What's so special about her voice? Plenty of other kids with better voices not given the opportunity she was given. Wouldn't mind if she stuck to just that, but she felt we all wanted to hear her opinions about everything else, including stuff she clearly knows nothing about. Get off your soapbox love, no one is interested.

1/10


The 1 is for not mentioning clique or bullying.

If you throw hand grenades, expect them to be sometimes thrown back at you...

I was there yesterday and like some of you above, when Charlotte Church came on stage to give her speech, didn't expect much. I was pleasently suprised. She gave a terrific speech, that she'd written beforehand and clearly put a lot of thought into. It's very easy to be cynical and sneer, but how many of you above heard her speech yesterday?


Russell Brand is not the best speaker as we all know. To be honest I think he makes it up as he goes along, but his support does bring coverage of what is for many a serious cause. Austerity is hitting the poorest and most vulnerable people hard, especially people like the disabled. 250,000 people joined that march (a police estimate annonuced on the main stage). And let's remember that only 23.5% of the electorate voted for this miracle conservative majority. They don't represent 76.5% of the electorate at all, some of whom are celebrities and should be free to lend support without being ridiculed.

0/10


The zero is because you and some others keep up with this nonsense of ranking someone out of 10, It's become repetitive and it's getting predictably boring (ring any bells?). When it first started a solid 5 would have been in order, but it's tedious now, almost as tedious as me (apparently).

She was a child with a lot of talent, so obviously people hated her for that. She had an incredible voice, if you found her annoying you should have blamed the parents, not the little girl.


She was a very annoying chat show host / failed pop star, I'll give you that.

After the election she was called a champagne socialist when she went to a rally in Cardiff (I think), and she responded with a blog which I was really impressed with. And I don't like the "champagne socialist" term. It implys that if you have money you should lose all social conscience.

I don't care how posh someone is / sounds.


Posh.. ? She don't sound posh.. That was her TV voice..


I worked in Telecoms and I had my Telephone voice. I was told 'you sound real posh on the phone'

Well it does if I'm speaking professionally. Not so if I'm talking with friends. init.

It's not the issue of austerity being raised, that I or anyone else has an issue with. That is of course an important topic we should all be aware of and I applaud these people for at least raising it. But why is it we need 'z' list celebrities jumping on a bandwagon as the voice of such an important issue? Makes a mockery of the whole thing IMO.

    • It's nothing to do with being a cheerleader for labour - it's about starting to address some of the problems inherent in the economy. Many many many other essential groups of people have contributed fair share or had industries eliminated before so it's not some attack on Farnmers "If 500 farms sell off 20% of their land each year (the PMs estimate on the back of a Rizla paper)  then how long before we lose large chunks of farm land "?  "As for giving away land, sure providing they live 7 years afterwards " - is that so unlikely? Of the 500  farms in the example, how many would this help? Most I'd say I just haven't seen anything like the same "but what about the nurses/the police/the miners" as I have about the farmers - it's quite extraordinary    
    • Andrew and Arnold are very good. They have UK based techies and are proactive in managing OpenReach as the copper supplier. 
    • We're not talking about people who've bought farms. We're talking about people who have inherited multi-million pound estates, having done nothing to earn it. Why should they not have to pay some tax on that.  
    • If 500 farms sell off 20% of their land each year (the PMs estimate on the back of a Rizla paper)  then how long before we lose large chunks of farm land ?  As for giving away land, sure providing they live 7 years afterwards  Stop being a labour cheerleader and put yourself in farmers wellies for a moment.  Farming is a necessity, doesn't make Massive profits and after you consider the 7 days a week often 14 hour days, I bet most farmers don't even earn minimum wage per hour.  You will soon be whinging if there's no fresh veg on the shelves to go with your non existent turkey at Chrustmas.
