    Ther will always be these sorts in life who haven't got a clue but have aloud voice (read bags of cash)

    Never mind I am a strong believer in Karma.

    That aside I think we now need a plan of action.

    Does anyone live close to WW road? Do you have a handycam? Do you know a wannabe reporter?

    That would be such good viewing lol

    Open fire in every room?

    Haha...I'd have liked to take her moral high ground from her, exactly like Carmen has.

    I just feel sorry for her son. 1. Growing up with the name Bruno (as detailed on the link http://www.massage4baby.org/aboutsuzy.htm before anyone assumes I'm somehow spreading her info like she does her tenants) not least for the Sacha Baron Cohen reasons 2. Growing up with the mum who only helps homeless children in other countries but couldn't give a jot about kicking them out of a house she owns. Maybe she will be vetting presents at her son's birthday parties too in order to ensure that feeding them when they arrive at his party won't leave her out of pocket. If not, GMTV could be on hand to remove them from the playcentre.

    Maybe Carmen would consider moving to Peru? Maybe Ms Butler would be more compassionate to her there...maybe it's the altitude or the air making her more generous.

    I tried to read the first sentence, but when I reached the bit about how she 'letted her home out' I gave up ...

    The third paragraph also seems to open with a question but not end that sentence with a question mark.

    Ms Butlers FB page carries this atm

    Attn admin. I have asked you to delete a discussion .............................................. . Rather than do so, you have chosen to delete my request. I urge you to think again, unless you support those comments.

    They seem to be continuing to delete posts that ask them awkward questions, whilst leaving up offensive comments from their supporters.


    Edit: Mon eve, it appears that the 2nd request from "Andy" has done the trick and the offensive message has been removed by their FB admin

    Shame she didn't research public relations instead of baby massage.

    In all seriousness though, she wouldn't have rented her house to a race of person (that didn't come out right?!) that she had an objection to anyway.

    I don't think she's a racist. But I do think she is an ignorant moron.

    It wasn't a question of *her* being racist as far as I can see, more that they should be proactive about removing the posts of others which may be perceived that way.

    How could she be a racist? Carlita sounds foreign to me so I don't think that's the case.

    I still have suspicions of this whole affair.

    Does anyone else remember how he used to present "Watchdog" on BBC1 back in the 80s?

    Oh the irony...
    John Stapleton was a knob in those clips, you would have thought he'd have more sense.

    Maybe too many years on the gmtv couch has mushed his brain.
