George Clarke for me. Can't look at him in the same way.

It’s easier to say the ones we do have respect for….

jkr
keanu reeves
rick gervais
david Attenborough
george Michael

Yep, I'd second that list.

Been really good to see the bigots out themselves on here though not liking the truth it seems aww

That's right, just resort to name calling because you don't like what you're hearing

Why would you respect someone simply because they were born into a position of enormous privilege, simply because of an accident of birth and the fact that his ancestors were just the toughest mob of gangsters?

Are you talking about the position or the person?

Everybody deserves respect as a person. If you show no respect to someone because of the position they occupy in your mind - whether they are a king or an immigrant - you display complete ignorance of that person.

Respect is due to each other from all of us. A person can gain more, or they can lose it. But these are different things.

It annoys me as women have been and still are always being kind. We are not offensive to trans women we meet, we are not beating them up and we are accepting of men in drag ( see very successful Rocky Horror, pantomime, Eddie Izzard etc etc),

Its really annoying when anyone particularly celebrities try to suggest that women are in the wrong for pointing out that sex is not gender. Ricky Gervais has gone up in my estimation.

Been whispers about him for ages, and also seen a video where he's being interviewed on some show and the whole time he's staring down the top of the woman next to him. Apparently he's quite handsy from what I've heard.

Not sure if the full story will ever come out, so no idea if he's a Schofield or a Prince Andrew.

Utter rubbish and a pile of tosh.

What did David Tennant do?

Best bet here is that he has a trans child. He's very pro trans.

Why please?

Lavenderblossoms · 06/10/2024 21:14

This is really childish and I am well aware of it.

But I felt like little mix really threw Jesy Nelson under a bus all because she wanted to leave. I especially don't like leanne pinnock.

I'm obviously naive as I thought they were like sisters to each other in that band and they obviously weren't.
But it just left a sour taste and I still like their old music. Just not interested in any of their new or individual music.
So yeah I'm an adult with that view and clearly need a life. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 please no one argue with me on it, it's not that deep.

I get that Novak is unlikeable, but I can't fathom why people would dislike him simply because he didn't want a certain vaccine put into his own body. He's an athlete. His body is his livelihood.

Anyway, there are plenty. Yes to all the woman haters already mentioned.

That was fair enough. His body. But the way he turned up for tournaments in other countries with different rules and just expected to be let in. Because of who he was.Just no. Not OK. That was the real issue.

OhDearMuriel · 06/10/2024 21:17

Peter Crouch and his wife Abbey.

They're always promoting gambling, which destroys so many lives.

Greedy immoral bathtubs imo.

David Tennant. I've always loved basically anything he's in (apart from Dr Who) and always thought he seemed like a decent bloke. His stance on women's rights put me right off. Twat.

Absolutely agree.

Give me Kemi over David Tennant any day of the week!

For me it's because he was against it but still profited from it being made. That is complete hypocrisy to me. Plus he is a misogynist.

He described gender atheists as ‘a tiny bunch of little whinging fuckers’. Nasty man.

What on earth is a gender atheist??

Mummyoflittledragon · 06/10/2024 21:27

Sharptonguedwoman · 06/10/2024 21:11

Why please?

Someone upthread said he ditched his childhood sweetheart, who’d grounded him and was now basically a bit out of control, lots of women and I can’t remember what else.

Everybody deserves respect as a person.

Nobody deserves the right to unctuous fawning, simply because of their parents, nor their parents before them.

I don't object to him as a person and I don't believe half of the character assassinations printed about him.

Gettingcoldouthere · 06/10/2024 21:29

Christy Turlington - runs the charity Every Mother Counts charity. She could have used her fame as model and head of the charity to advocate for mothers in Gaza. Absolute silence. Some mothers clearly don’t count.

Equally nasty but Kemi knows what a woman is, I wouldn't geive either of them the time of day.

George Clarke, Oh god yes!

I can't believe he installed sage green kitchen units in that property program!

Disgusting!

Ah I see. Thank you. In that case I’m with the GC hate club too.

I don't respect anyone saying wokey nonsense i love Cathy Burke and she's proud yo be woke and so am I because that's where decent people sit

Seriously, whatever your views, you're derailing the thread and turning it into a bun fight. You've made your point FGS we get it. Can we get back to what the thread was about now without arguing with everyone? That wasn't the intention of the thread?

I am a cis woman but I have no issues with trans women which must be very hard to feel like you are not who you should be all your life.

Many women, myself included, won't have an issue with trans women. I am all for people living their authentic selves, but not at the expense of actual women. Unless they have fully transitioned they shouldn't be in womens spaces, and they should never be in womens sports. If they have committed violent sexual crimes against women, they shouldn't be in womens prisons.
I am friends with 3 trans women. 2 of whom have fully transitioned. They are "normal" (other than all have depression, 2 have anxiety and 1 is autistic), and don't actually hate biological women like many trans women in the Twitter/X/Tik Tok sphere seem to.

It's a small vocal minority that are ruining it for the vast majority.
They all know that genetically they are biological males btw.
