The elusive Ms. Asquith is not all she seems. According to her rather sparse ‘biography’, she started out age 19 and roams the world with her camera! What is hidden is Ms. Daisy Asquith is very, very well conected and can count former prime ministers and Right Hon’s, including mummy & daddy amongst her family members. Off camera she tries to perpetuate the sham that she is working class, with her faux street-talk voice and her ability to get down & dirty with the plebs. She’s a fraud, who makes a living on the backs of dysfunctional & inadequate, usually lower class members of society, while she rakes in the plaudits – and the cash! She makes doco’s but does not offer solutions. Kimberley, did have a difficult beginning but is that any reason to ignore marks & brusies on a young child, a two year old being fed junk food, sworn at and witness to violence, some perpetrated by his ‘caring’ mother. Daisy Asquith is everything I detest about the media and Neulabour,they avoid adressing the real issues and the children suffer, the cycle goes on!

I’m not sure why this person is so angry with me and feels I am trying to deceive, but I can put them straight if it’s of any interest, which I doubt it is.

But if it is… My mum was actually an Irish catholic orphan who was in a Barnardos home until she was adopted by a couple who worked in the potteries in Stoke on Trent. My surname comes from my dad, who was an actor and left when I was little. It is a very posh name, which has always been a subject of fascination and amusement to me and my mum! My dad’s great grandfather WAS the prime minister, so they tell me.

I grew up in a flat in South London and went to the local comprehensive. My mum worked hard but had little support and never had enough money. My sister got pregnant at 18 and moved to the same estate as Kimberley, not far from where we grew up.

My accent is a bit of a funny mixture because I moved to Leeds when I was 17, in order to escape some very serious problems at home. So I know I am not easy to pin down. Is that a problem?

Kimberley has been my close friend for ten years now, and she does not deserve to be demonised for the struggles she has faced. A brilliant outcome of the film has been the overwhelming support and empathy she has experienced. It has given her huge self confidence, and our friendship has become stronger.

Harvey is my god-son and I love him very much. He is not suffering. I share responsibility for him and I would do anything to help him. But I believe helping Kim is the best way to help Harvey. He also comes to stay with me now and then.

Say it to my face next time “Jill”.

And thanks to the person who pointed this post out to me x

Well said Daisy. I have just watched your film and I found it very moving. Such spiteful comments as those posted by Jill are usually motivated by jealousy..
