[TV] Carol Vorderman.

[drew]

I suspect this morning Donald Trump was rather wishing a minor celeb (Taylor Swift) had followed your advice

It would be so funny if the Swifties swung it for Kamala.

Does anyone know what the cut off point is where the level of fame someone has is such that they’re no longer allowed to express political opinions anymore?

Clearly it’s somewhere between me (ignored nobody) and Gary Lineker / Carol Vorderman, so where is the line?

Rustie Lee?

Bobby Davro?

Somewhere above the Bob F***in' Geldoff that likes to F***in' shout with a F***in' megaphone on the F***in' banks of the F***in' River Thames that his F***in' megaphone is F***in' louder than anybody else's F***in' megaphone - FSS! - and is thinks he's more F***in' important than anyone else's F***in' point of F***in' view and F*** you if you were F***in' voting for F***in' for Brexit even if it's no F***in' business of mine because I'm F***in' Irish and therefore no more F***in' intelligent or relevant than F***in' you, you mean?

That F***in' cn ut called F**in' Geldoff, you mean?

These days, if you say you're a celebrity and start mouthing off about politics, Ant and Dec throw you in the jungle.

Any others joined the party where Vorderman has launched into Starmer? Far too much effort to find out.

Becoming more like Corbyn as time goes by. Always easy to criticise from a position of zero actual responsibility or power. She rightly bashed the Tories but has now turned on Starmer. After the Tory shit show there will be difficult decisions that have to be made and that means someone losing out. But ‘Comedy Tits’ seems to think that because the removal of the WFA from the less needy was not in the manifesto that Labour have stabbed pensioners in the back. The money has to come from somewhere, luv.

So basically you were happy for her to criticise when you agreed with her but not when you don’t?

Quite. I think she’s politically fairly naive and has just jumped on a bandwagon.
i can remember a few years ago in her Tory days she was on Question Time. I can’t remember what the question was, but she started off her response with an indignant “don’t talk to me about Labour”, and then went off on what seemed like a pre-prepared rant which was not at all appropriate to the question. It was embarrassing.

Funnily enough I usually vote Tory, but this time round enough was enough.

Yet that absolute clown Johnson wasn't?

 

[The Clamp]

Just why do the likes of Vorderman and Lineker feel the need to publicly mouth off in such matters?
Stick to your day job.

Why shouldn’t they voice their opinion? People don’t silence you on here and tell you to stick to accounting, do they.

He’s very active regarding the privatisation of water companies and sewage pollution.

Yep as demonstrated in a guest appearance on Mortimer & Whitehouse Gone Fishing some time ago, damning the quality of many British rivers.

 

[GT49er]

Yet that absolute clown Johnson wasn't?

Johnson was voted in by many voters, including thousands of Labour voters in the red wall, to do a specific job, which he promised to do in his manifesto (something that all the other major parties openly declared they wouldn't do) - and which he did. Once the job was done, with no need to hold their noses and vote Tory, they stopped voting Tory, regardless of whether the Tory leader was Johnson, Sunak or even Truss.

Hope that makes it clear for you.

Which specific job did he do?

He didn’t finish anything did he? Left power with a dozen unfinished projects, broken promises, and botched jobs.

Ever the headline, never the details. Someone else can sort out the mess.

Just to clarify, was the job "Brexit"? If so he's got that job done in a kinda "get Burnley in the PL" way. Smashed through obstacles to the high level goal and made a stack-load of money, but was totally ill-equipped to make it stick long term, then buggered off to a better paid job elsewhere?

I think that’s the job he’s referring to.


In the same way that the job of being a father is to get someone pregnant and then f*** off

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I hope she stays true to that and goes after Labour too. No Government is perfect and they’re sure to slip and need calling out, just not on a daily basis like the current rabble!

It looks like she is staying true to calling out politicians.

Sounds like some clueless, incompetent former US head of state.
