She made some music that wasn't my cup of tea but thats ok, but in the last 12 months i guess, the only times i have heard from here is when she is spouting shite or shouting spite.
Lily apologises on behalf of England whilst visiting Calais (Even though France it appears are not doing enough for unfortunate individuals that are in their country and clearly need help)
Lily accuses Government and media of down playing the figure, she was hearing of 150 people killed and it was a conspiracy in the horrendous Grenfell fire (The death toll possibly less than 80 due to some possible fraudulent claims of missing individuals and revisions of who was in the flats at the time).
Lily declines to accept a "Hero of the year" Diversity in Media award a couple of days ago, and says amongst other things in her speech referring to comments by the L'oreal model who was sacked "refusal to confront our white privilege and the guilt and shame that comes with that is a global cancer."
I do wish she would just get back to making music and give us all some peace
Mebbies she’s just got something to say, mebbies.
she smokes too much and thinks too much and thinks that she's got something worth hearing. She's wrong.
I can't recall a single occasion from the last 12 months where I've heard or read anything she has said.She made some music that wasn't my cup of tea but thats ok, but in the last 12 months i guess, the only times i have heard from here is when she is spouting shite or shouting spite.
Do you deliberately look up her views or something?
You doth protest too much. I've not heard about her in years.
I’ve absolutely no idea what she has supposedly said in the last few years.
Mebbies she’s just got something to say, mebbies.
She does and it is all shite.
This is the first I've heard about her since Calais, which was what? Two years ago?
Young, naive and trying to "change the world".
I can't see the harm to be honest. Commendable if honest.
I haven't found it at all difficult to avoid her views.
Plot twist, OP follows her on Twitter.
But in a seriously non-hipster way, I have no idea what she's been up to recently.
lol 😀
She is on the box in the corner that you sofa faces.
C4 news, BBC News, Digital Spy
Is she Spock?
I've not heard anything about her for a while but I do remember her getting some slagging off in the Sun and the Mail so I reckon her heart must be in the right place.
I haven't heard a peep from her in years. Is she still fit?
Actually. The more I think about it, I reckon the OP is a PR bod for Miss Allen. Using the ol' reverse psychology to raise his clients profile among her target demo of middle aged IT managers.
Cunning.
You doth protest too much. I've not heard about her in years.
While I have no reason to go looking for anything she has to say, there have been a number of occasions when there have been news items about her latest outburst.
Which has led me to think she really ought to indulge in some proper research before opening her gob.
She speaks from a position of some privilege, but that doesn’t gift her the right to just say anything off the top of her head with little regard to actual facts; her Grenfell Tower comments were truly misguided.
I'm telling her Dad you said that.
Hope you can run.
I'm telling her Dad you said that.
I've heard some disturbing things about his behaviour at parties. Just don't leave your drink unattended would be my advice.
She's like a slightly less irritating version of her dad. I remember watching something years ago where he was interviewing that BNP guy. His name escapes me, but he looked like a pillow with a face drawn on it that had somehow become (slightly) sentient. I actually began to feel sorry for pillow face as Lily Allen's dad was that much of a ****.
I would imagine that the offspring of a man who can make me feel sorry for a right wing bed accessory would be equally as annoying
Can't say that I care for her music, but I for one am grateful for her being outspoken about certain issues.
There are other outspoken celebrities across the political spectrum. I understand that Phil Collins was all over the news recently when he published his autobiography if that's your thing.
You're complaining that she's getting too much attention by creating a thread to give her some attention?
Who is she?
She's that pop singer who I always think is Kate Nash.
Who's Kate Nash?
Easy she sang withering heights - could be wrong though
Too many chemicals and a snowflake.

Good point, but Lots of things we could apologise about in the past or present, just not sure Lily Allen is the one to do it for me (as i am both from this island and happen to be white). The almost incitement to riot comments about Grenfell were in my view wrong as Countzero said, the rest were just bizarre.
"Oh deary me...."
I follow her on Twitter.
Ill post a link to this thread, itll be interesting to see what she says.
I like Kate Nash too 🙂
Is it too late for her to join the #27 club?
"Oh deary me...."
What does that mean?
I am 2nd generation immigrant from a northern European country if that helps, But the fact is someone is apologising for me for some reason again it seems.
@Kypton, Are you really going to run along and say "someone said something about you on a forum you have no interest in" can i have a thumbs up like,or is that facebook? 🙂
While she won't agree with my opinion of getting back to music she has in the recent past said those things...
You would? @ 3 people... I always thought her hair looked kinda greasey, maybe she works in a chip shop.
@Kypton, Are you really going to run along and say "someone said something about
No, I've got an intetnetz for that.
Lily Allen is the epitome of leftwing stupid.

This.
Having an opinion only makes her more attractive - even if she is wrong sometimes.
I can't or at least could never (as I am now married) bring myself to bang dumb birds who can only talk about The Only Way is Exxex or babies.
Banging birds?? what a geezer! You're a man's man and no mistaking...
Stick your knickers on luv and make me a cuppa...

I'm trying to be down with the OP so that I can change his opinion.
Do you not get a sense that the OP only dislikes Lilly Allen because she's a woman - with shock horror, an opinion?
Loads of ****s have opinions (me included)? Have you seen this place? Lilly is as entitled to anyone else, unlike the OP she was clever enough and has the connections to get to a place where she can make headlines with them.
Indeed and whilst I picked on you specifically, others on here are equally as guilty.
And let's not forget oldtalent's blatant trolling...
I don't mind Lily Allen, ironically I can't stand her dad.
You know everything I say is mostly tongue in cheek, or trolling. Right? 😛 My general modus operandi.... is to try and lower myself to the rest of everyone around me - and then take it a step further. I've heard every argument under the sun, the only thing that makes things entertaining for me around here is to take things to the absurd.
I like her as she's interesting, very funny and up for a laugh/shenanigans whilst she doesn't hold back with speaking her mind, compared to the vapid indentikit clones that appear to be feted as the "populist ideal" by the media i'd take Lily and her faults anyday.
Disclaimer : I met her out at a party in Deia a few years ago so my exact recollection is somewhat hazy
She is a celebrity with left wing views, therefore the Daily Mail et al see fit to run endless stories on her views. Same with Gary Lineker and numerous others.
Change what you read would be my suggestion.
Ironically, left wing papers like the Guardian rarely feature anything she says.

Lily Allen is the epitome of leftwing stupid.
What does that make the Alt Right of STW then?
I prefer that people perhaps research a little more but good on her for using her fame for something more than herself.
If this is a left/right bashing thread then perhaps it's because the left want to stand up for people where as the the right want to crush them.
Do you not get a sense that the OP only dislikes Lilly Allen because she's a woman - with shock horror, an opinion?
This is what is wrong with so many people these days.
Bloke expresses an opinion about someone elses opinion - oh, she's female, he must be a chauvinistic pig.
I agree with the OP, she needs to shut her rattle, but please don't encourage her to make more music - just shutting up will do. If she had a cock, my opinion would be the same - just for the record, likes!
Lily Allen and mikewsmith are the epitome of leftwing stupid. 😀

Yay, original and witty, Trump must be looking for his missing Tweet writer
I saw her in concert once (free tickets at a venue round the corner - so we thought we'd go)..... my low expectations were surpassed: she was actually pretty good live.
However, I am completely unaware of any of this political outspoken-ness. Why are we upset about it? Or is it just that people find her a bit annoying? Not sure if serious.
D'you think it may be possible that she's a bit of a Dadaist wind-up merchant?
I only mention it because it seems to work on a certain type of male snowflake. Especially around here...
I see she must be like some sort of left wing Katie Hopkins or Piers Morgan, shes like cat nip to the righties, sends em into a frenzy!
Must admit I can't think of a single time I've seen or read about her in the last year, until this thread.
Genuinely what has she been up to? Last I saw was her going to Calais and obviously shaming the aforementioned righties on here 😉
I genuinely didn’t realise I needed Lily Allen to leave me alone. There I’ve been getting all annoyed whenever Bojo or our Nige gets a load of coverage for saying something crass and divisive, when I should have been saving up my ire for....Lily Allen
Thanks for the heads up OP!

Great to see we've another thread on here today of men sneering at women.
A kind of companion piece, if you will...
Three nights ago - I come in, about half-past eleven at night, we'd been having a couple of drinks I remember - and I come in, I get into bed, you see, feeling quite sleepy, I could feel the lids of me eyes beginning to droop - a bit of the droop in the eyes - I was just about to drop off, when suddenly, 'tap, tap, tap' at the bloody window pane - I looked out - you know who it was?
Bloody Lily Allen! Bloody Lily Allen - stark naked save for a shortie nightie. She was hanging on to the window sill, and I could see her knuckles all white ... saying STW, STW ...' you know how these bloody lefties go on - I said 'Get out of it!' - bloody Lily Allen. She wouldn't go - she wouldn't go, I had to smash her down with a broomstick, poke her off the window sill, she fell down on the pavement with a great crash ...
She just had a nightie on, is that all?
That's all she had on, just a ...
See-through?
A see-through, shortie nightie. Nothing else - except for her dark glasses of course. Dreadful business. Why won't she give us some peace?
I see she must be like some sort of left wing Katie Hopkins or Piers Morgan, shes like cat nip to the righties, sends em into a frenzy!
Previously, I didn't have an opinion, but the more I read on this thread, the more I like her.
just get back to making music and give us all some peace
Is that an oxymoron or just a plain old self-contradiction?
Either way, the last thing she should do for the greater good is release any more songs, Trustafarian little madam that she is.
I'd rather she spouted leftie stupid stuff than made any more music. found her brand of pop particularly irritating. Although, like her political views, pretty easy to avoid.
You know, like, in the 70s, 80s an that, we had to watch TOTP and the BBC News (for examples) cos there was no other way to get entertainment or information about the world (I know, slight exaggeration, but comparatively speaking) .. but now, now there are so so many other screen we can stare at! So all those idiots, like Boney M, we had to watch, transfixed at their crapness, back then, we can avoid now! Without even trying really. Lily Allen's gobbing off on me tellybox, ah ok, *mute* I'll look at what singletrackworld has to say about the latest dropper stem from RaceRam.
I wonder if the OP also gets annoyed when journalists choose to ask Charlotte Church questions unrelated to key changes and harmonising…
I used to get quite annoyed by the ubiquity of football in our society but have since found that it's quite easy to avoid most of it.
She's great live! Very engaging. Really witty, funny and quite charming between tracks. We went to see her a few years back and all (including the laydeez) came back just a little bit in love with her.
Would it be fair to summarise a lot of this threads contributor's opinions thus.....
I find her fine. Good to have opinions and good to see she cares and is using her ability to get heard.
If she winds up the right wingers then all the better.
binners -She's great live!
This is something which I'll be eternally taking your word for.
Great to see we've another thread on here today of men sneering at women.A kind of companion piece, if you will...
Extra points for the dot dot dot. A good point, well made.
Hey guys, check your privilege!
Smash the Patriarchy!
After 5 minutes with Google (well Quant actually), I've gone from indifferent to fan. Thanks for the heads up.

yeah, down with self-contradictions! And Lily Allen should stop making her own money, the big trustafarian!!
She's got opinions, has the guts to express them, and means well.
What's wrong with that?
Sounds like a good character to me.
I didnt know she had said or done any of these things. One of the advantages of not being a ****ter / instagram user is that you are spared all this so called celebrity drivel
What if she's just controlled opposition?
Appears to stir up establishment and ask tricky questions, but really just provides distraction to divert attention from avenues that truly need exploring...
^^ I like that idea.
Lots of posts on me being right wing Mail reading chauvinist, but none of those are true, also not entirely sure what a snowflake is if im honest.
Male, female, left or right, have no time for celebs preaching after enlightenment or saying sorry on my behalf. Or spouting shite from the right like Katie Hopkins. Nothing more complicated than a rant about someone that got up my nose, but please carry on, didn't mean to interrupt. 😀

Just like your good self, then?

Attention junkie in attention seeking shocker
Oh the irony.
I struggle to see how she can be great live- unless she's doing someone else's songs?

Because a live show is not just about the music, it is the presence of the performers, rapport, how they get audience going etc,.
How have I missed her saying anything?
I'm going to read up on her and give one of her albums a spin, in the interest of giving her a fair chance. I think I dislike her purely because of her father and that doesn't seem justified. Maybe I can stop confusing her with Kate Nash too.
Just like your good self, then?
That'd be down to perspective no doubt... if distracting from the latest BB standard or celebrity haircut etc are the pressing issues of the day, then colour me guilty.
Be interested in Lily Allen's thoughts on Boost 148 mind; if you ask me, it's a travesty when the existing 150/157 standards provide a stronger wheel and are readily available.
Not to mention the whole business of paymaster general in the Al-Yamamah deal and secret courts.
Perhaps Jeremy Heywood could provide some answers.
Over to you Lily...
charlotte church and lily allen , both feminist , both annoy the establishment , both seem pretty caring humans with a consciousness that seems to irk right wing types , all good in my book , who would you rather have in a lifeboat

Ms Church, she’s a far, far better singer than Lily Allen can ever hope to be. I just wish she’d get round to recording an album in her current style, the EP’s she’s done are excellent.
