I meant to post about this yesterday.

The so-called "Queen of mean" did an hour long interview on BBC4 TV on monday night.

It was a revelation of straight talking.
Ms Robinson would never make a politician.

She may be looking for a toy boy. Up for it?

YABU. I think she is spiteful. You can be straight without being spiteful.

I didn't hear the broadcast, I am talking about her generally.

I think the Welsh might hold a different view OP Grin St Davids

she says the welsh take it as the joke it was.

She is certainly ambitious and pulls no punches about the nastyness of overt ambition...Does not romanticise ambition like many people do.

I never said she was "nice" But she does seem straighter than most.

It amuses me that the people she insults on "Link" still say they worship her.

Thats the power of Fame. cheers "Gabby"

PS her "Unfit mother" book is a revelation about journos

"She may be looking for a toy boy. Up for it?"

Hmmm. Do I want to become entwined with a hatchet faced vile woman who appears to ooze bile?think I'll pass.

I thought she out played Mark Lawson in that interview. Her straight talking is just a facade, he revealed nothing about her that she didn't want revealed.

Cheers 'bamboo'

stiflersmom · 02/03/2011 13:48

Yes, but her "straight talking" consists of makaing personal remarks about people's hair styles and insulting tradesmen and SAHPs

no use being a plain speaker if you have fuck all to SAY

what's her view on the Middle East for example?

she's an eft, like the rest of 'em

GabbyLoggon · 02/03/2011 14:00

Read her book, stifler she has plenty to say.

she did outwit Lawson ,he was a fan too.

I see her as an entertainer. She admits shes been lucky.

mayor.. you would forget about the face in the clinches. "Gabby"

She's dim, though. She can't read autocue convincingly because she doesn't understand what she's supposed to be saying.

stiflersmom · 02/03/2011 14:03

I couldn't read her book

she dines out on being a shit parent and having lota of "issues"

she does a shit quiz show in which she distinguishes herself by making playground remarks about strangers

she's a strident harpy with nothing to offer the world but her own disappointment

WHY are people like this famous?

buttonmooncup · 02/03/2011 14:06

Yay a Gabby thread!

GabbyLoggon · 02/03/2011 14:17

some of what you say is true, But her book is a great read, And honest from her point of view.

Unlike say, Dave cameron, who uses phoney charm to convince us what a nice bloke he is. Yuk, wrong profession Dave,

Ambition is a rat-race...Robinson admits that.
She has mummys market skills. which is more convincing than public schools tosh.

but who gives a dry fuck if her book is "honest from her point of view"

so is my diary but that doesn't mean millions of people should be bored into reading it on the train

she is a nobody with a penetrating voice

and what are "mummy marketing skills"?

it is an indictment of the society we have built that scum like this rises to the top

mayorquimby · 02/03/2011 14:19

"mayor.. you would forget about the face in the clinches. "

shudder

HecateQueenOfWitches · 02/03/2011 14:28

Oh dear. Poor MQ. In the dead of night, this image will come to you, and you will wake, shaking and clammy, and curse the name GabbyLoggon...
