anyone see Boy George on Lorraine Kelly?

womanbornn · 26/06/2025 09:45

a few years back, George was asking people on Twitter to leave their pronouns at the door, sounding very GC and sensible, from the standpoint of a nonconformist male in the 80’s who liked to wear makeup and dresses whilst happy to be a man and aware he’s not a woman.

Nowadays he’s going on breakfast tv mocking JK Rowling, who only replied to his bloody tweet in self defence. George started the conversation with her.

She didn’t say anything in response that wasn’t factual or on point.

And Lorraine bloody Kelly in mock bewilderment, asking “why does it always end up about toilets”
Do some bloody reading Lorraine. Open your brain. Stop pretending that you don’t understand. (in the style of Jeremy bloody Vine)

yep, that’s what I meant, 180

Don't worry. My last place insisted that we were all doing "360 degree appraisals".

Old article but.. why to does tv enable these monsters, like ‘boy George’? The tv world is such a shady shit hole. Our tv Aerial went on the blink a while ago now, we haven’t had it fixed so no terrestrial tv for us. So much better not watching those flaky self-centred arseholes gibber on and on about themselves. Or pretend to be fascinated by others. Miss WILTY that’s all.

Man who Boy George imprisoned slams 'monster' ahead of I'm A Celebrity

Carlsen, 43, admits he is haunted by his experience with George, who faced jail in 2009 for the incident.

I feel like I'm tripping, did he not die years ago???

Edited

For George's first bush trucker trial, they should tied him him up and beaten him with a chain.

He's just another attention-seeking Z lister. He sees a way for fame and potential money by jumping on the gender bandwagon.

"What I love about you over the years is you've always stood up for people who sometimes don't have a voice for themselves. As we know, people in the trans-community, it's been very tough for them. And you've actually said, no, this isn't fair. You've been good like that, and you've always been good like that,"

Did the bloke he locked in his flat and hit with a chain have a voice for himself?

She actually said that, to a man convicted of kidnap and threat and abuse?

What is actually wrong with her?

Then make one of the other equally odious contestants eat his testicles.

Plenty salt mind, I'm not a monster.

Boy George and Lorraine are a pair of silly sanctimonious twats. I’d love to see Lorraine do an interview with JK Rowling or Helen Joyce and see how she copes with that.

StPancreasPiano · 26/06/2025 14:45

She'd have to stay home and do a big wash with just the thought of that @jaggededger 💩

‘Lorraine’ as she appears in her show is an artificial theatrical ‘persona’, as she claimed when challenged over taxes by HMRC. So the ‘wee Scottish lass with two brain cells’ is an act. Or is it? 🤔

Ha yes! She’s so fake.

Vanessa today had Dame Jenny Murray on who said women are women and trans women are trans women. It was awesome! Vanessa went with the conversation but then went back on track with her show.

The other guest agreed with her and James from strictly don’t say a word.

I think it's varied through the ages.

Back in cave man times they just bonked them on the head and dragged it back to the cave.

When the cowboys roamed the plains they rounded them up like cattle.

These days you just pick one up at Tesco.

Oh Beetle, I think I love you 😂

I mean, it's 'gender critical' activists who made it about toilets, the delightful people at Sex Matters are trying to work out how to make it an illegal offence to use the toilet of your acquired sex and JK Rowling has been telling people to photograph people they think may be trans in the toilet (which would be an offence) and post them up on Elon Musk's far right site. All totally normal behaviour.

How do acquire a sex?

SternJoyousBee · 26/06/2025 15:29

I would rather chew my own arm off than watch Lorraine Kelly. To avoid Boy George on her show I would add in a leg.

NameChangedOfc · 26/06/2025 15:34

womanbornn · 26/06/2025 10:30

I know, it’s ridiculous. Acquiring a sex? How does that work then! LOL.

"Acquired sex"! Can you get a refund if it doesn't work?😑

Fgs, these people are bloody stupid.

moto748e · 26/06/2025 15:45

Lorraine’s mocking, faux bewildered tone

And the time when this was anywhere near an acceptable position from TV pundits is surely long gone. Don't be bewildered, Lorraine, do some proper research (or have someone do it for you), and get on top of the facts of the situation. But that's asking too much, isn't it?

Fordian · 26/06/2025 16:24

’Argos catalogue’. Brilliant!

Alucard55 · 26/06/2025 16:26

LK is appalling on this. The "oh I don't agree why can't we all be kind stuff" is embarrassing. It would be great to see Helen Joyce or Maya Forstater on LK but that won't happen anytime soon.

Toseland · 26/06/2025 16:29

He says about "trans kids" - "a little girl is not acting like a little girl should" what should little girls act like?! Is she not conforming to old fashioned stereotypes?! He's in favour of medication and surgery for all those kids who don't conform. It's so fucked up.

You opened the Pandora's Box of Degrees, I wasn't going to jump in but now I can't resist...

Granted, a 360 degree turn leaves you in exactly the same position you started in (cf K Minogue 'I'm Spinning Around' 2000) so it's a 180 degree turn that heads you in the opposite direction.

But an appraisal would miss half of what was going on if it was only a 180 degree appraisal, unless it had eyes in the back of its headSmile

All this could be solved by more widespread use of radians.

How is that going to help ? The great unwashed can't fathom regular degrees.

Remember most people think acute angles look nice.

JanesLittleGirl · 26/06/2025 17:00

It can be confusing though. If you go 180 degrees around a roundabout then you're are going straight on. If you go 360 degrees around a roundabout then you're going back where you came from.
