She's great, not afraid to go against the grain,cutely old fashioned and by all accounts a lovely lady although she comes across quite acidic.

I don't really see her as homophobic - her argument against gay marriage was understandable, she thinks the age of consent should be higher for everyone, and she said what consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business.

She is homophobic I don't believe that it debatable (or at least she was)

I think she's both - but if the opinions get left behind and she continues to just hate on everyone then she'll just be amazing

I think Ann is allowed to have her view and her vote which just one of many and she is in fact now retired. Shane handled the conversation well and very mature when talking about it to Big Brother. I like him a lot.

Straight forward and forthright.
She has her views, probably based on her religious beliefs, as long as she doesn’t go out to be personally malicious with anybody she is ok by me.

I didn't know this.

I guess it depends on where her intention came from. If it was something like: "the jury is still out on whether or not gay parents can provide the same benefits as straight, so why change the status quo" it's somewhat understandable, as would be deep rooted religious beliefs.

But if it came from something stupid like "gays are paedos" or whatever then ... no

Love her or hate her though I still can't get over that naturally occurring political discussions are happening on CBB :laugh:

She is retired and she has achieved more in a couple of days for political debate than the labour lady did on IAC in 3 weeks :laugh:

Whether people agree with Ann or not she has her views and surely people knew what to expect from a strong opinionated political figure? :joker: who's tough as old boots .

she comes across abrupt and miserable at times but that's who she is.

She seems out of her comfort zone at times in the BB house and it sometimes felt like she was isolating herself, but she openly talks to everyone . And she has discussions with people not arguments .

It's obvious she get's on better with the men and she prefers male company and when Andrew was making her bed it was like a comedic side to her when she kept fidgeting about with the covers , as she was itching to do chores :laugh: .

I don't understand what point you're trying to make :notimpressed: :conf:.
You have Jim Davidson of all people as your avatar so hardly a role model .
Davidson is homophobic, racist , sexist the lot :whistle: .

Ann Widdecombe didn't even want to say the word "queer" in case she caused offence . Jim Davidson offends everyone and he get's pleasure out of it because he's vile .

chuff me dizzy

I don't fail to see anything.
Your argument makes no sense as "an old bat " isn't as bad as the example you used . Old bat is still cheeky ,but maybe it was used as that's how some people might describe Ann .

I stick by my thoughts on Jim Davidson being a vile sack of vomit :hee: . But support him all you want.

uhhh kinda both. I don't like her and I obviously don't like her views but she is entertaining as hell and I think this big brother would be anywhere as near as good if she wasn't on it.

VERY ANNOYING OLD BAT. She is setting herself apart from everyone with her moral high ground. Her and India out please

Why are people like CBB17 Winston absolutely hated and seen as like Satan but when it's Ann wth very similar opinions it's ok?

Was that the ukip idiot? .
His VT was unhealthily prejudice :bored:, and he had some ignorant statements, hardly the same as Ann plus he's a member of UKIP who are completely racist :facepalm: .

She's my favourite. I think she's straight talking and at times really funny. Not always intentionally, but what a great housemate!

Pass.

I have no time for the young PC manipulators constantly trying to shove their liberal agendas down our throats on our TVs, PCs and papers at every given opportunity.

Ann has more to offer than a world full of such group-thinking robots put together.

Calm down. Time is money, and people can spend with whom they like. In this case it wouldn't be Ann who's missing out, but that's still Underscore's choice and business. It might not even be because of "PC" reasons, maybe he just finds her annoying.

Maybe I just find such ageist, judgmental opinions hypocritical and annoying.
