India Knight

[Bitofanexpert]

I take it mentioning her or her partner is banned.

Can I just say how utterly disgusted I am from learning about the actions of her partner on here- and nearly just as much from the lack of reporting of this by the press and on here too? Disgraceful. The man still has the gall to have a live Twitter account!!!

@AGirlCalledJohnny

For those who asked, this is my response to her Meat Loaf tweet, I’d totally forgotten I’d had to lock my account because of a creepy stalker “men’s rights” troll, so no one could see it but me

I’ve opened it again but took a screen shot for posterity, assume I’ll be blocked imminently,

👏 👏👏👏

Having a writer pronouncing lofty judgements on other women's choice of mascara or childcare arrangements, while ignoring the massive elephant in the room of having a boyfriend convicted of child sex offences, just makes anyone who publishes her work look shallow and ridiculous. I don't know how she can continue without addressing it.

Very difficult to address what's indefensible. It looks as though she would prefer to suppress it and hope any inconvenient questions go away.

On the one hand, I'm not a fan of cancel culture. But I also feel that if you abuse children or facilitate people who abuse children, then no one has to listen to anything you say ever again. 🤷‍♀️ Cognitive dissonance...

I thought she was India Hicks ( Princess Diana's bridesmaid ) when I first read her columns in the Sunday Times - there was no photo accompanying her column then.

I really am gobsmacked if she is still with him.

I don't think a woman who chose to support a convicted paedophile should write about Julia.

Agreed

“So now a potential partner has to be not just a pleasant spouse and promising parent material but also a romantic hero/heroine, a magnificent lover, a best friend, a lifelong companion, a protector, devastatingly attractive, powerfully clever, someone who will hit it off with your tricksy older sister, someone your parents adore, a teacher but willing to learn, a student but willing to teach, a man but in touch with his feminine side or a woman but masculine where required and so on and on and on. Perel says we’re now looking for one person to be the equivalent of an entire village. This poses a problem because, as no person actually is a village, everyone is doomed eventually to be disappointing and disappointed. It would be cleverer to cap one’s requirements somewhere realistic”

Today in the Times India advises us all to drop our standards when it come to looking for a man. Brazenly writing about what is “cleverer” when selecting your child’s father figure. You couldn’t make it up - can’t wait for more advice from her on choosing a man.

Not everyone is doomed to be quite so disappointing as Eric India!!!

She is truly a piece of work.

I had no idea about this and now I feel sick to my stomach.

I just don’t understand how someone, anyone could continue to associate with this man, I really don’t.

Wow. Who on earth thought that India Knight giving relationship advice was a good idea???

" It would be cleverer to cap one’s requirements somewhere realistic”

I don't think it is having unrealistic expectations to expect your life partner to not watch videos of child abuse

Just had a look on Twitter. I know it’s a fictional drama she’s tweeting about but the irony!!

How has she still got her job despite standing by a paedophile?

India has been highly successful in 'capping her requirements' in her own partner.

She certainly isn't wanting 'a village of people'. Just one paedophile will suffice.

How has she still got her job

It is profoundly depressing.

@TartanPunk

How has she still got her job despite standing by a paedophile?

On what legal grounds would she be dismissed?

I cannot imagine climbing into bed with a convicted pedophile, or even looking at them across the dining room table. It makes my skin crawl just thinking about it. How she thinks she is qualified to give advice on finding a man, it just boggles the mind.

My DH is not perfect, but compared to Eric Joyce he is a saint.

On what legal grounds would she be dismissed

I doubt she's employed by the Times, she just writes freelance for them. So they could just stop asking her to do her columns.

I doubt she just rocks up with a column, there will be a contract. So, on what grounds would her contract be cancelled?

I don’t know...no longer relevant for our readership?

I don’t feel a woman should be ‘cancelled’ because something her spouse has done. However, I honestly don’t know how she can stay with him.

I can’t read her frivolous make up tips anymore knowing what I now know.

My guess is everyone at the Sunday Times is also disgusted by her and her awful man, but her step daddy's the boss, so what can they do?

I believe she has a right to be treated as an individual, whatever her partner has done.

Pottedpalm - I understand that, but she's hardly in a position to give any kind of reltionship advice. The fact that she still has her column just doesn't look good for the paper.

Pottedpalm

So, on what grounds would her contract be cancelled?“

If they can demonstrate that she’s damaging business, I expect a good lawyer would find a way.
