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

Fuck me folks, this is not the week to be against someone for calling out racism. Corbyn can look after himself for a day.

You’re right. Photoshopping an anti-apartheid poster has never looked so unsavoury...
HeadingForRainbows · 04/06/2020 16:00

She's stunning but....
She couldn't see why photoshopping an anti apartheid message and replacing it with one accusing corbyn of being a racist and then posting a photo of herself (a white, blonde, blue eyed) wearing said t-shirt, would upset people 🤔

@user1471565182

I don't think Boris personally killed anyone 🤷‍♀️

You're also naive if you think our deaths are really that much higher than many other countries Difference being media etc pushed to include deaths in the community. Most other countries don't report that. Also i know for a fact that ANY deaths in the community where the person also happened to test positive for COVID are recorded as a COVID death whether or not they actually died from it - if not people have to wait weeks and weeks for autopsy/coroner report etc so it's easier for everyone that Covid is started as the reason. Also contrary to what happens in other countries

But that's an inconvenient truth for most people who want to blame Boris

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

In response to a comment about Jeremy Corbyn's legacy, I described some aspects of his lifestyle which are far from socialist. It was obviously a comment on Corbyn, not the UK. Hope that helps.

BabySasquatch · 04/06/2020 16:04

"stunning"? Confused

RingaRosie · 04/06/2020 16:05

I’ve never seen her on telly, but I know her from online / mags etc... I think her clothes always look wrong.

Why is it relevant that she is white, blonde, blue-eyed?

Why on earth would it upset people that she is?

Anything that upsets the anti semites on twitter has got to be a good thing though.

HeadingForRainbows · 04/06/2020 16:07

Yes, she's very attractive.

ShouldHaveGoneToBarnardCastle · 04/06/2020 16:08

@ivfgottostaypositive

Wrong. Other countries including Spain, Italy and Greece count deaths in the community. Per capita we have one of the highest death tolls. Inconvenient for the Boris apologists I know.

totallyyesno · 04/06/2020 16:09

The t-shirt has a fake picture, the real one is the second photo....spot the difference.

Well, obviously! You're saying it like she is trying to con people whereas she is actually making a political comment that you may or may not agree with.

She's attractive & sometimes quick witted but I think she's a bit of a dick. Aside from the t shirt thing, she would be really smirky on 8/10 cats when anyone said anything about her taking over from Carol Vorderman as Carol was too old etc. As though it was a bit of one upmanship.

If she was respectable, she could have behaved much better at those times.

So let me get this straight - Corbyn protesting Apartheid is racist, yet the Conservatives can preside over the Windrush scandal and Dominic Cummings (himself a eugenicist) can appoint a eugenicist aide who believes black people are naturally less intelligent and that’s all fine?!

Kinder, gentler politics indeed.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 04/06/2020 16:15

Do you mean she has an opinion?

Pesky pretty, intelligent, famous woman!!!

araiwa · 04/06/2020 16:16

This threads makes me think my internet has gone doolally. It makes no sense

oldwhyno · 04/06/2020 16:18

sticking to the subject, yes, she does have a superb body

ShouldHaveGoneToBarnardCastle · 04/06/2020 16:21

@SuckingDieselFella pp didn’t allege there is a Jewish conspiracy FFS! Read the post. S/he clearly referred to Corbyn controlling the agenda of the Labour Party, not Jews. But let’s not miss the chance to throw around a few accusations of anti-semitism hey?

Funny how when it’s Dominic Cummings it’s “harassment” and “he is a human being after all, doing what any father would do” but when it’s Jeremy Corbyn or any left wing politician (Diane Abbott) the relentless vilification and smears are somehow justified.

I wonder if this thread on Rachel Riley and all these posts attacking her today relate to the fact that she has been posting in support of Black Lives Matter? And posted yesterday in favour of women's rights, in support of We Can't Consent To This?

Clearly a lot of far right racists keen to attack and discredit her and drive a wedge between anti-racists.

Corbynistas will never get anything about Corbyn straight.

Kinder, gentler politics is Corbyn's own slogan and he failed at it spectacularly. No idea why you're applying it to anyone else.

Your mouth-frothing about Boris, Dominic Cummings and eugenics is irrelevant to Rachel Riley.

You are mighty confused.

Graciebobcat · 04/06/2020 16:27

Isn't calling out Jeremy Corbyn a bit 2019?
