A lot of common sense there.Just watching her on the money programme that was on channel 4. I wish she was my friend, and we could go to the pub, and put the world to rights. Anyone else? Or any other really inspirational women who haven't sold out? She's brill. I luffs her.

She is great.

RuthTopp · 17/07/2021 23:03

Yes I'm also a fan . She is a straight talking , no nonsense woman.

LucindaJane · 17/07/2021 23:03

Big fan here too.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 17/07/2021 23:07

I particularly loved it when the narrator asked her how much money she was worth, and she told him to fuck off Grin

Totally agree with everything you’ve said OP. I’d love to have her just show up at my front door, come in for a Brew and just solve the world’s problems while listening to me boast about the success of my propagated Japanese laurel. She’d get it!

tiredanddangerous · 17/07/2021 23:17

She's wonderful, and a fantastic actress.

MrsSkylerWhite · 17/07/2021 23:18

Haven’t seen the programme but have known for at least 30 years that Kathy is stellar Smile

TalesOfDrunkennessAndCruelty · 17/07/2021 23:20

She is indeed stellar. Binge watching Gimme Gimme Gimme during lockdown was a joy.

BoogieFeet · 17/07/2021 23:22

Yes she’s great - was really pleased to see her doing the program on money

WhiskeyNeverStartsToTasteNice · 17/07/2021 23:25

I follow her on Twitter and think she's fantastic

crumpet · 17/07/2021 23:28

I think she is great, although was very disappointed to see that she is fully TWAW. I’d hoped for more nuance from her

Yes I used to admire her but since finding out she’s TWAW I can’t be bothered - there are lots of other people to admire who have a firmer grip on reality.

I still live in hope she will change her mind

But she's still fab

Trans women are women.

Trans women are women.
No they're not

Given the hate, not to mention death and rape threats, directed at women who publicly disagree with TWAW - can you blame her for giving TWAW as her official stance on the subject? I'd bet that most public figures who say this would say something else entirely in private.

Isn't she TWAW as proven in her "How to be a woman" show (or some such shite, can't remember the name)

Hugely disappointing (even more so given that her Gimme Gimme Gimme costar James Dreyfus is such an outspoken champion for women).

She always struck me as the kind of woman who would know what a woman was.

Apparently not.

You’d think that someone who markets themselves as a “no nonsense, tells it like it is” kind of person wouldn’t spout such bullshit no matter how much it might affect her career. Makes her seem very shallow to me.

She has been absolutely vile about Prince Phillip in the past - appalling level of vitriol, can't bear her.

LazyMareofEastown · 17/07/2021 23:56

"She has been absolutely vile about Prince Phillip in the past - appalling level of vitriol, can't bear her."

Oh hang on, I like her again now.

Confusing 🤯

If she's afraid, she could just say nothing. We don't need her opinion on everything. Fortunately, there are many women who have the guts to stand up for women.
Summerisntwhatitusedtobe · 17/07/2021 23:59

What did she say about Prince Phillip?
