Karen Voldemort once again proving that being adept at mental arithmetic is no predictor of general intelligence.
One would hope for a prolonged period of silence from this infuriating creature but there’s little chance of that. Though given the number of times she’s likened Tory party policy to 1930s Germany, she was notably silent when Jews were suffering in a manner that was actually like 1930s and 40s Germany.
The reason she and St Gary, the Toby-jug of Woke, incite so much loathing is that they are (wildly-over) paid by all of us BBC licence-fee payers. But now that I no longer have to fund her anti-Tory bile she can witter on to her hearts content about whatever ignorant, ahistorical nonsense she wishes to, and good luck to her.
I used to quite like Vorderman on Countdown and thought her original makeover was quite impressive.
Now she just comes across as sad, desperate and plasticky.
Her anti-Tory witterings are of the same calibre as the bloke on X who said he’s going to try and blame the demise of the Cadbury’s Caramac on the Tories. (I think he was joking, but anti-Toryism on social media is so rabid, you can’t be sure).

She should be applauded for recognising that her desire (and right) to comment freely on contentious issues, within the law, is incompatible with working for a publicly funded broadcaster with a duty to impartiality.

She brings to mind the Tony Curtis description of Marilyn Monroe; ‘Breasts like granite and a brain like Swiss cheese ‘.

I thought she was quitting so she’d have more time to spend with her plastic surgeon and Botox practitioner..

“…self-styled victims of the Brexit period are happy to embrace the worst excesses of his platform.”
“…the chance for some of Britain’s most sensible voices…”
The latter point follows directly after the former.
Something doesn’t add up.

The current left tends to be more tribal, hysterical, and uniform in its opinions than the cente-right. So you can usually expect more balanced, meaningful and piercing criticisms of the Tories from the ”right wing media.”

Ah Dear …the temptation of Twitter and the concept of Followers !!! Arise St Gary and Saintly Carol …I suppose they really do think they’ve got something to say to all the faithful hanging on their words ….Well to echo Life of Brian “ There’s a mess in here but there’s no Messiah “

Is this article about Vorderman? To me it seems the vitriol is about X. Is Fred a Guardian escapee?

Carlson was forced out of a job he was in for the power & money. Vorderman resigned from a job so that she could speak freely.

Good for her. Great observation, Fred!
