Did anyone hear the brilliant Janey?

JG doesn't feature here in England, as far as I know, so I'm not too familiar with her work. In the early days of Covid someone posted a few YouTube videos where she dubbed Nicola's press conferences - I found them very funny especially when NS totters off in her high heels.

But I just can't get past the ugly racism expressed many times when she was a fully-grown middle-aged woman, not a callow teen. That sort of stuff comes from the heart.

Out of interest, did she have a Damascene conversion and educate herself out of racism, or was she exposed?

In a statement, Ms Godley said: “These historic tweets that people have quite rightly found offensive are deeply hurtful and shows my lack of empathy and zero self-awareness and come from a time of ignorance in my life.

“I am a firm believer in progress not perfection, I will continue to progress.

“People have every right to see who they are supporting and what values they hold and looking through their past social media is the way forward. I apologise for every single offensive word I wrote.

“The offensive replies from me, were to accounts that threatened me and I lashed out with abhorrent heckles. Their accounts were suspended, I should have blocked and reported them and not argued back.

“Comedy is no excuse for shocking and hurting people with words. I will endeavour to be better in future.

“There are fake tweets that were created to threaten me, but notwithstanding, the ones I wrote, I take responsibility for.

Burn the witch

I don't believe in witch hunts and I'm certainly not condoning anyone dishing out abuse to her, but as I said before on this thread, some of the things she said were, in my view, unforgiveable. Yes, she has apologised and some people may think that's enough. I'm not a forgiving person.

She is sometimes funny but too often her foul mouthed rants are just embarrassing. I am sorry she is ill but on Twitter she currently seems to be milking the situation and in the past she has said some truly unforgivable things.

Oh dear-can anybody be said to be milking (possibly terminal) cancer?

An apology due to all cancer sufferers, survivors or not- perhaps?

I cannot understand your reasoning there Maw. All cancer sufferers, survivors or not do not go on social media milking their condition. In my opinion Jamey is doing just that. We
