You really ARE a thinkin’ gal! That scarf is a cover-up, not an accessory. These photos are propaganda for her, not photojournalism.
You posted in response to Thinkin' Gal's
The scarf in post 2 looked a little odd to me (just seemed a bit out of place style-wise). Compare the view in post 3. There is some kind of blue band/thing that the scarf is covering up. What did she do to her neck?
You folk = and many others on this thread would really, but really make top-notch nanny-state worker bees. Here's the original poop on the story (and in my world, I hope for people who explore and research a situation before condemning a child to the loss of it's mother)
"Lyon frank about her history.
Lyon, who works for Borderline UK, helping people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, is frank about her own personal history. She explains that, by 13 or 14, she was “already seriously anorexic” and “was being quite seriously abused”.
By her own account, she was raped by an acquaintance while working as a volunteer in a charity shop and her behaviour became increasingly self-destructive. In addition to her difficulties with eating, she began self-harming by cutting her arms.
To complicate matters further, Lyon says that since the age of 11 she has suffered from angioedema (swelling of the skin) and for the past two years has been fitted with a permanent tracheostomy tube to help her breathe.
At 15, Lyon says she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and admitted to the Cassel Hospital in Richmond, south London, where she spent a year as an in-patient, followed by nine months as an out-patient. The diagnosis was finally removed when she was 18.
She works for Borderline, the scarf is to cover up a tracheostomy tube, The diagnosis of borderline was finally removed when she was 18.
She mentions the domestic dispute with her partner, in one place, saying "my ex" in another = no where is there any mention of a gay lover, as others here have alluded too - etc etc.
I think I'd trust this gal with my child before some of the personalities I've read in here tonight: "Borderline Nanny-Staters".
have we really gone that far into socialist/communist, nanny-state thinking?
