She is on Jeremy Vine now.

She has found her place with Farage - in the party of the "i'm all right Jacks"

I hate her attitude to all the 50's women like myself who are struggling to work an extra 6 years. She has her pension so it's a case of I'm alright Jack.

I loved the skit Victoria Wood did of her - it was hilarious.

Victoria Wood- so funny. Just a bit worried now did she know something we don't!!

Agree Elen. I don’t agree with everything she says but I respect her for being honest.

NanKate Sat 27-Apr-19 08:35:12

Well said Elen.

Elenkalubleton Sat 27-Apr-19 08:25:33

Well she may have said things everyone here dosnt agree with,but she’s forthright and the only politician who seems to want to bring Brexit to a conclusion, and stop all this faffing about.

I really do not understand how any woman can vote for AW.

Callistemon Fri 26-Apr-19 23:15:12

I went off the woman when she was saying that women are making a fuss about nothing in regard to the change in retirement age which is making ladies lose thousands of pounds. I believe that m.p's still get theirs at 60!!!
nurse1crys the MPs won't be getting a State pension at 60 - they'll get it at the same age as everyone else.
I presume you mean the works pension, which, if anyone is in a works pension scheme, can be paid at 60.

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown always seems to speak common-sense.

I just addressed my post to you in the choir Lily as I thought you would ‘get it’. ?

Lily65 Fri 26-Apr-19 22:48:38

Blimey maryliza truly you are preachin to the choir.

maryeliza54 Fri 26-Apr-19 22:38:15

Oh I forgot I would have to be amusing as well

maryeliza54 Fri 26-Apr-19 22:37:41

So Lily it would be fine and dandy wouldn’t it if I said all gay people should receive aversion therapy as long as I was being honest? Who knew that honesty trumps homophobia and misogyny ? I suppose wearing a rosette would help as well.

Anniebach Fri 26-Apr-19 22:32:41

Why that remark Lily ?

Lily65 Fri 26-Apr-19 22:20:04

Ah well ,that's fine and dandy then

Anniebach Fri 26-Apr-19 22:05:28

I have respect for Anne Widdicombe, she is honest , I met her once during a general election campaign, I was working on the Labour Party stand in our indoor market, in trots Widdie with her big blue rosette, she is little, her hair was that harsh black then, she did stop to speak and was amusing.

amt101 Fri 26-Apr-19 21:52:08

I obviously have a totally different attitude to AW from most of you. Think she is outspoken and amusing and hope she gets voted on as an MEP. Assuming of course democracy doesn’t happen.

Lily65 Fri 26-Apr-19 21:13:02

nice.

Nanniejc1 Fri 26-Apr-19 21:12:45

Some of the people on here are so prejudiced,nasty & rude.We all have our own opinions but surely we could all try to be a bit kinder & less bitchy!

Nanniejc1 Fri 26-Apr-19 21:07:48

Legs55 I agree with you,I admire Ann for speaking out,I voted fo Brexit as did all of my family,everybody I know & most of the region where I live.I will vote for the Brexit Party unless the Conservative party comes to its senses & puts a Brexiteer in charge.The sooner we leave the better......!!

Lily65 Fri 26-Apr-19 18:21:30

Oh Lordy how those flag wavers would love to take back control.

Slightly unfortunate, its not 1940 any more.

varian Fri 26-Apr-19 18:19:19

"Take back control of our borders" - but not our only land border with an EU country.

If the brexit nonsense is not stopped, there won't be a border on the island of Ireland, so not only can goods (which might be substandard rubbish from anywhere) freely cross that border, but people, including the entire population of Romania and Bulgaria who might travel freely to the Republic of Ireland, as they are quite entitled to do, can then take a bus or a train or just saunter across the non-existent border into NI and then go on to the rest of the UK.

How is that "taking back control of our borders"???????

Lily65 Fri 26-Apr-19 18:18:53

Thanks M, it disgusts me

Lily65 Fri 26-Apr-19 18:10:44

no nonsense, Brexit means Brexit, Our Boys, blah blah, sovereignty, make out own laws
