It is with great regret that we have to ask members to refrain from any further discussion of Gina Ford, her methods or her books on the site. To find out why click here. We'd be very grateful if members could report any mentions of Gina Ford using the "contact Mumsnet" facility (the little red exclamation mark to the right of each posting). Many thanks. MNHQ. "

Never seen it before.

Joanna Moorhead often writes articles with input from Mners and very good they are too. She might be another person to approach?
Happy to do anything I can to help MNHQ with this. Have signed the petition already.

Funy thing is I was indifferent and wouldn't advocate or slate this method, having read the first two chapters and decided it wasn't for me. But having seen this I now have a very strong opinion, which I will gladly spread around..

Kiskidee · 07/08/2006 14:16

Mumsnet team - I hereby pledge my allegiance to the almighty Mumsnet!
You asked for ideas: hope you don't mind me emailing Jeremy Vine and his team alerting them to this issue, which for me, is of utmost importance.
Mumsnet is a truly monumental achievement of which you should be rightly proud; it provides many many mothers, fathers AND their children with a wealth of advice, support and fun and should NOT be under threat of closure by any one individual.

MrsRichardHammond · 07/08/2006 14:14

have written several amazon reviews....

Have you told the big baby product manufacturers such as pampers, huggies, calpol, cow and gate, tesco etc those with parenting sites. Get them involved too.

Ladies feel free to come to bounty debates too if you wish! lol

Tortington · 07/08/2006 14:12

Anybody help ?

Kiskidee · 07/08/2006 14:10

d'you think gordon brown with his 2 babies are following any kind of parenting regime? should we also email him since he seems to be pm in waiting?

katierocket · 07/08/2006 14:09

Yes Decca Aitkenhead who wrote the supernanny piece would be a good one.
If anyone has email contact for her or Inida Knight they would definitely be interested I think.

saltire · 07/08/2006 14:08

Well i have been having a discussion with Menzies Campbell over the high-handidness (is that a word?) of the DHE/MOD so next time i email him i could mention this!?

Latipsoh · 07/08/2006 14:08

Please feel free to ask more members to pop over, and click on the advert links here and there too to add to MN's cause

MrsRichardHammond · 07/08/2006 14:08

SlightlyFamiliarPeachyClair · 07/08/2006 14:08

Um, Wasn't Mr cametron on here recently?

anthonykiedisbitontheside · 07/08/2006 14:07

If you're writing to the scotsman make clear who you are talking about as she has a namesake who is a Scottish liberal MP.

AvaLou · 07/08/2006 14:07

How about the Guardian 'family ' supplement? They ran a pretty scathing article on 'supernanny' a couple of weeks ago.

Kiskidee · 07/08/2006 14:07

more CLBB reviews interesting reading the first 2

SlightlyFamiliarPeachyClair · 07/08/2006 14:06

Shame this morning is off really, isn't it?

Racking my brains for other ideas........

never a fruitful endeavour however

Anyone know anyone in The Tories? Another example of the Nanny State again (but Maybe not Boris after the other day LOL)

katierocket · 07/08/2006 14:06

India Knight would be a good one
