Charlotte Church

[Otta]

Yep. And I wonder how much of it was to tell everyone about the great things they were going to do, and how much was to slag off their opponent.

I'm liking her more and more.

[Loz]

That had all the depth of a Katie Hopkins' diatribe.

[Louisa]

What Loz said.

Louisa.

I would have thought that the current situation in Greece should be enough to warn against kneejerk hard-ish left stick-it-to-the-man politics.

[Otta]

I just admire her response to the personal abuse she's been getting.

Yes I would agree with that.

There is some absolute gold in the comments section. My favourite: "Spot on churchy the powers that be are afraid of you because all the grannies love you".

A close runner up was: "Seems to me, Charlotte, that you have more balls than do your detractors. And, being a lass, that?s a scrotal burden you?re not encumbered with."

'Absolute gold'? You reckon? Low standards, I guess, Loz. They're piss-poor. Cringeworthy. The second one doesn't even make any sense, no matter how many times you read it.

Never ceases to amaze me - the level of basic misogyny meted-out to largely harmless female targets who stick dare to their head above the parapet. Doesn't matter if they're ugly, stunning, razor sharp, a bit dim, have a doctorate or one CSE, common as muck or dead posh, written fifty books or one the first one.. one things's for sure: there will always be a load of arseholes lining-up to tell them to get back in their box, love.

Erm, yes. Piss-poor and cringeworthy are why they are 'gold'. The first one didn't make a lot of sense, either.

You're the last person I thought I'd have to explain that to.

[*Bob*]

Seems I am absolutely the last person to, umm, not read the thread properly.

As you were!

Considering your baiting of the "largely harmless" Louisa last week, you might be on a bit of dodgy ground there, *Bob*.

[Jeremy]

Not quite sure what Bob said to Louisa which could be construed as sexist?

[*Bob*]

I don't think I've ever suggested (for example) cutting Louisa's breasts off with a rusty saw because she doesn't like Marks and Spencer?

No. So I think I'm ok.

I haven't. Loz is struggling with the definition of misogyny.

[Loz]

There was more than a whiff of "back in your box, love", though.

[*Bob*]

no there wasn't

But I admire nonetheless your spirited by daft attempt to start a fire without any fuel.

After your master-class that started this?

[*Bob*]

As explained a short while back, I was mistaken. I mis-read the thread, then said so.

There's no need get all fired-up like I've just shat on your doorstep and then start making up guff. Not necessary.

[Blah Blah]

I'm with Otta. I like that Church is fighting her corner. And some women ARE given a raw deal for having opinions. Is that sexism? Misogyny? (that word always seems to get the most guilty of men riled up). At the end of the day she has an opinion. We may agree with it, we may not, but sneering because of her background or gender isn't clever. Like I said before, I like her style.

[Louisa]

I better not get involved incase I'm patronised "back into my box, love".

Louisa.

[Blah Blah]

And I like your style too Louisa, even though I don't always agree with you :)

I hope it's not because she is a bit Futurama Welshie

It's too easy to laugh at the intensity/excitability/passion

sometimes but it is a trait sorry to say and it's so nice

that she does seem to care :)
