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's a good comedy actress, but I don't particularly like her as a person. Still, to each their own.

"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."

👏👏👏👏👏👏

I don't like her on that money program she's doing. She's a great comedic actress though.

Rockbird · 18/07/2021 01:06

Aw shit, I didn't know about her TWAW stance. That really puts me off.

TooBigForMyBoots · 18/07/2021 01:16

She is amazing.😍

I don't share her views on some things, but I'm mature enough to know that people have different opinions to me. It doesn't make them bad people, and in Kathy Burke's case, does not diminish her brilliance.🤩

Really? That's very mature of you.

TooBigForMyBoots · 18/07/2021 01:28

I know! You'd be surprised at the amount of people, especially on social media, who think Different Opinion = Bad /Stupid Person.🤯

TooBigForMyBoots · 18/07/2021 01:33

Or that holding that opinion negates their talent!!!

Nightfeedwatcher · 18/07/2021 03:20

Oh look someone tried to start a nice mumsnet thread and it got filled with negativity Smile
Kathy Burke is great IMO

LazyMareofEastown · 18/07/2021 10:27

Oh phew, guys Nightfeedwatcher is here to remind us that as women that we must at all times BE KIND.

I'd almost forgotten my place there for a second.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 18/07/2021 10:32

I think she's ace - I wish she was my next door neighbor and friend.

GunsNShips · 18/07/2021 10:36

I love her too! She’s is one of the most non judgemental people ever and is very much live and let live.

If she is TWAW then I wonder how much research she’s done, how many victims or women in refuges she’s spoken to and whether she’s even challenged that view at all.

I don’t think she’s the type to go along with stuff if she’s doesn’t believe it

TheQueef · 18/07/2021 10:36

Aw no, is she outright TWAW?
I'd expected more from KB she's in my 10 people I'd love to get hammered with!

geillisduncan · 18/07/2021 10:42

I think she's wonderful. Welcome at mine for a cuppa and a blether any time. I would like a pint with her and Miriam Margolyes, two amazing women.

Miriam is a deeply unpleasant individual

@Antwerpen

She has been absolutely vile about Prince Phillip in the past - appalling level of vitriol, can't bear her.
Are you referring to the comments she made after his car crash? He was selfish. He was 97 and should not have been driving at that age.
DobbyTheHouseElk · 18/07/2021 11:22

I bet Miriam knows what a woman is.

No. Women are women. Trans women are TRANS - clues in the words.

Well they could be be if only they had vaginas, periods, pmt, ovaries, ovarian cancer, cervixes , cervical cancer, endometriosis, fibroids, periods, poly cystic ovaries, vaginal prolapse, miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies and all the other little details that go to make up a women’s lot in life.

But they don’t.
