The Mermology video is hilarious!

Can't wait to see her reaction video about cyber bullying blah blah blah

Bruv is calling out Boris on his Insta Stories for reopening pubs and a rise in Covid cases in London yesterday, criticising social distancing and coming out of isolation. The irony of his own behaviour - going to a party last week, travelling between London and Wales consistently when he has an extremely sick and vulnerable sister is clearly lost on him....

Plus Bruv constantly filming Castle’s son despite him protesting and asking him to stop. Followed by him walking the dog and laughing as it chased sheep round the field. Lucky the farmer didn’t shoot it. He has no moral compass does he?

Hob dancing, chasing sheep ... the fun never starts does it?

The sense of entitlement that Bruv has, never fails to amaze me.

• Complaining about people travelling on the train.....whilst travelling on a train??

• Travelling back and forth between Wales and London, which is against the law and seeing his very poorly sister

• Complaining about pubs being opened, just a week after he attended a house party which was probably worse in terms of social distancing, than the pubs that opened this weekend.

• Allowing the dogs to chase the sheep.....and laughing

• And let's not forget Hobgate

Why does he seem to think that laws and rules don't apply to him? If he shows such disregard for the government, then I'm certain he has zero morals when it comes to being truthful about his business. He has no business to speak of. All the people he features on his stories, are his sisters gem and successes. People like him make me so angry

I also love how there is more information on the anti MLM movement on youtube, than when I was looking for info to quit.
The only one I don't agree with as much as some of the others, is savannah Marie. She claims to be anti MLM yet has said in one of her video that she is in a MLM

I've watched a bit of Savannah Marie today. I think she said she has been involved in 2 mlms previously.
I'm having lots of fun on a health/fitness group calling out mlms. One beachbody hun tried to argue with me this morning then blocked me when she couldn't win. Typical!

He’s also got the room over the garage. Was that not for his poor parents ?

That's just reminded me....on Castle's story (or it might have been Bruv's??) a few days ago they showed their Dad clearing some ground behind the garage and they said it was for the parents' lodge.

They also showed the dad measuring the width of the lane to see if it would fit when being delivered.

Seeing those posts also made me wonder what happened to Castle's caravan lodge that she bought as a holiday home. I'm surprised that they haven't been backwards and forwards to that during lockdown!

So basically, Castle's parents are reduced to living in a caravan in the yard while the kids piss away their hard-earned money on 'attraction marketing' lifestyles?

They basically are enablers, enabling some seriously spoilt children (I don't get the impression they were particularly spoilt pre FLP fame, it's really changed them). I'm reserving some judgement on CastleSis, she's always seemed much less "look at me" than her siblings.

The castle clan are openly spending their parents money and have no shame in that.

If they are the inspiration for people to look up to, then the world has gone mad.

They have no redeeming features, no originality, and come across as the mean girls mentality, still.

I can only imagine that their house of cards is very very finely balanced and could come tumbling down at any time. They are not investing the money wisely, she is spending it on £2k exercise bikes to show off on Instagram, clearly she is not using it.

This may appear harsh, but when they are roping people into their sham of a 'business' on the basis of their lifestyle, they deserve to be called out.

Does anyone know much about Just Strong? My SIL is in the process of being a brand ambassador or some such “job” and I’m just wondering if it’s a good idea and how much crap I can expect to get as a result of this new “career” she is a SAHM so no other income providing job - not trying to sound bad against stay at home mums but just so you know that this has more time to devote to this company

I wonder if castle's lodge is the one being moved for their parents to live in?

I like the castle's parents. I feel like they are just two people who really love their kids and would do anything for them. They clearly are a close family and want to spend as much time together as possible. Living in a lodge enables them to do that.

I also agree, sis is much more humble and doesn't seem to have changed.

I really hope their parents won't regret haemorrhaging their money. They're only young and have a long time ahead of them.

FL is reducing. Their income is reducing and they can't sustain the lifestyle that they are portraying for long, without getting into trouble financially. Especially bruv. He's renting a very expensive apartment, but his CCs suggest that he's really not earning anywhere enough to pay for that long term.

I wonder what Bruv’s salary is from his actual paid J.O.B. at Forever Living?

@Spongebobette that’s the million dollar question, although I suspect a J.O.B as a Forever Living employee won’t make him a millionaire.

@Dashel A friend of mine has signed up to Just Strong too. It's just affiliate marketing (getting people to buy through your link) from what I can gather so that you make a small amount of money. They do that in return for one social media post advert a month I believe.

Thanks @acatcalledjohn I’m glad it doesn’t sound so bad. I already have friends who are living their best lives ever with a Herbalife and it’s now like they are in a cult.

I should add that this friend doing Just Strong is ex FLP and never got anywhere, nor did her upline global business coach pub manager.

I knew the parents would end up in the caravan. What happens when Castle loses that house? They will all be homeless.

I don’t believe Savannah Marie is still in an MLM. AFAIK she got burned pretty badly by the ones she tried. I wish she wouldn’t do the testing of MLM products though. The only real place for them is in the bin.
