As stated by Miriam Margolyes today, as she gets worse and worse...... and worse.

It was intolerable what she said on This Morning last week.
And now what she's saying today by way of defending herself is even further intolerable.

I have huge respect for her speaking up about the genocide and have seen people saying it was a great show tonight…no mention of any offence caused.

Whoah I missed this 😳

She is utterly loathesome and I believe she knows exactly what trouble she creates and enjoys it.

Booboobagins · 07/09/2026 23:37

Why so much airtime for someone who is inconsequential.

Andy dealt with it like the pro he is.

Her views really count for didley squat so please can we stop this.

Her commemts are the ignorant ramblings of a fool. Distasteful isms, rude, patronising and outrageous questions and statements, which lead us to conclude she is a DH of the highest order.

Bloody hell!!

I did chuckle at the one about fat people. Does she not realise she in that category too?

Anyway everytime she opens her mouth she makes it worse. What a dinosaur. And also telling how she views people. As labels.

Cripple here. 👋 🧑‍🦽 More context needed, OP. Though it makes me wonder how a fat Jewess might feel. 🤔

Well the context is that whilst on live daytime TV last week she was blatantly racist towards Andi Peters on several counts, along with impersonating his co-host Christine Lampard's NI accent to her face in a mocking way. And because of the backlash from the offence she has caused, she has now defended herself by using yet more offensive and discriminatory language to describe people who she apparently feels need to be othered.

I doubt she would be offended at all to ask who she is, what she is, she would probably bore people to tears with it all.

Yes but in the liberal world of identity exploration, this is the sort of thing people like to examine. Usually in some diversity/equality/inclusivity workshop that bores people to tears.

She is just doing it out of context.

I’m confused? Where has she been quoted as saying this other stuff?

Audience event in Southend to promote her book (yawn)

Blimey, the woman needs to be stopped! Shock

HangingOver · 07/09/2026 22:37

She's a cow. She once pooh poohed my medical condition on the basis that it has a long name.
