please joanna its time to stop

[sara3]

I think she's lovely and has done a fantastic job. good on her.

[naomi24]

I agree Sara. It makes a change to see right triumph. She's worked hard for this and she deserves all the praise she's receiving. Well done her!

[jno]

how do you mean - "We" have her parading in Nepal? Nepal isn't ours. She's gone there and they're thanking her. What's the problem? Switch to the shopping channel if you're getting bored, they have some great bargains.

[China Doll]

With all the negativity in the news, it's nice to see something positive.

[bluetac0]

you must have been watching the shopping channel to know that they have great bargains and i know that napal it not ours just there people

[Gromit]

She will now always be a heroine in some quarters because she has given the the Government a hard time and won.

So the press will follow her to Nepal and big her up, which is not really her fault. She has been put on a pedestal by the popular press.

She was considering standing as an MP bluetac0, so you had better start getting used to it.

[bluetac0]

if she stands as an MP then she could do really well
i hope she does. lets face it with the rabble we have at the moment she can hardly do worse

[Sqad]

bluetac.......I agree entirely.

I like the woman and admire what she has done BUT when she hijacked the Minister of whatever he was, in front of the cameras and basically forced him to make a decision, my admiration was diminished.

We have a system of Government whether you like it or not where policies are made in Parliament.

I fear that the future may hold policies being made by the popularity of a media icon in front of the TV cameras.

[Sweep2k]

She's done very well.

My admiration for her is tempered only slightly by the fact that she's not chosen that campaign (over any other) because she believes it to be the most morally imperative - but because her dad was a gurkha so she has a family interest.

It's like when you see celebrities on quiz shows giving their winnings to a retina disease charity "because my mother was affected by retina disease" rather than because it needs or deserves the money more than any other charity.

But that's petty of me really. :-)

[Bbbananas]

Hands off our Joanna. She's brill.

[Sqad]

sweep2k....it is not "petty" of you, it is the truth.

salla...."Hands off her?"....I wouldn't touch her with leggys'

[Bbbananas]

Sqad - you surprise me. I would have thought Joanna Lumley was just your cup of tea....?!

[Sqad]

salla....yepp...you know me too well.....I was just being silly I suppose. LOL

[zzxxee]

no bring it on i say horay for joanna lumley shes been an inspiration x

[Sqad]

I fear that the future may hold policies being made by the popularity of a media icon in front of the TV cameras.

Now it's Esther Rantzen

You first heard it on AB

[jno]

well, first it was Martin Bell, and very good he was too. Stood down exactly as he said he would, as well.

[rov1200]

I believe she is now looking to her next conquest.

[smudge]

I have always liked & admired Joanna Lumley, not just for her acting ability, but for her determination & assisting a good cause.

If someone does good for others, that's a kind positive thing & not be knocked.

Well done Joanna!

[smudge]

*not to be knocked
