Ok so im not usually a bitch. But Tina Malone has gone on tv saying she cant afford to take her kids to Disneyland because she has this huge fine to pay for outing the James Bulger killer . So fucking what. Boo hoo love. You made the mistake. You did it. Pay the fine and shut up. So many of us cant even afford a caravan holiday because of the shite this country is in. Who cares. Boils my piss. I would love to give my ds a real holiday just once in his short life. Im sure if she sells herself enough she could afford it this time next year. Sometimes people need to take what life has given you on the chin and get on with it.

How dare she complain, she should have had some thought before posting about Jamie bulger

GetStrongKeepFighting · 19/03/2019 17:13

She 7is an embarrassment

ALongHardWinter · 19/03/2019 17:13

What did she do? Sorry,must have missed that one.

Foslady · 19/03/2019 17:13

Wow - so she’s spent all the money she made from the new drama already?
Some kids never get a holiday Tina

  • suggest when they ask why you tell them because mum fucked up and has been punished rather than I couldn’t get enough sympathy for a newspaper to pay for it (be interesting to see if the Sun pays for it if she’ll go.....)
PortiaCastis · 19/03/2019 17:17

Stupid woman, no luvvie I do not feel sorry for you. Do the crime pay the fine and stfu

ChicCroissant · 19/03/2019 17:17

Tina Malone, the woman who didn't know what she was doing was illegal? The same Tina Malone who was an ambassador of the James Bulger Trust? I think she knew what she was doing, ignore the crocodile tears!

pictish · 19/03/2019 17:17

I don’t have any opinion about Tina Malone but anyone who thinks not being able to go to Disney is a measure of poverty has their head up their backside.

Petalflowers · 19/03/2019 17:18

Reading up on this (didn’t know who she was), I wondered whether everyone who had shared the picture and information also got a fine, who was she singled out because she’s a celeb?

Just a passing thought.

TheFairyCaravan · 19/03/2019 17:18

The ironic thing is her new drama, which she kept plugging, is set in a women's prison and is called The Clink!

sagradafamiliar · 19/03/2019 17:19

'Boo hoo' is exactly what sprang to mind when I saw it.

Petalflowers · 19/03/2019 17:19

Sorry, just read Chic’s comment about being an a,bassour for the JB Trust, so she knew what she was doing.

My post above is not trying to justify her actions or defend them, but wondered everyone got the same treatment.

Alloftheboys · 19/03/2019 17:22

She was also caught with cocaine in her handbag while doing panto.
Don’t have any sympathy for her.

From nine years ago.

Shameless actor Sean Gilder, who plays gangster Paddy Maguire, has Sean Gilder decided to quit the Channel Four drama. The actor will bow out later this year after four years in the hit Channel Four drama. The actor is the latest to quit the series; actresses Rebecca Ryan who played Debbie Gallagher decided to quit the drama and did not return for the seventh season – currently airing on Channel Four. The character’s absence was explained away with Debbie supposedly having joined the army. Ryan was an original cast member in Shameless having appeared since its first episode. Actress Dystin Johnson, who played lesbian truckie Norma, also didn’t return for the seventh season for her absence has yet to be explained on-screen.

The Sun alleges that actor Sean Gilder quit the drama because of disputes between his co-star Tina Malone who plays Mimi Maguire but a spokesperson for Shameless denied this was the case The actor made his first appearance in the drama in a season two episode in 2005 reappearing again in 2006 in a season three episode. It wasn’t until the start of season four in 2007 that the actor became a regular on the series following the departures of actors Maxine Peake, Dean Lennox Kelly, Jack Deam and Gillian Kearney in their respective roles.

Couldn't agree with you more.

We've not had a holiday for 5 years. Not likely to have one ever again.

Birdsgottafly · 19/03/2019 17:33

Petalflowers, no they didn't. She's been singled out because she's involved in the JB Trust.

The image was still circulating when she shared it.

brizzlemint · 19/03/2019 17:36

Sometimes people need to take what life has given you on the chin and get on with it.

Especially when it's their own fault in the first place.

Birdsgottafly · 19/03/2019 17:40

Yes we get it, she's the devil incarnate.

You'd think she'd kipnapped a toddler, sexually assaulted him and killed him.

Or been in possession of child abuse images.

Or even was drunk driving, like the cleb whose just won an award.

Barbarafromblackpool · 19/03/2019 17:42

Her kid is called Flame. Says it all really.

Thays how she and many others feel about Venables.

I think the sentence was a bit harsh given that the same info is pretty easy to find with google.

thedisorganisedmum · 19/03/2019 17:49

she chose the wrong example

It's a disgrace that she was so harshly punished for that, law is protecting criminals in this country. It's outrageous.

Of course, she will only attract hatred from the "we haven't been on holiday in 20 years and we are lucky if you can afford a treat for the kids once every year" and the ridiculous competition.

Her punishment is completely disproportionate and ridiculous.

HollowTalk · 19/03/2019 17:50

But the thing is that James' mum and dad want the photo out there, don't they?

Didn't you read what the OP wrote?

Tina Malone said she can't afford to take her kids to Disneyland because she has a huge fine to pay. It has sweet fa to do with the bankers and David Cameron.

Ravenesque · 19/03/2019 17:51

She knows that identifying either of the boys is a crime and she chose to do it. If she didn't want to be fined or go to prison, then she should have thought a bit longer about it. It's not as though she was ignorant of the injunction. I'm guessing she thought that because she's a "celebrity" who's all about "little Jamie" she'd get off with a slapped wrist. Tough.
