Miriam Margoyles - very outspoken lady

I met her a few years ago and found her very nice. She was doing some readings in our library, which she did very well. She has a beautiful speaking voice.

Gosh! What a judgemental lot you are 😮

Are you judging us all, Netty?

😂

I loved her description of providing a sexual service to a gentleman who rowed her across to catch a ferry in (I think) one of the Greek Islands and her friend misunderstanding the meaning of what she'd said.

She is a crashing snob but at least she is a funny crashing snob. But I take her comments about HRH's comedic talents with a small siberian salt mine.

Disgustingly she thinks her backside has entertainment value, poor deluded twit

Absolutely!

She is not representative of any group, anyone except herself 😁

Gay people are just trying to live their lives. That's something I learned from FFLAG Friends and family of lesbian and gay people. Some are outlandish but most want to just live their lives like anyone else.

Well yes, of course, but MM being extrovert is not stopping them from living as they please. Nobody sees her as representative of all lesbians. Do lesbians need a role model? Surely they can just be themselves.

I am the mother of a lesbian daughter and I feel that M M is a terrible role model for people like her.

Why does she need to be such a show off

“Oh, and I also wasn't aware she'd posed nude for Augustus John -- was he at one time employed painting a circus marquee?”

I don't like her smutty talk and don't find her at all amusing. She seems to want to shock people.

What a lovely insightful book review Luckygirl I enjoyed reading it.
As for Miriam, I find her attention seeking behaviour stomach churning but her intelligence and insights thought provoking

I think she's great! She says what I think

I am very wary of people who 'say it like it is' , they usually come across to me as a boorish loudmouth without any thought of the consequences of their actions. If a younger person behaved like that they would be pilloried.

So...I'm not a fan!

Oh boy - I thought it was just me!

When I'm told that someone "tells it like it is" - I inwardly shrink.

I don' t easily tolerate men who bang on about their sexual exploits and indulge in the lavatorial humour of schoolboys - so the fact she's a woman doesn't make it any more tolerable.

And being intelligent doesn't make it OK - not for me anyway.

Can't stand the woman potty mouthed attention seeker

Why does she think we are interested in her bodily functions? We all have them, but don't feel a need to boast about them.

She's fully aware of what she is doing on This Morning where they all seem to hero worship her and expect the viewer to do the same.
She is one of those people who loves the limelight by goading, insulting, farting because without doing these things she would be totally forgotten.

I love her sense of humour. She’s absolutely hilarious and the fact she is so offensive is a plus, especially as we seem to be living in a time where people are terrified of offending others.

That’s one way of looking at it I suppose. 😂

I find her very rude at times, I saw her yesterday on Good Morning and whilst they were introducing her to say what she was asking for people to ring in with, whilst doing this she was firstly talking whilst eating radishes & secondly talking whilst eating an onion.

My MIL would say "Oh, she just does it for effect!" 😂

I don’t suppose she cares what our opinion of her is. And why should she?

When people I dislike (eg Holly Willowby) appear on TV I either put up with her or turn over.

I feel completely ambivalent toward her public persona, yet am totally unimpressed by her potty mouth.

I don’t like her …. She never offends me as I never watch her. Why anyone wastes time watching that cringe worthy foul mouthed woman is beyond me.
