....like a kids writer scorned! What is it with celebrities like this that think their view is in anyway canvassed?

[kvalidir]

Any thinking person with any moral fibre whatsoever should, if they have a platform, use it to do good. She has a massive platform and clearly believes in what she's saying and tbh I can't disagree with her, although I don't personally like the woman.

what makes you think yours is? Hers is worth as much as yours

[spathiphyllum]

Rowling has proved a knowledge of systems, she created a universe

[ToraToraTora]

jno, I'm not on the bbc web site effecting the gullible am I?

[kvalidir]

No you're on Answerbank trying to... ;-)

[ToraToraTora]

I think the BBC has a much bigger audience.

[kvalidir]

Yes but that's my point, if you could get a platform on the BBC you most likely would, like I would or JK Rowling would- she's just more famous than the two of us put together I imagine so... she gets to spout her opinions on there and we get to do it on here x

[jackthehat]

Good grief.....woman has opinion and shares that opinion on a social media platform!

What on earth was she doing out of the Kitchen????

[dannyk13]

Doubt if she even knows the purpose of a kitchen.

I'm not on the bbc web site

neither is she. You're still not reading your own links, are you?

She is not, as Sky claim, leading the criticism; that's just their ranking. But her tweets are funnier than most. *That's* the way to influence people.

Clearly once you have made something of yourself in life you should learn to keep your gob shut. Only nameless, faceless, non-entities are entitled to an opinion.

[Old_Geezer]

Anyone who can't get behind the majority decision and help it be a success will have a voiced opinion of less value than those who do. If one has a platform, then use it for good, not to the detriment of one's nation. If one can not use it for good, resist using it at all.

[kvalidir]

But what if you think what's happening is not for the good of your nation ( as I do)? It's then your absolute moral duty to try to do something about that, and she is.

[Spicerack]

I agree with jack. Wouldn't hurt some of you birds to stick to cakes and recipes and suchlike. Leave the heavy lifting to the men.

[kvalidir]

Sorry Spicey, do you want a sandwich? x

[Mamyalynne]

Only is it's crustless Kval, otherwise leave it for the big boys.

[Mamyalynne]

^ if not is

[tonyav]

She should stick to writing fairy stories imo.

not to the detriment of one's nation

her nation voted 62-38 to remain, so she's right in line with the large majority.

[Old_Geezer]

Her nation is the UK and they voted out. Maybe word's not got around.
