Blatantly not an AIBU. But Carole Malone certainly is!

Apparently the poor children who died in the fire in Derby were the result of an "accident waiting to happen". Didn't realise someone pouring petrol through a letter box then setting it ablaze was a pure accidental series of events! The family even had smoke alarms.

I know I am BU to post this here but I just wanted to point out the lovely words from Mr Philpot about thanking everyone who tried to help.

"Mr Philpott said: ?I want to thank my three eldest children because they have helped us cope. And then there?s a young lad who tried to get in the house the same as myself.
?Then of course there is the four firemen, the police, the ambulances, the doctors and nurses ? everybody who tried to help save our children.
?We can?t express our gratitude enough. It?s not just us that have suffered, it?s them as well ? it?s everybody.?
Mr Philpott said that his son Duwayne?s organs had been donated to save the life of another child.
?That makes us happy and it takes a bit of the pain away,? he added.
?We grew up in a community that?s been through a lot of problems with violence and to see this community come together like it has, it?s too overwhelming.
'Those poor gentlemen from the fire brigade, who saw what we saw ? my heart goes out to them."

There's a man who despite all his pain and suffering has thought of others, unlike Ms Malone.

Every time I have seen this woman on TV (I don't read the kind of papers she writes for), it has occurred to me how vapid she is.

pumpkinsweetie · 17/05/2012 15:58

I hope they get the vile viper off the tv.
I hope the family finds out who did this and the murderer is punished for what hell they have bought on to the family.
Carole Malone has no respect or manners-they were children fgs

carernotasaint · 17/05/2012 16:01

Someone said on another forum that there is a facebook campaign to get her off tv.

pumpkinsweetie · 17/05/2012 16:03

Il shall be joining that then Smile

QuickLookBusy · 17/05/2012 16:12

She is a vile.

Voidka · 17/05/2012 16:15

She makes my skin crawl.

mrsscoob · 17/05/2012 16:56

Horrible horrible woman

EldritchCleavage · 17/05/2012 17:04

OK, so is she saying that they were hung out to dry by unscrupulous TV producers who set them up to be hated by the public? If so, she may well be right-it happens.

It is still a stretch, and a bit odd, to suggest from that that the arson attack was 'an accident waiting to happen' (not least because we don't know who the perpetrator(s) are-their motive may turn out to be nothing to do with the TV exposure. Could be personal. Could be as a result of mental illness. Anything).

ihatethecold · 17/05/2012 17:08

She is truly horrid woman.
When she is on the wright stuff. I want to turn over.
She is shameless

elinorbellowed · 17/05/2012 17:08

It's doesn't matter how someone lives their life, someone murdering their children is not an accident waiting to happen. The only person to face any blame at all is the sick fucker that did it.
She is horrible.

Joiningthegang · 17/05/2012 20:32

She is the sort of women who would respond to a dv homicide saying the woman should have left the relationship (therefore her fault), or if she had stopped nagging him ( therefore her fault) etc. the best thing to do with people like her is ignore, ignore, ignore

Debeez · 17/05/2012 20:37

Agreed with you on the comparison between dv and the blame that can be laid as a result joining, seems to be the same train of thought there too. I don't agree with the ignore thing though, personally. I think by causing a massive fuss about her and loudly boycotting her appearances etc we might get ITV to back away from her even more i.e not hire her.

Not commenting on her as giving her credence.

Just poor family.

SauvignonBlanche · 17/05/2012 20:44

I don't know who Carole Malone is, sorry.
I didn't know Mr & Mrs Philpott had kindly consented to donate their son's organs,how selfless of them, the only good to come of such a horrific tragedy.
RIP.

Debeez · 17/05/2012 20:50

Agreed SauvignonBlanche, they've been so humble and kind. Thanking the poor firefighters and feeling sorry for what they saw. Such dignity.

They are such a lovely, humble couple. My God you would have to have no humanity to kick them in these circumstances. Shame on her.

Bagofholly · 17/05/2012 23:09

I would cheerfully like to chip her teeth with my ring hand.
I listened to her being interviewed about what a poisonous old hack she is and she said a v famous sleb had contacted her begging her not to run a scoop on the state of her marriage as she and her husband were trying to work things out, and Chunty Malone said "And I did that for her. I gave her that time."
Who the actual royal fuck does she think she is? The arrogance of the woman is breathtaking. Evil woman making money and column inches through other people's misery.

carernotasaint · 17/05/2012 23:38

Well if Carole Malone (bitch) thought this was just gonna go away i reckon shell be disappointed.

He gives Carole a special mention. Love you Owen xxx

DioneTheDiabolist · 17/05/2012 23:42

I watched her and was Shock when she said this was "an accident waiting to happen". It was victim blaming at it's most blatant.

Bagofholly · 17/05/2012 23:45

I love you too, Owen.

limitedperiodonly · 18/05/2012 11:51

Chunty Malone. Grin Don't know what this means but I'll copy it. Possibly without the H.
