....she hasn't really got the hang of holding that baby has she?

grin

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 16:21:47

Wouldn't touch Katie Hopkins with a bargepole. Eurgh! [shudder]

I was looking at twitter about the Tommy Robinson thugs attacking the bbc and remain folk and guess who popped up in support of their violence. I clicked on her threads and that just popped up. Hate filled vile fascist.

Remember the days when babies were always held in a lying down position?

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 16:19:38

Minniemoo all babies are different.Some are definitely easier to hold than others.

Here is another one of Cripes Suzettes tweet.

#DuchessMeghan must have been sleeping the day they did "Mother & Baby" in acting class.

Director: You're in a park. You're holding a baby. Go!
Meghan: Line?
Director: Just improvise!
Meghan: (thinking: "I once carried a 10 pound bag of potatoes. Same difference".) Okay. Ready!

I make no comment. And I will not put a grin.

The thing is people see things and now, instead of commenting to friends they go online. The fact is, in those pictures she does look very awkward holding the baby. But this is something we talk about with friends. Work colleagie of mine came in to the office as if she was holding a UXB and never really got the hang of it. She'd just laugh. My sister, (childless) never mastered the holding a baby lark. Now it just gets bandied about on Twitter and the like and all of a sudden people get called vile and horrid etc etc. Now in RL someone may say that so and so holds her baby in a strange way ... there will be agreement. It's not meant nastily. It's just what humans do. Talk about each other.

How long did it take you to find that Katie Hopkins tweet Whitewave? confused

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 16:13:01

The tweet I put up was by someone called Cripes Suzette. No idea who she is. As I say it was retweeted.

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 16:11:50

Her tweet is bitchy. I don't even look at her stuff. hmm

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 16:11:04

1) why is she holding the baby like a slippery haddock

2) why is she dressed in my garden bench cover?

3) why are we paying for this person?

That is not the tweet I put on this thread! The tweet I up was retweeted by a very nice person I follow. I'm pretty sure Katie Hopkins didn't come into it!

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 16:06:42

Eh?!

Whitewavemark2 Thu 11-Jul-19 16:04:28

Ah! I see Katie Hopkins that persona non grata. Supporter of fascism, white supremacy and all things likely to destroy this country. I see now where this is all coming from. Bile filled tweet about the subject.

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 15:47:48

grin I need to know that one.

Callistemon Thu 11-Jul-19 15:32:46

There's another quote which is similar about looking up at the stars but I can't quite remember it - DGD taught it me when she was about 2, it was by Peppa Pig

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 15:30:26

Yes, I like that C. smile

Anniebach Thu 11-Jul-19 15:27:57

In fairness to Megan, she has married a man who has alway
enjoyed pastimes which have never been part of her life .

Polo, shooting, hunting etc, he was country she was town.
I doubt she will enjoy weeks at Balmoral .

Callistemon Thu 11-Jul-19 15:25:22

I got it slightly wrong:

'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.'

Callistemon Thu 11-Jul-19 15:22:58

What makes you think I am "in the gutter"?!
What's the saying?

"In the gutter but looking up at the stars" wink

Beammeupscottie Thu 11-Jul-19 15:20:25

I think I know what Gonegirl means. M looks as if she is bored with the whole thing and is clinging to her baby for comfort; that was my instant personal impression. The baby would have been cooler in his basket or with his nanny back home. Mind you, she is going through staff like library books, so perhaps new nanny is just that; too new.

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 14:20:44

Yeah, cos she's reading this all the time isn't she Nico97! grin

Gets dafter.

Anniebach Thu 11-Jul-19 14:05:21

Megan bash ? Rubbish

Nico97 Thu 11-Jul-19 14:00:22

Light hearted or not Gonegirl you surely must have realised that it would turn into a Meghan bash ? You post earlier that you actually think she tries too hard, she probably does in an effort to avoid some of the hurtful comments such as those in a lot of the GN threads or elsewhere. Give the lass a break.

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 13:55:49

Deadly's right. Pure poison!

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 13:55:06

There is a lovely picture of Kate kissing Louis Ab at the same match. I will see if I can find it.

trisher Thu 11-Jul-19 13:54:23

That might be what you hoped Gonegirl but some posters are deadly serious!!!!
