Jason Manford

[NaiceToMeetYou]

I know he's a love-hate character on here but I can't knock him for this.

Aibu to raise awareness of #charityninjas

Late at night, JM will find a charitable go fund me page and advertise it to get its target reached overnight, so the recipient wakes up to a full target. I think it's bloody brilliant.

Shame he cant stop shagging around.

Ita all well abd good chucking money at stuff for kudos but if you cant keep your dick in your pants.....

Ah I don't know, there are worse people in the world to feel hatred for than JM.

We got tickets to see him live when he performed his show for Stephen Sutton a few years ago and he seemed genuinely thrilled to be raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. JM was already famous, well-off and popular in terms of his work so had no cause to do it to widen his audience or increase his notoriety. Despite being cynical I think he's genuinely a decent bloke whose personal life just puts people off.

Oh I know he's been a shit. Doesn't take away from his charitable work though and I personally think charity ninjas is a great thing.

Agreed, I think it's a lovely thing to do

He's a funny man and very charitable - perhaps his personal antics aren't great but shouldn't negate all the good things about him

I think he is an arsehole but then lots of arseholes work for/raise money for charities. Jimmy Saville did loads of charity work.

I don't think fucking other women is in any way comparable with being a paedophile. Oddly enough.

I hope he chooses ones he's done his homework on, and decent causes not the 'help me raise my first month's rent because I'm skint!' ones that I've seen recently!

I know of a fairly well known instagram blogger who 'raised money' for mental health treatment and then cancer, the first time the money was raised then never ever mentioned again and all queries were deleted from her page. Despite her partner earning very well and more than enough to fund private counselling. The second time she 'raised money' for some cancer charities after pretending to have stage four cervical cancer. As soon as the target was met she suddenly got better, deleted all mention of cancer from her page and it was never mentioned again. Despite having been given apparently a 4% survival chance, the whole getting the being cured of cancer was done and dusted in just two months.

Makes me absolutely sick when people donate in good faith to chancers and there's no comeback at all. She just keeps deleting any questions about any of it. She's called selfloveclubb if any of you know her.

I don't think fucking other women is in any way comparable with being a paedophile. Oddly enough.

Who said it was? I was making the point that you don't need to be a good person to raise money for charity. I have more respect for people who don't make a show of it.

I think he is an arsehole but then lots of arseholes work for/raise money for charities. Jimmy Saville did loads of charity work.

You can't compare Jason Manford and Jimmy Saville!

Oh god please don't mention saville in a vague comparison to anyone ffs he was a fucking arsehole predator of the highest order

He’s a twat, but getting into ‘charity’ is always a good way to rebuild a tarnished reputation

I’m amazed he’s got a prime time presenting gig - he must have a good agent

Oh FFS. Yes he was an arsehole predator of the first order but he raised millions for charity. Raising money for charity doesn't mean you are not an arsehole. That is the point.

Still a knob.

He's a prick whether he raises thousands or 2p, I cringe when his little stories about his kids pop up on my Facebook because some village idiot actually likes reading this type of nonsense.

How he has succeeded in TV is beyond me.Mind you I could say the same about Paddy McGuiness and James Corden.

I don't mind him.

He's a man tart but that's no secret so more fool any woman daft enough to get together with him. He's never stooped to mocking disabled people or other minorities in the name of humour either as far as im aware either.

Wait... paddy McGuinness is a bad guy?? What did I miss??

Well im more pissed off with ITV having Jim Davidson on two days after #IWD

I think he's great 😬

@Pereie Apparently Paddy was cuddly-cosy with Nicole Appleton on a night out

It's perfectly possible to be a cheat AND be genuine in wanting to help other people less fortunate than yourself.

Most people who cheat on their partner are actually pretty normal in pretty much everything else they do.

That's not to say that cheating is a 'good thing', because it clearly isn't. But very, very few people are either all good or all bad.

I follow him on Facebook. He comes across as a really nice, down to earth person who always replies and engages with his followers which is more than a lot of celebrities do.
The charity ninja thing is amazing, how he'll post something say at 1am for a family grieving, they raise the target £5K or whatever and then he deletes by the time morning comes around so they wake up and wonder WTF happened and a smashed target.
Although posting it on here breaks the ninja rules, ninjas are meant to be silent!

He is a professional northerner who tells lies of his radio show about things that never happened. If he didn't try and pass them off as things that really happened, it wouldn't be so bad, but it is. His 'I'm a brilliant northern dad me' shite is so yawn.

He is a shagabout. Treated the mother of his kids like shit. Likewise his next wife.

Nice one for raising money for charity, but it doesn't stop him from being a dick.

His 'I'm a brilliant northern dad me' shite is so yawn.

Where does he do that? "I'm a brilliant Northern Dad, me?!" He posts about his kids and days out etc, yes.
Not so sure what being Northern has to do with anything though, and posting kids related stuff doesn't automatically mean "ey, I'm brilliant, look at me like."

He is a professional northerner

Sorry,missed this bit.WTF is a "professional" Northener?
