Just seems like a disgracefully ignorant racist:

He may have finished with her 'romantically' as he puts it silly old fool for getting together with her in the first place but he vehemently said he would be continuing to support her family as she is distraught. WTF does that mean? He can't mind her out and out racism that much then can he?

Battleax · 15/01/2018 15:43

The uk is still deeply racist.

Some Britons are still very racist.

Some (more) are strongly anti-racist.

You have to hang on to the fact that people like her are a minority. Otherwise we'd be in a worse state than we are.

crossparsley · 15/01/2018 16:05

she looks NORMAL. She's a human and we all look like humans. Some of us are stunning (like MM) and most of us aren't.

She is HORRIBLE. And STUPID and INADEQUATE and HATEFUL. The last two at least are connected.

Can we stop getting down to her level on looks?

TheFirstMrsDV · 15/01/2018 16:34

I am not one to comment on a woman's looks but in this case they are not irrelevant are they?
If someone sets them up part of a superior white race and calls black people ugly the way they look becomes relevant.

I don't think she is ugly. She is certainly not classy and she does look older than 25.
That she may be lying about her age is also relevant. Again, she thinks she is morally superior to non whites.

So we have a lying, rough looking talentless nobody making pronouncements on the looks, morality and talent of others.

I am pretty sure the 'taken out of context' comments were made because she doesn't know what it means. She has heard it said in other cases and is simply repeating it.

Yet again proving that racists are thick.

AndhowcouldIeverrefuse · 15/01/2018 16:50

That she may be lying about her age is also relevant.

Yes I read the comments about looks and age in terms of her perhaps lying about her age, which would show:

Dishonesty
Lack of intelligence

Which adds to the general picture.

He has refused to answer any questions on the sexual assault and murder of his daughter. If heaven forbid it were my child. I'd answer any damn question that was put my way. The fact that he is refusing to speaks volumes that he his hiding something.
Also laptops do not just go missing. Theyre not little tiny pockets size things are they. If we were to give the benefit of the doubt for a fraction of a second.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/01/2018 17:05

FFS wrong thread, sorry peeps.

Fekko · 15/01/2018 17:05

Wrong thread?

Fekko · 15/01/2018 17:06

S’ok I think I know the one you meant

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/01/2018 17:06

Yeah, bloody daft bastard.

grannytomine · 15/01/2018 17:30

The problem with going on about how she looks is it feeds into the belief that good people are attractive and you can tell bad people by how they look. Very attractive people can murder you, rape you, rob you. If you think how many times people are amazed that they didn't recognise that someone was a rapist or murderer because they didn't look like one, yes like rapists all have it tattooed across their forehead.

By the same token someone who is "ugly" can be a good kind person and no it isn't true that what you are on the inside is reflected in your face.

TheFirstMrsDV · 15/01/2018 18:13

This is not an actress who is being slagged of for wearing the wrong frock.
She is a woman who considers herself superior to non white people in every way.
So her looks, honesty, intelligence and morals are relevant.

If you are going to pass comment on the ugliness of an entire group of people you had better be prepared that people are going to critique your own appearance.

CharizMa · 15/01/2018 19:29

It only highlighted her self-delusion and jealousy to criticise meghan's looks.
Also, 8 (?) seasons on a successful show. It wasnt cancelled after the pilot!!

FurCoatFurKnickers · 15/01/2018 19:41

Whilst those texts clearly contain horrific undeniable racism, there is something completely weird about the format of them which makes me wonder whether someone took her phone and wrote them.

Oh please. If someone else sent those texts why would she apologise for sending them?

CharizMa · 15/01/2018 19:45

Yeh she'd be angrily denying it if she hadnt sent them.

DreamyMcDreamy · 15/01/2018 20:14

Utterly foul, vile creature.

QueenOfTheAndals · 15/01/2018 20:35

Wait, they had their first date on Boxing Day? That hardly makes her his girlfriend - it's barely a relationship!

WellThisIsShit · 16/01/2018 09:43

Foul. What a foul piece of flesh. I’m strugglong with a noun as I don’t want to call her woman, as I don’t want to suggest any group affiliation or shared characteristics! Or human too, as it’s too depressing that this type of behaviour and attitude is part of being human. But I guess it is. Just like other acts of hate, that just need a spark of violence to turn into war, rape, murder, torture, genocide.

It’s so bloody depressing. I hate the world sometimes.

gunsandbanjos · 16/01/2018 10:29

I’ve got food in my fridge older than their ‘relationship’.

Shineystrawberrylover · 16/01/2018 10:37

She's a nasty irrelevant gold digger who is desperate for attention. She has it, well notoriety. But she's ten a penny. She could be the next Katie Hopkins as the dm must be missing that line of shockingly vile clickbait.

PerkingFaintly · 16/01/2018 11:04

So he's known her for 5 minutes.

But he's merely saying "the romantic element of our relationship should end", and also he'll stand by her and her family.

Unless I've missed it, he still hasn't repudiated her views.

Fekko · 16/01/2018 20:51

I’ve just realised who she reminds me of - Tilda Swinton (sorry Tilda).

And he left his 3rd wife for her? He must have some charisma...

FurCoatFurKnickers · 16/01/2018 21:50

I’ve just realised who she reminds me of - Tilda Swinton

Noooooo! I bloody love Tilda Swinton. I'll never look at her in the same way again Sad

Sorry. Or David Bowie?

Thank you, mental imagery readjusted.
