In which, middle class India Knight called la Liz everything under the sun on her nasty twitter diatribe of nonsense.

Schadenfreude, I know.

I think my posts were taken all wrong an' all, Justine thinks i,m a stirrer, bups finks in,m some funky weirdy fester stalker i am.
I still blame pinot and the Astral.

Pinot · 27/11/2012 16:03

I was, squoosh, until it got too big to keep up with.

I think so too, Path :( Cunting Astral :(

WelshMaenad · 27/11/2012 16:07

shrug

I really like Astral.

Clearly I am not in the cool girl beauty gang. Shame

Justine: I think we'd all do the same [as Sali Hughes] if we saw a bitchy thread about one our mates on a forum wouldn't we? We would never talk about other Mumsnetters in the way we sometimes do of slebs/columnists. Everyone would take a very dim view and rightly so.

Actually, no. I have a friend who's in a similar position (in the public eye, but not a showbiz personality or someone who courts publicity) and I've seen her being slagged off on here. It's upsetting, because I know she's lovely and I know she'd be hurt if she saw it, but I wouldn't say anything if the post didn't contain anything libellous or reportable. Free speech innit. I have, however, put the slaggers off on my Shit List and at some point they will RUE THE DAY

GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan · 27/11/2012 19:06

I do agree though that any one of us would pile in and defend our mumsnet mates if they were getting slagged off, and that's for people we may not have met. So I don't blame Sali for coming on to stick up for her real life friend. I think its pretty laudable actually. And I am not just saying that because I agree with Sali re Laura Mercier eyeshadows.

I also still stand that if a mumsnetter had said that about Liz J we would all have laughed like drains.

The fact that Sali Hughes reignited this zombie thread shows that IK has a book coming outknows it exists and that can only be a good thing. Perhaps she'll realise that she comes across as a total imbecile on Twitter. In these days where employers look at someone's social media profile before they get recruited, it always surprises me that these so-called slebs are prepared to make themselves look like such idiots with their outpourings and utter bile.

Recently, IK posted on Twatter how much she loves her kids in one post followed up by what a 'cunt' Barney the dinosaur is in the next one. I'm sure her kids just love reading her stream of consciousness. "hey kids, read this - it says how much I love you on Twitter!"

Just as an aside really, I'm sure its possible to love your children and think Barnie the dinosaur is a cunt. Otherwise almost nobody would love their children.

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 27/11/2012 19:46

HOW did I miss this twist?

BTW, India and Sali x, I was DEFENDING you. Apart from the indefensible, the mentals etc. Not so much that. So I want to be BFF with y'all now. I shall move to Primrose Hill
And I will learn to tweet and shizzle. We can have sleepovers And learn to crochet, togevver. And perhaps buy Astral, I kind of missed the last word on that. Yay or Nay?

Holla, WHO? I bet I was one of the slaggers

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 27/11/2012 19:47

Tbf Barney IS a cunt. A big, smug, purple cunt.

btw JizJones, WHY are you not JizLoans? Was it taken?

Vagabond · 27/11/2012 19:50

For sure Oaty, love for sprogs and bad juju towards Barney are not mutually exclusive. Obvs.

OP posts:
Vagabond · 27/11/2012 19:51

Oh, lordy, why did I mention Barney?

OP posts:
OatyBeatie · 27/11/2012 19:53

It might have been a mistake. He is notoriously litigious.

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 27/11/2012 19:59

Just don't slag The Wiggles. Those bitches will hunt you DOWN.

Vagabond · 27/11/2012 20:18

I just wish India Knight herself would have the guts to come on here like Sali Hughes did and answer all the questions about why she's so unreasonable about MH issues and calling people "mentals".

Would quite like to see that.

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 27/11/2012 20:19

how did i miss THIS??!! Shock

seriously, if we're not allowed to comment on the appearance/weight gain of someone marketing an 'idiot proof' diet...

Vagabond · 27/11/2012 20:20

Oh, Aitch, we did miss you on this thread!

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 27/11/2012 20:21

i'm sure i was on it further down, it's just the resurrection that passed me by.

GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan · 27/11/2012 21:06

I must say that I wish I hadn't discovered Sali's Guardian make up videos. I had to do something incredibly important for work and worked from home to finish it, but pissed about all day and then discovered the Sali make up tips. Hours later I was too exhausted to contemplate working and went to play with my make up twat so had to finish the work task in a fret at about 2am.

SantasStrapOn · 27/11/2012 21:10

I used to fancy Geoff Wiggle. At least I think it was Geoff...? Hmm

Southeastdweller · 27/11/2012 22:33

As I'm the one who posted the now deleted thread about India Knight's column from last month, I wanted to clear up Sali Hughes' comment that Alastair Campbell misquoted I.K, the one that the Huffington Post published.

I said up thread that as a subscriber to the Times I'd check what was actually said by India - I've now re-read India's column as well as what he wrote in his blog. He categorically did not misquote her at all.

To be clear, Sali - you got this wrong.

I hope that in the interests of clarity and fairness, MN doesn't delete this post.

Southeastdweller · 27/11/2012 22:34

Name changed, by the way.

BupcakesAndCunting · 28/11/2012 09:04

Did Sali Hughes (can we PLEASE stop referring to her as just 'Sali'?! Pleeeeeeeeeeeease?) insinuate that she found out about this thread around the time that she posted on it? Because if that's the case, how did she know about the personal jibes against India, seeing as they got deleted the same day they were posted? Confused Or if she DID know about them at the time, why did she choose to comment on them now?

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 28/11/2012 10:10

ooooooooooooh. yars.

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 28/11/2012 17:52

Jeepers, Bups is channelling Columbo. Nice mac.
Maybe India has the thread saved to fume over at her leisure? And shared it with her secret Facebook group?

It is OK to call her Sali x AS LONG as you have the x. That's like a surname.
