She used to annoy me but I've come around.

ssd · 06/01/2024 13:37

Shes brilliant

NoKateMoss · 06/01/2024 13:39

She's an absolute hero.

SupremeCommanderServalan · 06/01/2024 13:40

She's great. So intelligent and articulate.

Castellanos · 06/01/2024 13:40

What has she done?

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 06/01/2024 13:44

According to some idiot bloke a woman can't voice a political opinion whilst also sharing pics that show her bum or boobs.

Someone should tell Arnie as clearly this also means a guy can't show his bod off bodybuilding then be a mayor later in life Grin

I think she's looking a tad Alien-esque but she's a wonderful woman.

GreenIsTheMagicColour · 06/01/2024 13:46

Love her. I think she's a great role model; intelligent, articulate and happy to admit that looking good is important to her.

TattiePants · 06/01/2024 13:50

I think she’s great especially as she left a well paid job with the BBC rather than censor her opinions on the government.

IsThePopeCatholic · 06/01/2024 13:51

She's great. She’s bright, independent, articulate, and outspoken,

This.

RainbowZebraWarrior · 06/01/2024 13:59

Absolutely!

Had a great discussion with my mother about her yesterday. Seems like I might finally be seeing the feminist in my mum.

Why?

custardlover · 06/01/2024 14:03

I think she ace and her eloquently furious response to Shaun Bailey's misogynism makes me admire her more.

Which is of course the single most important thing about her.

TravelInHope · 06/01/2024 14:07

Riverlee · 06/01/2024 14:01

Why?

Apparently she looks great for 60.

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 06/01/2024 14:08

Because I absolutely said this is the most important thing about her.

100% this!

She is not a girl to sit back and hold her tongue and I love her for it.

She's getting attacked from all angles but she's not backing down.

I'm yet to hear her say anything I disagree with, too.

It was the only thing you could find to say about her.
oh well…

Rocksonabeach · 06/01/2024 14:20

I know her. Not a friend I hasten to add but I know her well through numerous meetings.

She is a highly intelligent and articulate person. She also gives back to local communities and does indeed get hounded by the media as well. I have seen them hiding outside her house to get a ‘morning’ picture of her so that they can write an article saying she doesn’t look happy or isn’t happy being single or something else etc they don’t seem to that to men randomly do they?

She has fought sexism all her life.

I lover her! She is a hero.

WallaceinAnderland · 06/01/2024 14:27

Intelligent and articulate are the words I thought of too.

What I really admire about her is that she makes her points on social media without calling people names or stooping to the gutter lows like so many others on twitter/x.

Refreshing to see and consequently people are actually taking note of what she says.
