Thelma's Gypsy Girls

[MrsJoeDuffy]

anyone watching?

" the good news is we are taking on 10 girls, the bad news is they are travellers"

Just what I thought!

What's wrong with Thelma's face?? And eyes?

dodgy facelift?

I think this is going to be better than the Mary Portas programme as it's not just employment she is looking to tackle by the looks of things its basic literacy/numeracy and going against cultural norms.

Must be? Bottom of her cheeks don't move?

patronising, much?? She probably has them on there workfare or whatever its called. Exploiting cow, ive just switched it off

pays well, making dresses then!

It's tosh really is

how old is she?

I actually don't know. I felt better when she went on about being a single mum, then prison came up and I'm like

What did she say she went to prison for please? I just missed it

Benefit fraud.

doggie given their age they are not likely to be able to claim benefits and even if they were old enought you are making a massive presumption that they are claiming never mind Thelma's motives/ having them on workfare which to me seem genuine and non patronising.

Ahh thank you

Her face isn't right... You'd think she'd make a effort

By getting these girls away from what their community expects from then isn't Thelma going to piss the community off ?

Hand that feeds you etc. ....

travellers are too smart for workfare.

It was my way of saying that she wont be forking out of her own pocket to pay those girls, even if they do get paid, it is just a massive publicity stunt for her and the makers of the program. I doubt they are on workfare, i doubt they will get anything apart from exploited. My point was not about them being on benefits FFS!! could you have misinterpreted my post any more? I think its more likely that channel 4 are the biggest exploiters here.

I remember a few years ago they wanted my DD to take part in a program about teenage sexual habits (my daughter had a boyfriend and they were "waiting" but DD had had sex with other BFs) they wanted her to talk about this on the telly. She needed my permission, which i would not give, the bloody cow from CH4 didn't want to take no for an answer and got really nasty, kept phoning and phoning, even after i said "i have thought about this an no, i do not want my daughter to take part" she told me she couldnt believe i was preventing my DD from taking advantage of a brilliant opportunity!! WTAF???

well said Mollydogerson!

I don't understand what's going on. Have to watch it again from the start.

I just cant be bothered with this anymore, its been done to death.

looking at her , her makeup is ageing her

does anyone know her age..i am intirgued..with a 7 yr old

I am guessing mid 50's

doggie I think my interpretation of your post was to be expected given what you said.

I don't blame you for refusing to let your daughter be on the programme and the fact that it was seen as failing to take up an 'opportunity' beggars belief.

To be honest this is essentially no different to Mary Portas' programme.

Well it's not The Apprentice is it ?

margaret's in cos she's good telly
