No. Is it a way of dampening down a thread?

Roussette · 01/09/2018 12:53

I did laugh at someone's reply to her tweet...
"She is writing a new book with her sister Linda about how to cheat the benefit system whilst pretending you didn’t know what you are doing ! Sure to be a best seller !!"

MarthasGinYard · 01/09/2018 12:57

Wasn't Linda's late husband the one who Stole money backstage out frank Carson's dressing room and was filmed doing so?

I remember that whole debacle about that.

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 12:57

Roussette I meant the countdown to her announcement has been going for 6 weeks. Was put on in July.

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 13:01

I knew nothing about LN late husband being a thief and a benefit cheat before this whole debacle. They ought to be careful throwing stones from their glass houses!

Roussette · 01/09/2018 13:04

Ahhh OK Everyone I don't follow her on Twitter and had no idea. Can she still do this stupid thing whatever it is. I am so surprised she is carrying on as normal like nothing has happened.

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 13:05

CN is getting some really bad PR advice. Overtime she tweets she stirs it up again. It must be her, no professional would keep on like that.

Roussette · 01/09/2018 13:05

Linda Nolan was the benefit cheat and it was a lot of money! She pretended she didn't know she had to declare her earnings. Like... yeah.... whatever... the whole population knows but you don't??!

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 13:06

No I don't either but someone posted a link on this thread when in started,

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 13:06

Every time not overtime!

rainbowsandsmiles · 01/09/2018 13:10

That was posted on twitter an hour ago. She obviously hasn't got a clue and is just carrying on as normal

According to her official Twitter page, she doesn't do her own social media on there, she has someone doing it for her.
She seriously needs to re-think who, as they're doing her absolutely no favours whatsoever by first making a big joke out of it and now it seems carrying on as normal and pretending nothing's happened!

Roussette · 01/09/2018 13:17

A PR firm can't be that stupid, it has to be her, it really has!

Tink1990 · 01/09/2018 13:18

I dont feel sorry for kim. I think she is a nasty bitter lady. However, i do think one of her loved ones should get her the help she so clearly needs. And she should not be on tv as she is vulnerable.

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 13:20

I agree it' she Roussette as it comes over in the same way as her son's account. Very reactive.

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 13:20

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 13:22

Tink It wasn't fair though. 4 against 1 with 2 being family with an axe to grind. It was unfair and unprofessional.

Tink1990 · 01/09/2018 13:24

Yes, i do agree with that. Whilst it should not have happened at all, it would have been fairer with just JSP, KW and CN only

RockYourSocksOff · 01/09/2018 13:27

I felt sorry for KW. Uncomfortable viewing.

That’s not to say she was in the right and obviously needs support but the behaviour of the other panellists, especially CN & LN were shocking. The Nolan’s have not faired very well in all of this. I think CN would have been better by herself, her sister just seemed to be there to rev up the hostility but it has loyally backfired!

I did actually like CN, totally different view of her now.

PrickWhittington · 01/09/2018 13:33

Get a grip women

Bloody hell.

Another Graduate from the LW charm academy? Module one - how to provoke/ patronise people without it being too obvious (just in case you need to backtrack). Grin

Pretty sure we not all women, though I'm sure that point has already been made.

picklemepopcorn · 01/09/2018 13:36

Oh Fortuna is from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. It's relatively modern, but based on older themes.

It was used for old spice ads, but also for The Omen (Damien?) I think, and lots of portentous gladiator arriving type moments. It's certainly not music to start a reconciliation with!

PrickWhittington · 01/09/2018 13:56

A PR firm can't be that stupid, it has to be her, it really has!

Or yet another acquaintance who can't stand the woman and can't wait for her to have her arse and P45 handed to her?

I think it is far too late for CN to issue any sort of apology now - it would be too obviously disingenuous after all this time.

I think if she takes any sort of stance, it will be a playing the victim one as she is very good at that. Maybe claims of bullying on twitter etc etc, with a few choice examples (which is one reason why I think some people on twitter should stop the personal insults about CN and stick to just her behaviour). IMHO she will go for a sympathy vote just as she did on the show and CBB. Tears. LN's health. Whatever needs dredging up to achieve her aim.

Does anyone else think ITV/LW's complete lack of acknowledgement let alone apology comes across as breathtaking arrogance from them? It comes across like they are above any form of reproach to me. Awful attitude.

And YY to whoever said LW etc would be discussing the case in detail if it had happened on a different channel to their own. Arrogance AND hypocrisy. Not good.

HelenaDove · 01/09/2018 14:03

ive just seen the twitter feed of someone who says she was badly bullied at school by Roxanne Pallet. Awful.

Roussette · 01/09/2018 14:16

I agree that no one should hurl insults on twitter at CN. Rather defeats the object of what you're trying to say!

Yes, breathtaking arrogance on the part of LW/ITV. The only way to show public feeling is to hit them where it hurts. Their pocket. Who now sponsors LW? I can't remember but I know someone does. A media campaign telling everyone to not buy the product or support the advertiser will work.

LadyRochfordsHoickedGusset · 01/09/2018 14:18

Yy PrickWhittington. You're not Caesar's wife, ITV producers. And we're not going away.

Roussette · 01/09/2018 14:28

Ahhh found it.... here

Yours clothing sponsors LW. I'd boycott them if I'd ever heard of them!
