Has The Yasmin Alibhai Brown Thread

[Spicerack]

been accidentally closed?

[Bobbisox1]

Oh?thats the one I put up Spicey and it was going okay when I went out, I do wish a reason was given for these removals

[Spicerack]

I wanted to say, I'm astonished at the number of ABers who say they've never heard of her.
And tell Bobbi that Matthew Wright is on Talk Radio now. (with Kevin, the TV guy)

[Spicerack]

Apparently it's easy to accidentally close them, Bobbi.

[Bobbisox1]

I knew he worked for TR , Kevin O’Sullivan doesn’t appear with JV either
About the removal, okay we don’t get answers but would be good if the perpetrators would hold their hands up !

[Jackdaw33]

Totally lost. Who is she and what is her claim to fame?

[Apc2604]

Spicerack - I was one of those who said I have never heard of her. I have just looked her up and recognise her photos as someone who we have turned off on many occasions. A dreadful woman!

[Bobbisox1]

JD she’s a columnist for the Telegraph, total left wing ,racist bigot see here in the middle

[Spicerack]

She's a pro race-baiter, JD. I'm sure you must have seen/heard her on TV/radio.

[woofgang]

As I said earlier, every time her name is mentioned it makes it more likely that she will get work. If you dislike her then don't mention her on the internet.

[Bobbisox1]

Try again

[Bobbisox1]

Woof I dong like Corbyn but he gets trotted out daily

[Bobbisox1]

// don’t//

[New Judge]

Yes I'd prepared an answer to the earlier thread. Might as well use it here.

I only know Ms Alibhai-Brown from her occasional appearances on “The Papers”, BBC’s nightly look at the following day’s headlines. A ghastly woman. I notice that a few other minor has-been politicians have been joining the 50p bandwagon (about as much as most of them are worth). But this reaction (from a miniscule politician representing one of the “also ran” parties at the last General Election) really split my sides:

//Eleanor Rylance, a Liberal Democrat councillor for Broadclyst and the party’s prospective parliamentary candidate for the East Devon seat, called for people to send the coins back as a form of protest. “I intend to take every ‘Brexit 50p’ that falls into my hands into a bank and ask them to swap it for a proper one,”//

But it gets worse:

//She added: “If enough of us do it, it will be a productivity drain and akin to a strike without striking. Plus we should not be normalising this right-wing coup. This, yet again, has all the hallmarks of dictatorship. They’ll be planning huge, overawing buildings to scare us with next.”//

Ms Rylance has obviously far too much time on her hands is she can pop down to the bank every time she is given a 50p piece in her change. And to what end? We’re still leaving next Friday.

//A black female version of Gilbert Harding - does anyone remember him?//

I do. I remember seeing him on “What’s My Line” with Lady Isobel Barnet, David Nixon and Barbara Kelly (aka Mrs Bernard Braden). Eamonn Andrews was the host. Mr Harding was a most disagreeable old curmudgeon but I’m not sure his views would concur with those of Ms. A-B. Anybody recall the “Saggar Makers’ Bottom Knocker”?

[Bobbisox1]

Thanks NJ, obviously someone ( s) went too far,Arh well, pleased I went out :0)

[Jackdaw33]

If she's that left wing, how come she works for the Telegraph?

[Bobbisox1]

Haha hard question JD, a one I can’t answer

[woofgang]

Bobbi, I have no interest in controlling what people post...the same applies to Corbyn...everybody really...and the principle remains the same. On the internet, if you don't like people then don't mention them!

[Bobbisox1]

I know you haven’t woof but it’s a general thing in News ...isn’t ?

[woofgang]

general thing or not Bobbi, it is still true that so far as the internet goes, if you want to do something that will adversely affect a sleb that you dislike then in practical terms ignoring them hurts them and ranting about them benefits them.

[Bobbisox1]

I’ve said what I have on this or at least answered ( not my thread ) it’s ran it’s course now
