This was a great interview, Carol certainly echoes my thoughts and views. I really admire her speaking out on issues of great concern and her ability to deal with the trolls. Carry on the good work,we need voices like hers
She doesn't just speak she acts, which I like.. hearing things is great and all but many just say something and then do nothing. There is so much to do though and the very people paid to take responsibility are at the top of the chain and all the way down is full of the corrupt or silent or compliant ...so not only are there few voices but few who act either. And the ones who do act are up against a corrupt system of robots who just hide evidence shunt things to another department its bloody aweful.
Enjoyed this ... we need people like Carol to keep the b'strds honest, agree with her or not, she is doing us all a favour. Good government is driven by good opposition it refines the pathway forward
Great stuff. Love Vordy on Twitter. I love that she has called out these covid scammers in .gov. Working class folk need champions and none are better that this woman. Respect. Loved that Paul O'Grady story, he was the best of us. Still get emotional thinking about him.
I’ve lived in France for the past 22 years and watched in ever increasing horror the demise of a once-respected country. If you’ve not bought “Now What” already I highly recommend it. I received my copy last Friday and I am thoroughly enjoying it (when I can grab it back from my husband who’s also enjoying it!). Well considered, well researched, well written ~ it’s clear Carol has written every single word herself as I can hear her voice as I read 👏👏👏👏
@@louisetaylor2131 You silly woman. You need to visit a country that is under a dictatorship to see what the word actually means. People who just trot out meaningless little quotes that they've read somewhere else (but clearly don't understand what they mean) are the reason why the quality of debate in this country has gone down the drain.
Payday loan adverts, ask her about lending her face and influence to such evil pernicious companies that feed off the desperation of the poorest in society. It might have been a long time ago, but those companies caused such damage to many people.
Really striking a chord for me Carol. I was born on the same day and brought up just down the road from you. I also lived in poverty but benefited from the education system - even ending up at Uni and eventually with a degree and 2. Masters. I cant imagine making the leap from there to what I have worked in if i had to start now. We were both lucky! Btw I worked with your sister!
The misogyny; outrageous how it's normalised, especially on social media. I'm glad she's not staying quiet and using her voice. There's too much noise from men's voices and opinions, not enough women being heard.
@hannadd4787 it is outrageous. What happened to Andrea Abbott in Parliament was unbelievable. She was bullied and then even worse she was ignored and silenced while MPs were discussing her. I saw with my own eyes that she stood several times to speak about what had happened to her but wasn't invited to contribute, she was silenced
And then you get a comment like the one from the woman above, and the only thing she can think of to say relates to Vorderman's plastic surgery. A mountain still to climb.........
Quite funny to complain about misogyny whilst also saying "there's too much noise from men's voices and opinions" in the same comment. The self delusion and hypocrisy is shocking.
Totally agree on your education views Carol. The point you made on the access to universities we had in 1970 and 80s is the way it should be. Rather than the pre war model we seem to have come back to.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Why? Do you understand that places were capped back then? Is your head so far up your own backside you can't see the issues this has created in Scotland, with more foreign fee paying students getting places over poor kids? It's a pipe dream for ignorant people.
@johnnywarnerperfectroad66. Yes, but it’s even worse. Now we have Mrs Thatcher’s “ private” universities, Mickey-Mouse degrees and a whole alphabet-soup of invented “qualifications”. All part of a plan to destroy to our growing access to our heritage -a treasure-house of learning and enquiry that took hundreds of years to build. It’s the dumbing-down project, the preservation of inherited privilege.
Carol, I am of your generation, and I think you are great! I appreciate the commitment to truth and accountability in life and politics. I love the fact that you can ignore the trolls, and parse thru the dogma of personal politics. Misogyny and Misandry exist. The trick is to find the middle ground, and realise we are all human, none of us are perfect, and we are all contradictory entities. Stuff happens..smile
I agree with the comments regarding the media bubble and having disgraced politicians on and treating them with deference. I have never understood how Nigel Farage obtained the huge amount of coverage over the last ten years when he was essentially a nobody. He was treated as a leader of a major political party although he wasn't even an MP and his party has been boosted as a result.
This was better structured and more illuminating than the chat with Ava. As a (slightly) younger post menopausal woman, I think it’s great how she’s using her platform & look forward to seeing what Carol does next!
An excellent interview, all power to Carol in her quest to challenge the Westminster Bubble, they really don't care about the people that put them there and it's about time they were taught a lesson. Great channel :-)
Thanks Joe! Just found your podcast. Subscribed. This Lady, Carol Vorderman, is remarkably wonderful. As a human being and an agitator against hypocricy. And she does it with a smile! Was I younger, I would have fallen in love with her. I'm Swedish so that would've gone nowhere. Too long from Wales to Stockholm!
Carol ask Starmer about the pensioners winter fuel allowance and why MPs have retained tneir 2nd home fuel allowance? Ask Starmer about stopping the free speech in universities bill? If you want misogynist Lloyd Russell Moyle a Labour MP but nobody mentioned it. Quite correct about 90% of the political classes of all parties
She is an Absolute Legend 💫. Plain talking with the truth about what is wrong with the Establishment and the System.... Bravo 🎉 We love to hear you asking the questions that we would, give the chance.... Admirable..... 🥰😍😘
I'm not. You don't have to have a TV licence if you don't have live TV or use iPlayer. Now that we have streaming services like Netflix, Prime and Channel 4 on demand you don't need a license to watch TV. I haven't had a TV licence in best part of a decade.
Carol you are such a Beautiful Light in these Dark Day's, The Block Hole of Greed is pulling us all down and you Shine a Light on the Path they have Planed 4 us All....Thank You a Hero to all Humanity....❤
On the subject of women, we really need to get men on board sharing their disgust for misogyny - ATM it's too tiny a percentage of men doing this. Bring both together we can't eradicate misogyny without them.
Carol is wonderful!!! It starts with her intelligence and her emotional intelligence, then the fact that she has a profound understanding about reality and where so many people come from....derived from her own personal history. She's a wonderful person. and a brilliant political advocate!!! P.S I admit that I fancy her and find her incredibly beautiful, but that is both enhanced and made entirely irrelevant by her intelligence and her wonderful articulation,and support of so many humane policies - by her ability to use mathematics and logic - to apply a decent humanitarian outlook. I find her ideologically agreeable. That's what matters.
I would love to talk and help carol. I joined the TA in the 90’s. I was called lumpy jumper and split arse. I got slapped on the arse often but I dug my stilettos in and became the first woman to do my things. I fought for women’s rights in the army. I had to prove myself everyday. I was the Detachment Commander of light gun, the same one as at Edinburgh castle. In fact I was the first woman to fire it in 2006. 😁👊🏼. But the misogyny I took was unbelievable I just didn’t read it. We should chat about. 👏👏👏👏. I’ve two granddaughters and their future terrifies me 😢. I can shout and am from the west of Scotland and like carol I love banter lol x
It was interesting the ex politicians made a very personal attack based on nothing but rubbishing Carol. When I have read these sour grapes stories it shows them up not her. There is no age limit to starting a political career. Freedom of speech (if that still exists) entitles Carol as much as any one else to put forward her views, agree with them or not, but never stop her. I will be following her agenda more closely in the future because I stumbled on this pod cast by accident. Thank you.
You are a font of common sense and wisdom;in a world which is potentially teaming with people who also think and feel very similar to you, GREATER POWER to you!!!
Slightly younger than Carol but I was told I could only be a shop or factory worker, or office work. We were not told, or encouraged to look further because we were poor. This was in the south east, so I think we were even more discriminated against because we were poor in an affluent area.
Does the ignorant ex politician who said Carol should act her age and claim her bus pass not realise that outside Scotland, Wales and London you have to be of state pension age to get a bus pass? I believe she has about three years to wait.
Why isn't she Lady Vorderman, it goes against all my base principles ie abolish the Lord's, end the monarchy in government & public payouts BUT, she is an acceptance in my book.
Think Carol is bang on it.may take me twentyi minutes to write this comment so wont be able to read her book all should be able to read and I am 59 keep going joe
Many years ago, (1987-1992) teaching young adults with additional needs I used to conduct a weekly news analysis. Six newspapers. Spot the common story. Choose which story telling you think is most accurate. The Financial Times came out on top nine times out of ten.
She probably quit because she saw she was going to be fired. If it's anything less than gross misconduct there will have been a disciplinary process and she likely jumped ship as soon as she saw which way the wind was blowing. It's not uncommon. Employers often prefer it that way.
This was a great interview, Carol certainly echoes my thoughts and views. I really admire her speaking out on issues of great concern and her ability to deal with the trolls. Carry on the good work,we need voices like hers

She convinced people like your deluded selves to kill pensioners 👍🏻
Enjoyed this ... we need people like Carol to keep the b'strds honest, agree with her or not, she is doing us all a favour. Good government is driven by good opposition it refines the pathway forward
The bustards aren't honest. How can anyone keep a bunch of lairs honest?
She’s a narcississssssssista
Don't forget to get your booster.
Great interview. Really interesting on how MPs, now ex MPs felt entitled to launch misogynist abuse at Carol Vordaman
Carol is right when saying Starmer should apologise for cutting pensioners fuel allowance.
And keeping the 2 child c(r)ap which makes no sense to me. Politicians putting the "R" in cap.
I have always loved Vorders. Keep up the fanastic work, not just about political corruption but educating those kids!
Great stuff. Love Vordy on Twitter. I love that she has called out these covid scammers in .gov. Working class folk need champions and none are better that this woman. Respect. Loved that Paul O'Grady story, he was the best of us. Still get emotional thinking about him.
Keep up the good work . And the Good Law project
Carol really hits the nail on the head, I can agree with everything she has said, we need more people like her to tell it like it is.
I am 100% with Carol, PR voting 🗳️ system and mandatory voting. Just as they do in Australia. Thank you Carol, you’re a force for truth.
Only if they have an extra ballot for "none of the options given" where they are forced to switch their candidates.
I’ve lived in France for the past 22 years and watched in ever increasing horror the demise of a once-respected country.
If you’ve not bought “Now What” already I highly recommend it. I received my copy last Friday and I am thoroughly enjoying it (when I can grab it back from my husband who’s also enjoying it!). Well considered, well researched, well written ~ it’s clear Carol has written every single word herself as I can hear her voice as I read 👏👏👏👏
She is very good, very....at presenting her case....keep going Carol.
You are a legend ..... keep speaking up for us all ....such honest truths ...WELL SAID xxxx
Carol is more for taking politicians too account than the UK press.
💯
So when is she holding Labour to account then??
She's just another left wing, self important, idiot.
shame she ain’t doing it with the current government who she backed!
More than the UK press. Except Hislop.
@@djpeekay25Of course she will.
@@djpeekay25 Yes she has over the winter fuel payment so far
Loved this interview so much ❤❤
Im glad she says what i am thinking but in a much better way
Absolute diamond
Carry on the great work Carol 💪
I was never that bothered by Carol Vorderman of countdown. By god, Vorders the old bird with an iPhone is the hero we need just now.
Superb interview. Vorderman speaks the truth.
Carol Voderman, what a person. What a woman. The world could do with more like her.
We are one step away from totalitarian rule with your Labour Party, well done Carol for helping their cause
I've read the book and its truly a revelation.
A force of nature, can't wait to see what she does next
Keep your head down she backed Starmer the dictator
@@louisetaylor2131 You silly woman. You need to visit a country that is under a dictatorship to see what the word actually means.

@@bilbobaggins706 Very true.
Payday loan adverts, ask her about lending her face and influence to such evil pernicious companies that feed off the desperation of the poorest in society. It might have been a long time ago, but those companies caused such damage to many people.
Very well said.
TBF she probably thought nobody would be credulous enough to take 1000%+ loans.
I can still scarcely believe people used them.
Yeah other people's finances are her responsibility
agree totally
She has opinions for money, nothing has changed.
Really striking a chord for me Carol. I was born on the same day and brought up just down the road from you.

Oli is such a great interviewer, and Carol is an absolute inspiration. So glad we live in a world where we can watch this for free!
He's pandering. Not challenging her at all. A Puff Piece for CV. Not an interview.
@@kierandoran8196 Why do even watch this. You've left comments showing that you hate her and the presenter. Some of us have open minds.
I agree with the comments regarding the media bubble and having disgraced politicians on and treating them with deference. I have never understood how Nigel Farage obtained the huge amount of coverage over the last ten years when he was essentially a nobody. He was treated as a leader of a major political party although he wasn't even an MP and his party has been boosted as a result.
I’m seeing Vorders in a new, and much better, light!
This was better structured and more illuminating than the chat with Ava. As a (slightly) younger post menopausal woman, I think it’s great how she’s using her platform & look forward to seeing what Carol does next!
I'm premenopausal but Ava isn't my cup of tea personally.
Tells you all you need to know about the BBC.
I was always a fan of the BBC, but not any longer. When the news completely ignored the ICC hearings I was shocked and saddened.
Great interview!
You have an amazing character arc Carol.
Wish there was more like you.
I admire Carol hugely and enthusiastically look forward to seeing what she does next with style, panache, fervour and humour 😊
I actually remember Carol’s first instagram post. She admitted she had no clue how it worked. Now look at her influence. She has the Midas touch.
An excellent interview, all power to Carol in her quest to challenge the Westminster Bubble, they really don't care about the people that put them there and it's about time they were taught a lesson. Great channel :-)
Great interview, thanks. Very refreshing!
Thanks Joe! Just found your podcast. Subscribed.

I'm Swedish so that would've gone nowhere. Too long from Wales to Stockholm!
DARVO. Nailed it. Same here in Ireland. Being in an abusive relationship with your government, and there are no shelters.
O'Gorman and McAttee plus Varadkar traitors to our country
Thank you for bringing Carol on, amazing listen ❤
Carol ask Starmer about the pensioners winter fuel allowance and why MPs have retained tneir 2nd home fuel allowance?

Carol Vorderman is a political hero. An undeniable heavyweight when it comes to holding politicians to account.
She’s a woman scorned - get real
She is an Absolute Legend 💫.
Plain talking with the truth about what is wrong with the Establishment and the System....
Bravo 🎉
We love to hear you asking the questions that we would, give the chance....
Admirable.....
🥰😍😘
I'd like someone to ask her about the bogus life insurance she fronted which cost people who followed her advice thousands of pounds.
"First woman to speak on Channel Four news"?
He says it twice. I'll put it down to being star struck. 😂😂
Same age as me...I totally agree with Carol....This is brilliant....what a brilliant P M she would be xxx
Love You Carol !! Say what you see !!
You're a bloody legend Carol!!! Keep going 💪🏻
It's appalling that we are compelled to pay the BBC to be the voice of government.
There's 0 impartiality there now. That's what we started out paying for.
Now it is a propaganda channel.
I'm not. You don't have to have a TV licence if you don't have live TV or use iPlayer. Now that we have streaming services like Netflix, Prime and Channel 4 on demand you don't need a license to watch TV. I haven't had a TV licence in best part of a decade.
Top class lady.
Carol you are such a Beautiful Light in these Dark Day's, The Block Hole of Greed is pulling us all down and you Shine a Light on the Path they have Planed 4 us All....Thank You a Hero to all Humanity....❤
🤮
That Block Hole, is it like a Glory Hole? Asking for a friend.
On the subject of women, we really need to get men on board sharing their disgust for misogyny - ATM it's too tiny a percentage of men doing this. Bring both together we can't eradicate misogyny without them.
Nice to see Ollie get on with a Welsh person.
Carol is an absolute role model. We need women with Carol's value to go into schools and inspire all young people. ❤
For entitled Gold-diggers.
Except school pupils will say who the. F is she?😅
So is Carol going to apologise for campaigning for the labour party any time soon?
Carol is wonderful!!!
It starts with her intelligence and her emotional intelligence, then the fact that she has a profound understanding about reality and where so many people come from....derived from her own personal history.

I love that she won't shut up. Good for her. She is a woman's champion for sure. Love ya, Carol.
Great smart Lady 👏👏👏👏💐
I just bought her book.
I look forward to reading it!
Cheers Joe, another great interview/interviewee

What a self serving hypocrite, was a massive torie and through bitterness asked us to vote labour as the moral choice
Oh Carol to you im but a fool....love this lady
She is fabulous💜uk
Well done Carol, always right in her views.
I adore this woman. If I ever get the chance to meet her it will be a privilege.
Slightly younger than Carol but I was told I could only be a shop or factory worker, or office work. We were not told, or encouraged to look further because we were poor. This was in the south east, so I think we were even more discriminated against because we were poor in an affluent area.
Good for Carol! 👍
I hate when they show the bookcase and it is too far away to read the titles.
Does the ignorant ex politician who said Carol should act her age and claim her bus pass not realise that outside Scotland, Wales and
London you have to be of state pension age to get a bus pass? I believe she has about three years to wait.
When you are an imposter. Thankyou both👍
Carol Vorderman > Rachel Riley
"The daily mails business model has been to set one woman against another..."
Good see you've been listened to what she's saying you doughnut.
They’re both wonderful.
Riley is a vile zionist 🤢🤮🤮
I’d watch that.
There's only ONE mathematician Countdown Queen 👸 and that's......
'CAROL' ❤
It’s not apathy you’re right. The majority of people are educated not to take responsibility.
Carol, you are amazing, always be you!
I Wish Carole would stand as an independent MP.
I don't think the lady wants that on her C.V. ...( coat got; door closed).
Very inspiring ; bring on compulsory voting. Politicians have to work harder for the vote. Go Carol !
Thanks for posting
Go girl! . Great interview, thanks Carol.
Why isn't she Lady Vorderman, it goes against all my base principles ie abolish the Lord's, end the monarchy in government & public payouts BUT, she is an acceptance in my book.
As a pensioner, can you take on Labour instead.🤬
Exactly 💯
Great lady , says it how it is.
'Closed' her X account when she realised Labour are much worse than the tories, not surprised she's totally embarrassed.
More power to her elbow🎯
Witness the fitness!
One hope! One quest!🤩
Whatever happened to her plans for a solo flight across the world - never mentions it any more?
Absolutely love carol!! Xx
EXACTLY. exactly. Fair system.
it was an absolute pleasure too! what a woman!
Roots manuva....banger🌎💚🌍
Ollie chadmore delivering another belter of an interview. CV, what an amazing woman!
❤❤❤ love this interview
Think Carol is bang on it.may take me twentyi minutes to write this comment so wont be able to read her book all should be able to read and I am 59 keep going joe
I’ve found my voice, vote Reform it’s the only way out of dystopia
Love this xx
