They didn't devote nearly enough time to her. She'd be fun interviewed by Matthew Wright...

Stratters · 05/04/2012 15:04

I remember that too, gaf

Can anyone find the shitstorm thread?

Stratters · 05/04/2012 15:13

I thought it got deleted?

gafhyb · 05/04/2012 15:14

Startters - you remember it well enough to think it got deleted? I deffo can't seem to find it

Hmm. This is definitely shifty. Bloody DM .

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 15:18

I like this decective work, though.

Sparklingbrook · 05/04/2012 15:21

Now you mention it that thread rings a bell.

Stratters · 05/04/2012 15:27

I think it did, got v bunfighty. Pity, would MNHQ remember?

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 15:44

Would that have been trolling, then? Was that why it got deleted?

PostBellumBugsy · 05/04/2012 15:45

Just read the para below in the Independent & feel violently ill at the thought of the DM making so much money from this/all of us suckers who clicked through to their website.

Taking all ad revenues into account, pundits estimate the Mail may have picked up £100,000 from the tumultuous exposure.

PostBellumBugsy · 05/04/2012 15:47

oh & this too

We didn't used to have so specific a term for how the Daily Mail operates, but now we do: it's trolling. The internet is full of trolls, lurking on messageboards and in the "comments" sections, leaving little titbits of poison for others to become enraged by and react to. Normally they come out in response to an article, but this time Samantha Brick trolled us all first, and we trolled her right back. And the newspaper raked in the cash.

£100k? Did the poor sod even get a 1% cut do you think?

PostBellumBugsy · 05/04/2012 15:56

The Indy article is worth reading. Makes me hate the DM even more.

gafhyb · 05/04/2012 16:07

Post - I happens a lot on here. They use us a lot, I suspect. I've noticed this kind of poster more and more

PostBellumBugsy · 05/04/2012 16:10

gafhyb, does that mean that RachelHRD is not a genuine MNer, but someone trolling on behalf of the DM & we all rose to the bait?

gafhyb · 05/04/2012 16:20

Oh, I didn't mean that, and I couldn't possibly comment. I actually was speaking more generally about AIBU.

Greenshadow · 05/04/2012 16:33

Coming late to this thread - personal opinion is she is OK to look but that's all.

But, having looked at the stills of the "This Morning" interview, her skin really ages her - would have said she was over 50 if I just saw the neck and mouth area.

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 16:35

Well, at least a fair few of us blame the Daily Mail and all who sail in her.

That's something, I suppose.

Oooh! Oooh! STOP PRESS !!!! Am I the first with this news? Katie Hopkins is on Sky News talking about this and she has just said, and I quote:

'We don't all have to be fat and frumpy sitting around in our pyjamas picking spaghetti hoops up off the floor, like those women on Mumsnet.'

Kellamity · 05/04/2012 18:02

PMSL at the high and mighty and ever so important Katie who?

gafhyb · 05/04/2012 18:04

jif - perfect touche. Love it.

scottishmummy · 05/04/2012 18:05

I love Katie Hopkins esp when ranting about mn
because you knw what for a lot of folk she's spot on
I mean folk on mn who post they go to telco in pj/rollers/slippers and love loose women at lunchtime

aye, Katie Hopkins is funny

gafhyb · 05/04/2012 18:07

sm - they are in the minority though, shurely? The majority are high powered career bitches who'd sooner poke their eye out with a shitty stick than go to a sports day
