Their defenders cry is always "it's just tabloid fodder". It isn't.
They are thoroughly dislikeable people who the public can’t stand not because of tabloid fodder, but because of their own actions and what comes out of their own mouths and what they themselves write in their own words. Just one example from Harry’s book - this post from another site says it very well…. ["The bit about the matron is horrible: "Unlike other matrons, Pat wasn't hot. Pat was cold. Pat was small, mousy, frazzled and her hair fell greasily into her always tired eyes. Pat didn't seem to get much joy out of life." Harry goes on to describe that she did enjoy catching boys being naughty and was "empathy challenged" when dealing with boys' minor cuts. He says Pat had many crosses to bear. "The biggest being her knees and spine. The latter was crooked, the former chronically stiff. Walking was hard, stairs were torture. She'd descend backwards, glacially. Often we'd stand on the landing below her, doing antic dances, making faces. Do I need to say who did this with the most enthusiasm?" He doesn't show any remorse but instead excuses it because he did it to make his friends laugh. It's astonishing isn't it that he can write this with no deeper reflection on how the poor woman must have felt to have him mock her and that her laughter might have been a defence mechanism against the bullying taunts she'd probably endured before. I wonder if she's still living or has family. Imagine the hurt to be described in this unflattering and unkind manner so publicly."] What are your thoughts on this, Glenn?....amd Jordan? |
