And the thing with Pearson is that she absolutely knows the power of words, the duty of people with a profile, and the law on the boundaries. But the lure of notoriety and money means she chooses to crush any shrivelled remnants of a former soul, disgusted by every facet of what she has now become.
As you know, I LOVE keeping the receipts.

A mum to 7 children, but how many different dads?
Free Speech Absolutism for me not for thee - Free Speech "Heroes" of the right. Or in more simple Language: She can sure dish it out but she can't take it can she? What a melt 🫠
At the moment they are viewed as a group of oddballs, a joke, but so was Trump and so was Hitler and if you think I’m being too extreme in that sentence look at what the once civilised country of America has become in a very short time.
Allison Pearson = A simply appalling woman.
So much to unpack here. I can guess 99% but I’m intrigued by the Doug Stanhope angle. BRB I’ve got some googling to do…

Does a more ghastly cohort of ignorant people exist!
I recall there being a moderate* cringe at "Blair's Babes". And that was in 1997. *that was in 1997.
