Making comments on Scottish life expectancy on a day when 8 Glaswegians have lost their lives in the helicopter crash.

Will that woman do anything for attention?

I saw this...there really are no words! Regardless of how inappropriate her "joke" was, it was also very nasty, I'm Scottish and I don't particularly appreciate being described as "that lot"!!!

caruthers · 01/12/2013 00:49

I don't watch her to get annoyed about her.

Screamqueen · 01/12/2013 00:54

I dont watch her either caruthers - her comments were on twitter which someone had re-posted on my facebook.

TheArticFunky · 01/12/2013 00:54

I think she is a few paninis short of a picnic. Totally lacking in emotional intelligence.

VodkaKnockers · 01/12/2013 00:56

Normally I just ignore her but my twitter & FB feeds are chock-a-block with responses to her and their are not pleasant.

God help her if she sets foot here as I think she will be give a few 'Glesga Kisses!'

She is disgusting. It's infuriating that any TV show would book her.

HerlockSholmes · 01/12/2013 01:13

she's a clart.

i wish she would disappear back to the obscure hole she came from so i could stop hearing about her.

One of the most Glaswegian response I ready was:

Away and get pumped in a field ya daft bun!

Aren't you just giving her the oxygen of publicity, which presumably is what she wants?

Littlecurrentbun · 01/12/2013 01:18

She's a bitch. What a disgust she is.

thepig · 01/12/2013 01:18

Why would anyone NOT book her is the more pertinent question.

This thread is exactly why commercial, ratings-driven tv will continue to pay her well.

She's just a professional like kelvin mckenzie et al, and she's not going away anytime soon because she's the best-fed troll in the land right now.

*professional troll

Merel · 01/12/2013 01:20

You are promoting her nonsense and her career by even referring and drawing attention to her. YABU

neiljames77 · 01/12/2013 01:20

I know people say any publicity is good publicity but why would anyone want to portray themselves as such a horrible bastard?
Unless it's because it's panto season and we're looking for a villian,

Bettercallsaul1 · 01/12/2013 01:21

Unfortunately, her calculated attempts to stir up controversy are a marketable asset - her only one.

The only dignified response to her "views" is to deny them any reaction at all.

WandaDoff · 01/12/2013 01:22

I pity her children.

caruthers · 01/12/2013 01:22

People seem to love a good villain.

Ignore her and she goes away.

neiljames77 · 01/12/2013 01:25

Who's her audience or target subject though?
Men and women in equal measure deem her as an out and out twat.

Alisvolatpropiis · 01/12/2013 01:26

I sometimes wonder if threads such as these aren't started by her pr team. I certainly wasn't aware of her commented until now.

If not well - her pr team have an easy job don't they.

She is, if nothing else, very good at what she does.

VodkaKnockers · 01/12/2013 01:26

I get what you are all saying but surely there is a line and she has just leap frogged over it?

People have died. There are 8 families who will be in mourning this Christmas and this idiot is using this as a publicity tool?

It is thoughtless and down right cruel to those 8 families who are dealing with tragedy.

She knows what she is doing.

Don't feed the trolls.

JapaneseMargaret · 01/12/2013 05:45

I had no idea about her comments, and would most likely have stayed in blissful ignorance of them ... but for this thread... Hmm

Why publicise her bile?

Fakebook · 01/12/2013 06:04

She's a joke! Obviously following a script to drum up outrage. I can't really get worked up about her because to me, she's a non-entity. If someone important starting spouting the same shit then I'd be worried.

vtechjazz · 01/12/2013 06:54

Her TV appearances are always so stale and staged, she had obviously been practicing all her little sound bites in the mirror.
