God she's stunning. Her figure!!

I've just watched countdown and she mentioned her dc being 1. She looks perfect.

Plus she seems really nice too.

And mega brain.

Oh well sigh

She was talking about her nephew (I think) having just turned 1 and now having some teeth. Definitely a young male relative, and I don't think she has a grandson just yet!

They've run out of new episodes, so they're currently showing old ones until they can start filming again. Some of the episodes are years old. They showed one where she looked really young (not that she looks old now) and she didn't seem nearly as confident, so I'm guessing she hadn't long started in the job. What got me, though, was that she seemed to have a really posh voice back then!

I like her, she and Tracey Anne Oberman stuck their heads above the parapet and had shit thrown at them by a disturbingly well established anti Jewish cohort in the Labour Party. And guess what, lots of perfectly respectable members of the Labour Party stuck their fingers in their ears and went lalala.

They could have stayed low, and kept their mouths shut like lots of other media luvvies have, but they didn't.

What's the AIBU?

Being a Zionist definitely is a bad thing and most Jews (including my Father and his whole very Jewish family) believe so.

"Zionist Jews (who support the mass murder of Palestinian people) controlling the agenda of the parliamentary Labour party"

Jews don't control things. This is an anti semitic trope.

Jews, Zionist or otherwise, don't support mass murder. Ascribing characteristics to people on account of their race or religion is hate speech. You know this already.

Actually Seren what she did put on her T shirt was far more nuanced than that. And was factual... however you think of Corbyn his legacy does include anti semitism, which is racism.

I don't understand why she is vile. She is Jewish. How else would she view the Labour Party debacle over institutional anti semitism?

If it's any consolation OP she couldn't dance for toffee
apart from the horizontal tango with Pash

@ErickBroch

I mean she's literally a zionist but ok

Why on earth shouldn't she be literally (or indeed metaphorically) a Zionist?

The only people who object are those who are literally racists.

I think she's really brave. She's a beautiful celebrity, she had no need to get involved at all, but she chose to, and got a lot of grief from anti-Semites in Labour.

More power to her elbow.

Being a Zionist (which you can be without being Jewish) does not automatically mean you are anti-Palestinian.

Zionism is the belief that Jews have the right to self-determination in their own nation state. It is not, never has been, the support for Israeli governments/politics.

It does not mean that Palestinians should not have their own nation state too.

Anti-Zionism says that Jews should not have their own nation state.

Wow, this thread escalated pretty quick!

Dont mind her but shes made some terrible judgements and has now gone seemingly very quiet about her political choices. Whats wrong with being a zionist? im a zionist even though I hate Israel's current government

@Doggodogington

Wow, this thread escalated pretty quick!

Jeremy Corbyn's legacy.

He hasn't gone away you know.

Being a zionist means you support a jewish homeland. Thats all.

Gone quiet? Well yes, since winning her court case against a Corbyn aid....

"Zionist Jews (who support the mass murder of Palestinian people) controlling the agenda of the parliamentary Labour party."

Seriously? And they eat children, don't forget that.

I'm sorry Diesel his legacy as Labour leader.

And hopefully he will go away and let the Party rebuild itself.

Gone quiet since she supported Boris Johnson and 60,000 people died...

I dont know anything of her or her political beliefs but I am shocked at how much she looks like my DD.
My DD who has no confidence at all in her looks and believes she is ugly.

@CuriousaboutSamphire
Yes, his political legacy. His actual legacy will be pretty substantial considering he was left half of a manor house, his own property in Islington is worth north of £750k and he was on a six figure salary as Labour leader.

That's socialism folks.

I think she has terrible taste in clothes on Countdown.

But how is she a terrible vile person? I don't get that!

Some people on MN think everyone is vile!

We dont live in a socialist country, Diesel, I think you're confused.
