To be annoyed with India Knight?

Column in last week's Sunday Times Style magazine by India Knight talking about a life changing at home facial that best of all costs £6...

She then goes on to add that you can buy it from a discount subscription service that costs £10 a month to join.

So excited was her by the review I googled the product. I can ONLY see it for sale via subscription only websites, no trace of it for sale for the rrp of £50 and whilst I can find a couple of other products by that brand for sale full price I can't see that the 'brand' actually has a website.

I know these articles are usually who can bribe the writer the best but this feels like a particularly cheap shot, she's basically done a TK MAXX on me and I feel a bit let down.

But now worse of all I don't believe her when she says my face will be "fresh, plumped, dewy, rosy, youthful"

Oh. Well I don't want to get sued and the whole issue is a waste of energy that I have no strong feelings about so I retract my statement about backhanders and apologise unreservedly.

YANBU. Can't really comment on the face thingy but India Knight is awful.

Is she still with that Eric Joyce ex MP bloke?

I think she's great ! Love her books, mostly agree with her on everything. Love her dog book.

I think journalists have a responsibility to give accurate information about the products they are writing about. So if something is only available at X price if you subscribe and spend a further X amount on additional products, then that info ought to be in the original article. Otherwise it is lazy journalism.
