See also Ashley Cain and Saffiya Vorajee. There are serious questions being raised now about where the Go Fund Me money has gone. More and more people are asking questions about what The Azaylia Foundation are doing with the £1.6 million raised for treatment for the poor baby and they’re all being labelled trolls for asking legitimate questions.
Yes to this a million times.
I thought maybe they enter a negotiation? HMRC are said to do backdoor offers all the time (to a select few).
I agree. They want people to think that we're unfairly bullying gorgeous young women on TikTok and Insta - as if there's not a whole subforum devoted to "family" influencers (mainly in their 30s-50s) and active threads for plenty of people that aren't young e.g. Nadia Sawalha, Jo Good, Alice Evans. And that we're not only bitter, ugly old crones but also barely literate reactionariesYes to this a million times.
It’s always implied we are just jealous of those hot, young things (poor, innocent, bullied entrepreneurs that they are). Never that we may have a valid or informed opinion. I do think it also stinks of misogyny in that they brand us ‘middle aged females’ and equate that as meaning we have lower ‘value’, status and are without any good looks or physical appeal. It’s never that maybe we can see through the BS and have intelligence and life experience? No, we are just gnarled old hags, jealous of their pert figures and youthful energy.
Remember that comment the DM made about being surprised how eloquent (I think) some tattlers were? They wanted to pitch it as though our views are based solely on our insecurities. I don’t think that is the case at all. Personally I think this is a far more informed and balanced site than something like Mumsnet, for example.
I think the tax status caviate came in relatively recently.
Beckham apparently has been cleared for the Jubilee honours list after an appeal according to the papers so will see. After he said he only did charity work to get a gong I thought that would have ruled him out.
Hey guardian! Where has that ever been stated? It's a gossip forum. Nothing more, nothing less. Some of the stuff is in the public interest, some is tittle tattle as per the name
.They've never been allowed and never will. If ones slipped through the net it's imperative people report it. People do get banned instantly for breaking our strict rules on privacy. You get away with that kind of stuff on twitter/ Instagram/ Reddit where even if it's reported they don't remove it. But not here.
There's also this...
Too right. Influencers are just them dodgy door to door sales people who would go for elderly homes. This tactic was used as they knew elderly people may be lonely and want conversation and easy to manipulate. It’s no coincidence a lot of influencers demographics are targeted at certain groups of people ie look at me working with primark or pretty little thing, even you peasants can look like me
It's been great seeing so many more people posting on the forum, with lots of new people getting involved in the discussions. Keep the free publicity coming media outlets to make us busier than ever before.
The horrors those tattlers get up to! Dark web stuff indeed
But her suicide was to do with the Crown Prosecution Service and press intrusion like slashing her tyres outside her house, going by what her family said. If anyone is in a place to speculate on what no one will ever know it's them. How did it demonstrate actions online?
