or the social sciences, I absolutely recommend volunteering. There are lots of services who would be grateful for an extra pair of hands and would only require two hours per week. Maybe you could volunteer with older people for one afternoon (given DBS checks and so on), perhaps going into residential care homes and talking a resident for a walk? And then another day maybe volunteer with a youth club? The most important part of that is then explaining what you have learned from those experiences. Good luck! (And just ignore that if you’re already on the course!)
