Don't think we need more awareness of miscarriages. We know they happen, they are very very sad. But it's not a new thing that we don't know exist.
Seems z listers just want to make a bit of money to tie them over while grieving.

I watch Loose Women for light-hearted entertainment, not to hear about tragic things that have happened. We have it on GMB, Lorraine, This Morning & Loose Women, misery sharing.

Do ITV not warn guests not to swear before they appear on then show? He didn't even say it on the spur of the moment/under stress. He was so relaxed and calm when he said it. I'm glad Linda pulled him up on it.

Yes Linda of all people telling someone else off for swearing

I suppose she’s been reprimanded so many times that she feels she can pass on her ‘wisdom’ to someone else
 
I think Charlene is conceited.

She's had a private education and that's provided her with opportunities most people - even white people - could only dream of. She's been incredibly fortunate.

She used to have a shiny straight bob. She only started with the afro when it became the fashion.

But instead of acknowledging her background, she has to talk about the black experience. But her black experience isn't an authentic one, whereas Brenda and Judi's is.

So, she doesn't talk about her own personal experiences. Instead, she talks in rhetoric and hyperbole. She lectures based on what she perceives is the way black people think and feel.

She can't reconcile that she's had a much easier life than some of the white panellists, and so we're left with an inauthentic, patronising and defensive attitude.
 
You have hit the nail on the head. I didn’t think of it like that.

She is trying to fight on behalf of under privileged black women who she probably has never had any exposure to which is why it comes across fake.

She should not be at the helm, the power of that goes to her head.
 
Charlene pisses me off so much I’ve nearly sent complaints to ITV. Not that it would do much good. It’s like she wants to ram race into every conversation. She so angry and aggressive about it. Why be like that? Imagine being like that everyday of your life. Just chill and join in discussions without finding an angle every time.

As for JSP not knowing about racism when travelling etc try living in Northern Ireland when parts of it are anti English especially when I lived there. Had English money thrown back in my face when I tried to use it in the wrong part of town.
I also experienced it when visiting Morocco, slightly different as they drooled over blondes with blue eyes and made disgusting comments(Obviously a minority) My friends who were both dark haired but had a blonde daughter would get spat at in the local markets.

scottish money has always been hard to in use in England, when its legal tender, I've had it refused to use it on many occasions in the past, we normally laugh at the fact it gets refused, things a lot better now though

I found it creepy that she videoed her daughter giving birth. If it was a man saying that, people would be calling him a 'wrong'un'.

The black people I know, never mention being black. It never comes up in the conversation.

Oh the irony of Linda ‘for f*cks sake’ Robson pulling him up for swearing!

I remember the days when she was ostracised from TV for not wearing a poppy (I can’t even be arsed to google the reason she gave for not wearing one, but suffice to say it did not go down well).
