Shannon Matthews Mother arrested !!!!!

[kay1981]

They have arrested her on perverting the course of justice - which i think means lying to the police under oath doesnt it?

Is it at all possible that they knew where she was all the time?

Perhaps cahnnel 4 should now re-show the documentary on shannons family and see how it is received knowing what we know.

Yes I agree. Time to go.

Chocfest - Do you only post on this thread? you really should have a look at the other areas of MN too. Just because there are a high number of quick witted, intellectual types on here, you really shouldn't let it intimidate you. I'm sure you'll get by just fine.

byeeeeeee JV so sad your outta here

chocfest

I wouldn't shop at the white company or boden if you paid me. It's all overpriced boring junk, quite a lot of which is made by slave labour just as much as primark clothing, and it's all aimed at people who have no taste whatsoever so they have to be told what to like because they are petrified of looking different.

I don't mind a bit of Boden but only a tiny little bit because the quality is a bit dubious. But I can see its appeal.

What I don't understand is the appeal of the White Company.

ooh. I love the White Company....and everyone says I've got great taste (except madamez obviously)! Not that much stays white round here for long.

are there any ethical chain brands though? Would like to see a list.

Hmmm, now I came back on this thread to post some kind of "lordy are you lot still at it" kind of remark and you all go and steal my thunder by talking nicely about Boden and The Whilte Company.

AAhhhhh that's more like it TMMJ.

Very Daily Mail - mild mannered J !

'face for prison'

maybe she cannot afford her clarins

I agree with Mildmanneredjanitor.

I think some of the stuff that's been said on here about KM is truly vile, though. Spreading this sort of contempt and hatred on MN can do nothing but harm for her children. There are already police warnings out asking for people to avoid vigilante action. We should not be stirring it up on here.

Janni - TMMJ is saying that we should be judging and condemning KM.

I agree with the judging thing too to an extent.

If someone is a shitty parent, Yes, of course I judge them accordingly.
In all honesty someone having 7 kids by many partners does make me think a bit - but it is not enough on it's own for me to assume anything about their character or parenting abilities.

But some of the stuff that has been spouted on this thread has been nothing but gleeful bitching and sniping at it's worst.

I think TMMJ is referring to Alison Pearson here

We make judgements about everything and everyone - that's human. But I don't think we have a right to assume you are a bad parent just because you have x kids by x dads............and actually not many of us do judge just on that.

Most of us think that KM is a bit shit - but really is it just because she has x kids with x dads...........because we don't judge Ulrika (so much) and Rod Stewart (probably at all) so there are lots of factors here - not just the siring of children.

Socio-economic status, gender, likeability etc etc

There are many reasons why she is getting condemned !

I find Alison Pearson abhorrent and narrow mindedness at it's very worst.

She's a pussy cat compared to the late Lynda Lee.

TMMJ-i take it you are with your childhood sweetheart then and have never been cheated on or emotionally or physically abused by a partner?how fucking lovely for you in your ideal lovely rosy world

LOL at Diva's "childhood sweetheart" hyperbole.

Let's look at the ages of KM's children again:

11, 10, 9, 7, 6, 5, and 2.

Does this not look like she hooked up with new guys and got pregnant by them soon after she had the last baby?

I don't think it's rosy or idealised to say that it is not a good thing for a woman to have lots of babies by lots of different fathers.
That doesn't seem particularly controversial.
