Ruth Kelly

[Tooting Gull]

How is this scary religious zealot in such a position of power?

As Education Secretary her Opus Dei beliefs were widely thought to impair her judgment on what was best for the majority of kids.

And as Equality minister, the easiest question in the world to answer should be 'Is homosexuality a sin?' That would be a no, presumably. But she couldn't, and will never, answer that question as she thinks it's 'yes'.

She's clearly entitled to her private beliefs but if they are that offensive to many people she has no place in a leading role in government and public office.

I think she's a total liability and should be canned instantly.

It is one of those awkward questions that gets posed. You can't lie, but her silence will be just a damning as to admitting what she believes.

Homosexuality a sin??!! It is a part of life.

Can her!!

There's one fundamental problem with politics. Politicians.

All of those New Labour Sheep are a liability.

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

It's that weirdly androgynous, far too deep for a woman, bit camp for a bloke voice that always gets me. That woman just isn't quite human. And when you know she has an Opus Dei barbed garter ripping into her thigh for two hours a day, she then enters fruitcake territory.

If she can believe in all that kind of stuff, what else can she believe - that the stadium site really is of Outstanding Natural Beauty? That there really are plenty of Other Sites? That Dick Knight is the Antichrist?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Oh dear. Perhaps all these "Does you boyfriend" chants will come back to haunt us. We are obviously all sinners!!

I misread this and thought you said she should be caned instantly.

I thought I'd uncovered the weirdest NSC sexual obsession since Gunter's desire for The Cheeky Girls.

That's an image I worryingly now can't get out of my head.

Ruth Kelly scares the living daylights out of me. The voice, The look, in fact almost everything about her.

If you want my opinion I think that she is an Alien masquerading as a Human being, bent on world domination.

 

[The Large One]

Yeah, but she is going to grant us Falmer, so bollocks to her looks.

Face it, Prescott was no oil painting, either. Oil slick maybe, but not an oil painting.

Maybe she's the woman that can finally prove all David Icke's reptilian theories.

Barking mad, IMO. BURN HER.

 

[Scoffers]

The problem with politicians is they never say what they actually feel for fear of being left out in the cold.

Now what would be a real sin, is us not getting Falmer

 

[Pavilionaire]

Graham Kelly, Lorraine Kelly, Matthew Kelly, Henry Kelly and now Ruth Kelly.

How can you take anyone seriously with that surname? She needs a catchphrase, and fast.

Not before she says yes to Falmer!!!

She is also apparently now in trouble for saying people should stop being nimbys. Admittedly this was said in the context of housing rather than football stadia; but its a start!

Any way seeing as how Yvette Cooper was responsible for the decision last time and she hasn't moved in the reshuffle; I suspect Ruth Kelly will leave it up to her; because as Sec. of State she'll have bigger fish to fry (especially on Fridays, boom-boom!).
