Sim Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I have no idea, Penelope. But this was a little girl who was proud of herself, trying to do her best, and there is a fully-grown man talking nonsense over her whole performance. Pitiful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springbourne3 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Cheryl was on the BBC1 ‘One Show’ tonight and once again claimed to of been ‘in the Royal Ballet’! Unbelievable! Somebody should enlighten her! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Oh dear! Royal Ballet School is one thing but claiming to be in the Company is on a different level....I didn't realise she had claimed to be in the Company ...just to have been a ballerina after having been to the RBS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 That's appalling. Time the RB responded, maybe? I mean, if she was, it must have been over 30 years ago, because I'm sure I'd pretty much recognise the names of all the company members since then 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penelopesimpson Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 She is in the Daily Mail today claiming she left because 'she didn't want to spend her life eating salad.' What can I say? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Shortcake Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I've brought Cheryl's misleading comments to the attention of the Royal Ballet. More info if and when I get a response. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Ha ha they probably won't care....this is giving them a lot more publicity than the press or their marketing department could ever achieve....and all at no cost to them! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like campaigning to get Stephen Lawrence’s killers convicted, or allowing theGhurkas’s toclaim citizenship or their work to outlaw plastic. Like most newspapers,it is a mixture of good and bad. Just because a product is mass market, it doesn’t mean it, and it’s readers, should be despised as part of the virtue signalling bandwagon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend in the public eye who has suffered at the hands of the press, which is why I hold that opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I have also experienced bad treatment at their hands thanks to a medical article I was involved in. I despise the publication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonty Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I don't think the Daily Mail is the only paper that does that. I was involved in a research project that got cancelled thanks to stuff that was printed in the Times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 My drama group was banned from the church hall thanks to an ludicrously erroneous article in the local paper! The News of the World (remember them?) read the story and rang the vicar to ask for details... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trog Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 OT (but relevant I think in light of some comments above) Don’t trust Daily Mail website, Microsoft browser warns users Naturally the Daily Mail aren't happy saying “We have only very recently become aware of the NewsGuard startup and are in discussions with them to have this egregiously erroneous classification resolved as soon as possible.” I think they must have gotten the dictionary down from the shelf to write that. Here's what people have been saying about it. https://www.thepoke.co.uk/2019/01/23/microsoft-classified-daily-mail-fake-news-people-love/ (Language warning) I like the comment "Apparently, it is graded as 1 out of 5, the same as the Kremlin's site. Pretty unfair on the Kremlin if you ask me. " 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 OK folks....am locking this thread now. I don't think there's anything left to say about the awful BBC programme, and we have veered off course anyway. Thanks to all for your input. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
