Uptight self-important pretentious Obnoxious vs. Uptight self-important self-righteous Obnoxious. I profoundly don't care to know anything about either of them, their opinions, and especially not their opinions on each other.

ROFL. Definitely team Burchill:

Burchill. She cracks me up

EL8888 · 06/06/2021 16:07

@JustNippingToWaitrose exactly. Who sweeps shit like that under the carpet?!

Cheermonger · 06/06/2021 16:09

Oooof. She’s blunt but right.

Pagwatch · 06/06/2021 16:18

I don’t think women should be judged by their partners deeds.

She isn’t. She’s being judged by her decision to stay with him.

@JustNippingToWaitrose

You put a full stop when you quoted that section of my post which,I’m sure erroneously, made it look as if I was saying something pretty much the opposite to what I actually said.

God she's funny. Well done Julie.

Rocaille · 06/06/2021 16:22

Burchill, obvs. I just wish I had the nerve to say some of the stuff she does.

Cocolapew · 06/06/2021 16:23

Burchill. India is a disgrace.

HannaHat · 06/06/2021 16:42

Burchill on this, absolutely.

ShowerOfShite · 06/06/2021 16:44

Burchill. India Knight is a fucking disgrace.

Yep. I really like India Knight but why TF she stayed with him is beyond me
Oenanthe · 06/06/2021 16:47

Burchill ftw.

I wish I had her balls. She's an inspiration. Knight, not so much.

powershowerforanhour · 06/06/2021 16:48

Has IK not dumped that yoke then? Mind you I suppose if she didn't at the time she's not going to, unless it harms her career too much. Which it hasn't if she's still getting paid to write the same old stuff over and over again.

Wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 06/06/2021 16:49

Burchill.

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 06/06/2021 16:52

Burchill.

Knight is an absolute bell end for so many reasons, not just her taste in life partners.

dorangme · 06/06/2021 16:55

Wow! J has gone straight in for the KO

dubyalass · 06/06/2021 16:55

They're all appalling people, a cesspit of humanity. If I write what I really want to say, my post will be deleted.

Clawdy · 06/06/2021 17:20

Burchill "an inspiration "?? She had to apologise for her disgusting Islamophobic comments to another journalist, and has said how much she "hates the Irish." She only now writes for right-wing papers, fairly obvious why.

Kenneldogsrock · 06/06/2021 17:24

Team Birchill here too!

Lottapianos · 06/06/2021 17:25

'Knight is a disgrace. How she can leave the house and hold her head up is beyond me.'

Well said

Jeez, Burchill gives no fucks. She's spot on with this comment

Pagwatch · 07/06/2021 12:37

@JustNippingToWaitrose

no worries.
I had just been trying to clarify why i think Knight deserves the flak because of her own choices not because of association and i was uncomfortable that it sounded like i was sticking up for her.

thanks
