Jameela and Josie backing away

They backed a sparkly horse. They are not stupid (or at least have access to people who are smart) or people who advise them. They also have a brain.

BTW I don't think we need to do a personality dissection of their backgrounds and become the "mean girls" ourselves - it's just really unnecessary. They put their support out there without considering the weight of the topic and now light is being shone to show the truth.

Mermaids have handily put a reminder on their website of the Instagram story jameela would rather the internet forgot. Thanks, mermaids 👍
Also given Jameela warns about the negative (but probably temporary) effects that diet pills have on under 18s (using her alternative organisation /moniker @iweigh), do you not think she would extend the same caution to advising children to take pills that derail puberty so that they may never become a fully functioning adult? 🤔

It was Oxford. I was there at the same time and had mutual friends. She was pretty insipid but very cliquey with people she thought were cool.

Ah ok, thank you!

And her being cliquey explains a lot.

They’ve just ‘discovered’ that they aren’t reversible. Well, who’d’ve thunk it? Who knew? Why didn’t anyone say anything?

The nhs u turn on blockers plus now Ireland?

Doesn’t she usually do ‘well you are all just horrid - I have a broken finger nail don’t you know 😭😭😭’ then flounce off twitter for a while to the cries of ‘you are are Queen’ and ‘don’t let the haterz get to you babe’ ‘you are wonderful’ etc? Or is that someone else I’m thinking of?

Some kind of legal action(s) brewing seems likely. And overdue.

I looked Josie Long up as I had no idea who she was.

She went to Newstead Woods which is a super-selective girls grammar in SE London.

Wikipedia says she grew up in Orpington on the outskirts of London and went to Newstead Woods, which is one of the most selective grammar schools in the country. It's a state school but I'd be suprised if it takes many girls from lower-income families.

I've noticed that certain Mermaid mums I follow have also been quite quiet recently and not mentioned them. I'm wondering if there's something bigger going on.
Certain legal investigations/court cases might require people to keep quiet so I'm wondering if its something like that. And yes, it's pure speculation on my part but it would explain a lot.

Do you know where Josie Long went to school? From what I can see, people who went to state school are just as likely to share these views.

Not sure about her schooling, but she went to Cambridge and is very middle class and twee.

Good thing there are screenshots and the internet archive, eh.

It will be interesting who says ‘I hold my hands up, I got this one wrong, sorry to those I hurt’ - and who dirty-deletes and denies any involvement. When the wheels are thoroughly off the bus I think the first group deserve some degree of grace, but it seems only fair to hold the rest fully accountable. This thing where you can edit your history and control your image is part of what got us into this mess in the first place.

In which case, why not tweet explaining what you've done and why?

Did she vanity search her name to reply to that tweet, or was she actually tagged in the convo?

Either way, equine excrement springs to mind.

In the most believable tweet ever Jameela is claiming to have deleted tweets Up to 2020 as she wants her account to be more focused.

This thread is delicious

Great spider facts going on btw!

needsmoresleep yep the “still” was wrong then. Unfair to imply it was fact, gives people the impression she was a bitch at school, which may be completely false I completely agree that private school encourages a level of confidence and entitlement. That doesn’t automatically mean that a private school girl is a mean girl though, or the boys the name equivalent, whatever that is.

Oh, eek, wrong link. Sorry.

Females are usually larger and more venomous and live longer.

Spider sexing. Love it 😍

You need to look for bulbs on the end of the palps.

For sexing spiders.

Apparently.

I'll get my coat.

Corsican, perhaps the still was wrong. I don't know what she was like at school but have had plenty of chance to observe how other rich cool kids behave. Private school encourages a level of confidence and entitlement. My reading is that this is something Jameela has now, so I assume she had then.
