Joanna Lumley an MP ?

[MacGee]

should she enter politics proper, or is she too decent for that shower ?

[fullbeem]

I heard last night Ester Ranzen is up for MP of Luton.

[Eric Mc]

I don't think media luvvies would be any better people than "normal" politicians.

[Wacky Racer]

To think she was once Ken Barlow's girlfriend in Coronation Street........

Does MP stand for Massive Premolars, then I concur.

I fking hope not

[mrmaggit]

Remember that programme featuring Jane Horrocks as "Mrs Pritchard", well I think something like this could now actually happen. All it would take is one clue-d up person making the right sounds on either "question time" or confronting an MP on the street to start the snowball.

We all go on about "none of the above", we just need a somebody to strike a cord........

[DrTre]

Sapphire and Steel in government!?

Brilliant.

[HUW JONES]

On the News I recall her advising that it was fking unlikely or words to that effect.

[MacGee]

prob is too honourable to be a sponger. I think only thing about MPs is that the ones who want to be MPs are the ones who definitely should'nt be ones.

Thought she was off to the euro gravy train.

[Morningside]

I like her as who she is portraying ie Purdey, Sapphire etc.

But as a person she somehow comes across as a bit, dunno, ummm.... Grumpy with a short fuse.

BTW: The train station episode (S&S) is still creepy.

You jest. If that was a criteria then Lumley would be above approx 90% of the incumbents.

Yes who on earth would be stupid enough to vote for an out of work actor



I do think there should be a ban on any more accademics / lawyers / baristers

[supersingle]

She could be Minister for MILFs.

who said only ,lawyers, barristers or academics are clever enough?


How about clever people, regardless of their professional qualifications.

people who understand complex problems without being fed all their 'knowledge' from graduate unelected civil servants would be a good start.
