I know politicians are finished, but Esther Rantzen standing as an MP... ugh!

[TheDullWitch]

Why don't celebrities just shut up.

So all celebrities are the same, are they?

Because they've been on TV they can't therefore have an opinion?

I assume you're one of those morons who were also moaning about celebrities raising millions for Comic Relief as well...?

well she did start childline didn't she.

moron is a bit extreme

What's wrong with her standing as an MP - Glenda Jackson is apparently a really good one.

Yeah, I know. Not slept much. Reacting to such a smug OP.

I think she'd probably be great and at least she has a lot of life experience, unlike some of these wet-behind-the-ears politicians who have never worked in the real world.

She'd be a great constituency mp.

I'm sick of hearing Angelina's opinions on Darfur or Hugh Fearnly Wearnley on chicken farming. Fund raising yes, but thinking they know how to run the country, hmmm. All those enormous look-at-me egos.

i'm pretty fed up of politicians who go straight from eton or whereever into parliament and never have any experience of real life work

But celebs just have experience of being famous. Actors are all airheads, even the nice ones.

But I think if celebs stood in various constituencies - with dodgy MPs - people are such starfuckers they'd vote for them.

Like Jamie Oliver, Clarkson, Kirsty Poshbird, Delia etc

hope you haven't seen the joanna lumley thread

Esther Rantzen is a loon. If she gets elected, I'm moving to Israel!
