Carol Vorderman On Government Figures

[roadman]

now if anyone knows numbers it is carol

I refuse to listen to anything that blerdy woman has to say since she started advertising rip off financial services.

[JimF]

Seems hypocritical, coming from someone with a reported net worth of £18m.

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, another champagne socialist.

[Atheist]

Why is it considered by some to be hypocritical to be against this tory govt even though one has a decent income and enjoys bubbly?
It's just a cheap jibe which saves the need to express a sensible and reasoned opinion.
If Carol enjoys bubbly, does that mean that she has to behave like a posh little rich girl who hates the plebs?

if someone with left wing views is poor… call it the politics of envy

if someone with left wing views is rich… call them a champagne socialist

anything other than addressing the argument!

[Zacs-Master]

Atheist, it was a cheap jibe, you’re right. Who do you suggest, with her estimated £18m in the bank, she gives her political support to?

[dave50]

Why do so many celebrities support left wing policies?

[Zacs-Master]

Funny isn’t it, Dave. As soon as the bank balance allows, they’re off spouting about corruption and unfairness. All when they have a huge financial safety net. Strange, eh!

[ToraToraTora]

Dave: "Why do so many celebrities support left wing policies? " - because they can afford to?

[Atheist]

Zacs; I wouldn't dream of lecturing her on what political party she should support. Strange question.

[Atheist]

Zacs; "Funny isn’t it, Dave. As soon as the bank balance allows, they’re off spouting about corruption and unfairness. All when they have a huge financial safety net. Strange, eh!"

Do you think "corruption and unfairness" is good, or acceptable?

[Atheist]

The attitude to Carol is a sort of politics of envy - envy of those who have the decency to speak up for the worse off in society.

[douglas9401]

I'd be quite happy for her to support my bid for parliamentary glory.

I have a suitable cloth to contain the corks.

[Tilly2]

Well done Carol. Sock it to 'em!

[Zacs-Master]

Of course I don’t think corruption and unfairness is acceptable. Just as I don’t think those who have made loads of dosh and have a public presence should be listened to any more than the man in the street.

[Zacs-Master]

It seems a fairly reasonable question, on a thread discussing a political stance made by a multi millionaire, to ask how you think someone in her privileged position should vote, to bring about an end to the things she’s preaching about.

Go on give it a try, Atheist.

[Atheist]

Zacs, you're an idealist. I don't expect people (rich or poor)who are celebs to take vows of silence. I do have respect for those who speak out on matters which are not aimed solely at their own welfare and well-being.

[naomi24]

Silly woman. She might be good at sums (as my mathematician friend puts it) but that doesn’t make her knowledgable or wise. far from it … clearly.

[Atheist]

Any comments on what she actaually said in the video?

[Zacs-Master]

Any idea who she should vote for?

I’m not an idealist, I’m just someone who can spot rank hippocrasy when they see it.

Vorderman’s body ‘enhancements’ are not the product of a sane mind.
