Do you have an exact number of English people who love her, or are you just basing it on the fact that a TV company have 'cast' her in something?

She's constantly in your media as though she isn't a comedy fatso with a dodgy domestic situation and annoying rough voice

So I assume she speaks to you

i suspect it's because, superficially, she came over like Angela Merkel - a sober, safe pair of hands. That's very superficial - but that's all most people judge on!

She even wore the same type of clothes as Merkel: plain trousers or skirt with a simple coloured jacket.

Comedy fatso? Yeah, you sound like a bitch.

She looks like a character cut from an episode of chewing the fat for being Too Much

Clearly you do not detect the repellance hence the thread

Yes I agree. Wasn't there another Sensible Older Lady around at the time that also shed lustre?

CurdinHenry · 21/06/2026 16:36

Oh it was Theresa May so maybe not entirely sensible

Well I'm an English person who can't stand her but I warm to her more than I do to your horrible attitude.

StarPyjamas · 21/06/2026 16:45

This thread is just all a bit weird.

Perhaps it's the heat?

Sherararara · 21/06/2026 16:47

Did you do a poll?

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 21/06/2026 16:58

I don't understand your title, what makes you think that English people like NS?

But that programme looks like a pile of shite.

OP I think you need to stay out of the sun because I haven't really got a clue what you're on about.

There are some very worrying people on here.

Are they all as nasty as this one?

BettyJoanPerske · 21/06/2026 17:12

Ignore this OP, they are the 'life is a meaningless burden' pseudo deep poster of a couple of days ago. They just post nonsense.

TheignT · 21/06/2026 17:12

I suppose lots of us thought we'd drawn the short straw with Boris.

They are all bizarre and nonsensical.

um…that escalated quickly…😬

#RentFree indeed.

The NS obsession is not quite as bizarre as the Meghan Markle lot, but it's close.

Definately. Weirdos.

Differentforgirls · 21/06/2026 17:19

Well, to counter the OP, though I'm not English. I love her.

Dappy777 · 21/06/2026 17:39

It’s simple. English people are taught to hate themselves - their history, culture etc. Sturgeon also hates the English (whatever she may say in public). English people warm to that - especially those on the left.
