carolj Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 GMB have now deleted the whole thread on Facebook. Not a very adult way of dealing with genuine complaints. Link to comment
Gemma7 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Has anyone seen the last tweet Michelle Mone posted today that if you want to do something you'll find a way if you don't you'll find an excuse? What on earth is that supposed to mean? Link to comment
Caramoole Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 The Moole is getting seriously annoyed now :fish: I wish there was a pill or injection you could give these people that would let them experience OCD, extreme anxiety or panic for as little as 2 hours, then they might begin to appreciate who really demonstrates strength. Having been a very limited Twitter user.....I'm in danger of becoming prolific regarding these "Twits" Very cross Link to comment
Gemma7 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Couldn't agree more what a prat she is. Link to comment
Guest Lily_12 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Can someone give me a hand? I'm going to need another palm to put my face in after watching that. Link to comment
Caramoole Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Let's hope the cleaner makes a mistake and hangs a newly ironed cream shirt amongst the white ones, that would be tragic!! Link to comment
Caramoole Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I might tweet her the link for The Linden Method Link to comment
whitebeam Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thank you carolj for the link. How they let her on on OCD Awareness Week I cannot imagine. Susannah did keep mentioning anxiety - but it just got lost................. I think I shall write to GMB - I wish the facebook link was still there - as you say, carolj - very adult!!

gingerbreadgirl Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 AAARGH so mad about this. The last tweet has got me FUMING. Link to comment
carolj Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 i am so furious!!!! Those of us posting on the GMB thread which was deleted have now moved on to their 'please vote for us thread', but expect to be deleted or banned! Also there is a long thread on Michelle Mone's own Facebook page which you can add to. (Im not great with twitter and dont really understand what I am doing!). I see though Mone has also posted on twitter 'they forget what I have done to help the charity over the years'. What charity is that? Can't believe GMB have a serious item about Global Hand Washing Day this morning, shame they didn't deal with OCD in the same way!!! Link to comment
whitebeam Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I've tweeted Ms Mone or Lady Mone as I believe we should call her.......looking forward to a reply Link to comment
Legend Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I might tweet her the link for The Linden Method Might beat you to it .... Link to comment
Ashley Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Yesterday happened, can not change it but we simply have to step up our work to ensure things like that don't happen again. I am doing three radio pieces over the next 24 hours, and hopefully through that I can challenge unhelpful comments about OCD through positive work. Link to comment
Guest Heryn! Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Can someone give me a hand? I'm going to need another palm to put my face in after watching that. Best laugh I've had all week; thank you, Lily. Link to comment
carolj Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Good news Ash! I know people dont like the Daily Mail, but they have done a whole page about it this morning and I do think the headline is very apt 'Baroness birdbrain'! Link to comment

Am out and about for Radio Interview at lunchtime, will pick up a copy to have a look. Link to comment
taurean Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Yep its a good piece in the Daily Mail. Link to comment
Caramoole Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 She's going to feel a bit of a Birdbrain at her inauguration in the Lords on Thursday at whipping up such negative media attention! Link to comment

Deary me Link to comment
Caramoole Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I can cope with that one, it least it's a joke....albeit a bit lame Link to comment
Gemma7 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Michelle Mone is still insisting that she was speaking from her experience. Why can't she see that saying you love having a severe mental illness will never be OK? Link to comment
whitebeam Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I do intend writing to GMB but what I want to include is the current accepted definition of OCD because I'm sure that it mentions 'considerable distress' and/or the time taken up each day by compulsions. I will have a search but if anyone does know it that would be great. Michelle Mone is saying that it's from her experience and that's fine......... but not if it isn't actually OCD and she is claiming it is - especially as she hasn't been diagnosed.... Link to comment
taurean Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) She is on the defensive though: and hopefully the strong response will discourage others from trying to treat small obsessions as a "badge of honour" and examples of OCD. Edited October 14, 2015 by taurean Link to comment
Caramoole Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Where Gemma, still on Twitter? Link to comment
