That's it really. Mumsnet are appearing on 'This Morning' in the not to distant future, so where do their fees go?

I think there should be a poll on which charity it goes to - don't you?

I suspect your moral crusading about ethical profiteering might be better utilised elsewhere. Were any of your quotes used in this cynical moneymaking ruse of mnhq's? Do you feel exploited?

Ace, you might want to see what Justine said about writing the books here

Really wish I hadn't clicked on this thread...

it's funny, every so often someone pops up to say 'you FOOLS, you realise you're being exploited' and they generally get very pissed off when everybody else has a more sophisticated interpretation of the facts.

I'm not pissed off at all, but I don't agree that everybody else has a 'more sophisticated interpretation of the facts'.

So, the majority opinion is that if mumsnet were to make a profit from mumsnetters by appearing on day-time TV shows,zero percent should go to charity. Shame.

Yes that does seem to be the majority opinion

The samaritans

As they do a brill job.. and some of the people on here should be volunteers cos some of the advice here is fantastic

ace123 - they want mumsnetters to appear on This Morning with them.

Why don't you nominate yourself.

then whatever fee Phil & Fern give to you you are free to give it to the Royal Society for the protection of trolls whatever charity you wish.

I certainly wouldn't appreciate you telling me what I could or should do with any money I had legitimately earnt.

And I very much doubt they are getting paid a bean.

I'm not interested in how mumsnet's hypthetical fee is spent but am wondering what ahundredtimes is going to do with all the cash she'll rake in from those banners? I think we should be told...

jesus what a plank!

mn isn't a charity - if there are fees involved in mntowers going on a tv programme to Promote their new books and website ( and i didn't think thats how things worked) then i hope mntowers give themselves a nice bonus and get wankered
