I wonder if this will become the 'Gerald Ratner' moment for Mumsnet? By having such close links to the Fail I think they are attracting a different type of poster/member.

As opposed to the Penis Beaker recruits?

Oh lord.. Poor Puzzled.

This must be a nightmare for her. I hope there aren't too many repercussions from this.

Jeez.......... I've just seen Sky News discussing it (Eamonn Holmes reviewing the papers). Shock

Heart picked it up as well.

WhoremoaneeGrainger · 11/05/2016 08:50

And its in the M**l online this morning. With screenshots of the original post and some of the replies. Yep. Some Mnetters are in print!

ChocolateBubbleBarsmakemefat · 11/05/2016 08:50

Bloody hell it's just been on Heart radio station. Time for a name change Puzzled.

Bambambini · 11/05/2016 08:51

Oh well, lives can be ruined with this shit - but as long as it gives folk a giggle.

WhoremoaneeGrainger · 11/05/2016 08:52

I actually think they had a damned cheek publishing names. That's why i posted it so people can check for themselves and then decide whether to namechange.

bewarethewalkers · 11/05/2016 08:53

Just heard this being discussed on Heart Essex with a phone in asking people what they would have done in response to the email!

Lweji · 11/05/2016 08:54

Actually, the OP had a problem.
Pps kept not reading the thread.
The DM picked on the thread, lazy journalism that they do.
Other news picked on it.
It's hardly the fault of any pps. Except the DM journos.

MLGs · 11/05/2016 09:04

Oh God, poor OP. Why on earth should a thing like this be published widely?

LocalEditorEssex · 11/05/2016 09:05

This was talked about on Heart Essex this morning.

not the first time they have taken content from MN

HibernoCaledonian · 11/05/2016 09:23

On Irish national radio now. No names mentioned but I did giggle because someone texted in to suggest cancelling the cheque. Grin

PuppyMonkey · 11/05/2016 09:40

Just making sure I am the first person to point out that it's on This Morning and Loose Women too. I mean, i don't know for sure if it will be, but I want to be the first to say if for posterity. Grin
