VB is apparently furious and has had the worse year of her life. Must be hard in that 4 million pound Cotswold mansion.

They're not helping themselves are they ?

If she had had a look through this thread the road out of there would be clear. But hey keep digging that hole....

This is so frustrating when people claiming universal credit are told they have too much in savings to get any help yet the likes of the beckhams and Richard Branson dont have to put their hands in their pockets to save their own business?
Not that I buy anything from her but I shall definitely avoid in the future.

Victoria sack your PR. That said they are probably scared to confront her with reality. Halo polishing now only works if it's a real halo. One of the few good things to have come out of this terrible situation. Apprently fashion houses are on their uppers.

B1rdbra1n · 26/04/2020 12:03

Victoria Beckham is starting to look a bit like Trump....

Victoria sack your PR

According to that DM piece (I need to shower after clicking that link), she doesn’t need to sack her PR because she can’t keep one. It looks as if she’s been advised not to this but just wouldn’t listen.

I wonder how they managed to get a picture of her smiling? They must be like hens’ teeth.

The Beckhams are despicable, the lawsuit where he used a technicality to stop him getting a driving ban summed it up for me, ie we are above the law and better than the little people - vile.

B1rdbra1n · 26/04/2020 13:14

The little people who shelled out all the money that made them rich, the little people who supported them and put them where they are

I've never forgotten the maxim there are always poorer people happier than you, ask yourself why ? For those always wanting more when is enough enough ?

Viviennemary · 26/04/2020 14:01

Absolutely can't stand the greedy selfish woman. The worst day of her life when her greed is exposed. Lucky her.

southeastdweller · 26/04/2020 14:19

I wonder if this may be the story that finally damages Brand Beckham, the brand that's weathered his alleged dalliances, the knighthood email debacle, pimping out 12 year old Romeo to be a Burberry model, the tax dodging...

The “worst year” of her life? Even worse than when her husband was tomcatting in Madrid? Wow. It must have been bad!

Alsohuman · 26/04/2020 14:27

I think the “worst year” narrative is indicative of what a sheltered life she leads and what a princess she is. If this is the nadir she hasn’t had much to complain about before.

Quite....

It's bad enough doing this (and why wasn't it obvious that it would go down badly?) but talk about doubling down and whining about the public response.

It's shows a deep sense of entitlement and reflects very badly on the pair of them - selfish buggers.

carbuncleonapigsposterior · 26/04/2020 17:35

I suspect VB wouldn't have got as much stick as she has ,if she didn't boast via her very public postings and keep promoting her pretty unremarkable kids. She's just about the most vulgar c'leb around, which kind of contradicts this farcical classy "wannabe" that she simultaneously tries to promote. She's far too conspicuous that's her problem, in that she's not that different to Katie Price.

Happygirl79 · 26/04/2020 18:00

It says it all when she sees nothing wrong with expecting the taxpayer to pay to furlough costs for her staff
Spoilt and totally out of touch with the real world we live in
More money than sense and greedy with it!

Ed Sheehan shows how it's done but then we always knew he was a nice guy. It's too late for VB whatever she does now so probably to best keep on taking the furlough money. Whatever will she do next?

A loss making vanity project that provides jobs. And is not the only loss maker out there or the only firm with a wealthy owner using the scheme.

Be mad at the government for making the scheme too widespread.

megletthesecond · 28/04/2020 07:41

I'd forgotten about the spice girls tax avoiding year. It was in that Geri documentary.

vera99 · 28/04/2020 09:31

Given that many of us here ar virtually boycotting VB (though most would never have bought any of her stuff either !) I feel a shout out to good guy Ed Sheerhan's eatery in Notting Hill deserves a mention where he is paying staff salaries in full for the duration with no recourse to public funds.

VB's been very quiet on instagram this past week, just a few pics of dresses where the top comments are calling her out over this. None of the usual 'kisses' family pics.

STAY AT HOME, SAVE LIVES, CRITICIZE THE BECKHAMS
