Could her trousers be rolled up? How can you tell that the bandage is over the top of it?

Olddear · 25/07/2016 08:28

Even rolled up, I doubt she'd get her trousers over it!

Brilliant. Economic underclass at their best, loved the other parents diving in to give her a kicking.

Brandonstarkflakes · 25/07/2016 10:08

Some of the comments are a bit mean, but I did chuckle at

Inch-high snapper strikes again! Makes me wonder what they mount the camera on nowadays to get such low angle shots... I can cross Roomba off my list of possibilities.

Huh?!

My heart goes out to the poor fish having to share living space with those two. I do hope the three-second memory thing is true, for their sake.

Nervous there is a huge lump at the top of her leg where her trousers are rolled up and bandage has been hurriedly put on on top of them in time for reporter coming😆

Olddear · 25/07/2016 11:50

Love how the daughter has put a protective hand on her mothers leg. And shouldn't that bandage start from her toes....if it was real that is

FreshwaterSelkie · 25/07/2016 12:02

arf! That is genius!

I properly lolled at the Roomba comment.

SistersOfPercy · 25/07/2016 13:16

Oh God stop. It's the first day of the 6 week holidays and I have a list of things to accomplish.
Sitting on the sofa laughing my arse off at these isn't on that list.

My DD tore her ligaments doing PE at school. The doctor at hospital didn't strap it up at all, she was given crutches and told to rest it.

nuttymango · 25/07/2016 18:02

When my DD tore her ligaments a few years ago she needed an operation and a plaster cast, it depends one which ligaments you damage and how, it took nearly two years for DD to be back to normal.

Pasithea · 25/07/2016 18:22

No professional would bandage a leg like that.

Olddear · 25/07/2016 18:24

Maybe Della done it for her out of spite......

The synonym comment...

"I think you mean pseudonym"
"Thanks for the tip, but there are two ways of spelling it"

Ah-ha-ha-ha. I love it when people get snitty about someone being uneducated and then come out with a gem like that Grin

e1y1 · 25/07/2016 18:53

Haha,

Doesn't seem society holds them in the highest regards in their parts.

Got to admit, it is screaming compo.

RamsayBoltonsConscience · 25/07/2016 18:55

Loved it when the Pothole commented as well. I also liked the synonym comment :D

Marysunshine · 25/07/2016 18:57

Why does the woman need a paramilitary escort?

KittensandKnitting · 25/07/2016 19:00

I saw this on Angry People in Local Newspapers (my favourite Facebook page ever) and the comments are classic, especially about the camouflaged invisible daughter.

I don't have Facebook Sad

Ihavenoidea · 25/07/2016 19:01

Since when were flip-flops appropriate footwear for someone with extensive ligament damage? Confused

Fontella · 25/07/2016 19:06

Bandage courtesy of Stevie Wonder ...

This has just properly cheered me up. Really cheered me up.

God I feel for the teachers at that school having to deal with her and her family.
