1320Lichtie Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Heard her on the radio this morning, she sounded like a bit of an idiot tbh. Feck knows how she's managed to achieve what she has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Heard her on the radio this morning, she sounded like a bit of an idiot tbh. Feck knows how she's managed to achieve what she has. Probably the fact that her husband ran the business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fide Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Why are you lads so obsessed by her!? Sit down Rob, eh? I see she was crowing on Twitter about a meeting she had with Ian Duncan Smith. I'm surprised a black hole wasn't created by the concentrated levels of c**t in one place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 wut She didn't sound very clever. She seemed to be havering a load of shite. I expected her to sound pretty impressive when speaking about business considering she has achieved what she has. It's not difficult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected her to sound pretty impressive when speaking about business considering she has achieved what she has. It's not difficult. She's an abject bam. Not very bright at all. ETA: Let me add arsehole to the above: Michelle Mone OBE @MichelleMone It's unfortunately called the #SNP supporters who don't like a success story Edited August 11, 2015 by Fide 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Why are you lads so obsessed by her!? I have a problem with people who are portrayed as massively successful and hugely competent, when in actual fact they are massively incompetent and shameless self-promoters. She ticks all these boxes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Insanity Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Pretty nasty piece on her on WoS. He's a sharp guy but he's letting his thinly veiled misogyny out in full force in that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Insanity Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Just read it - where was the misogyny? I don't know, if you don't think this is misogynistic then I'm at a loss: Personal issues appear to have contributed to at least some of Mone’s behaviour as an employer. The Woods case played out against a backdrop of the disintegration of Mone’s marriage to business partner Michael. In February this year she confessed to having committed several violent crimes when the union broke up, including “trashing”a £100,000 Porsche, destroying his clothes and putting laxatives in his coffee. Also didn't particularly like this oblique, irrelevant and petty dig: (Mone is, in fairness, no stranger to changing sides, having converted from Protestant to Catholicism when she fell pregnant as a teenager.) and this was...unnecessary She now punts dodgy diet pills to fat women Even if there were no blatant examples like the above, the whole thing has the general undercurrent of a successful businesswoman's career being trashed in a cack handed way that you can't really imagine being done to a man. I should add that I have no time whatsoever for Michelle Mone as a person, I don't want her to get a peerage for services to Better Together, but some of the abuse she is taking is hardly helping the media depiction of the 'cybernats.'

bob the tank Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Did her company not pretty much goto the wall before being rescued by Sri Lankan investors? Sold to the Sri Lankans because it was going down the tubes. She is now a diet pills and fake tan magnate, just what the unwaged need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, basically nothing misogynistic. Or you don't understand the word. The "blatant examples" you give are nothing of the sort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
