    Jacinta? Oh please.

    A racist grandad, uncle and father who don't really know who their father is and a couple of "noncey" relatives.

    Sounds like a "Jacinta" would fit in well.

    What a cute little thing, I'd love if Will named her after his mum.

    Stick it to the Buckingham crowd.

    They have a limited number of names already chosen that they can pick from I think,all regal and dignified sounding presumably.

    I see the sky news readership have infiltrated the thread...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    One of her gaffes was on 9/11, when she said that the entire east coast of America was attacked, when it was actually New York City and Washington DC

    Kay sez:
    I’m not famous. I’m a journalist on the telly.
    I’ve been approached by other channels [CNN], but why would I want to move anywhere else when I work for the best news channel in the world? That might sound corny but it’s true.

    The comments under the article are gas:
    Likeable? About as likeable as a spitting cobra. Hard faced, boring voice aggresive woman.
    More like a frothy airhead who smiled and clapped to a camera for kindergarten audiences.
    Announcing live on air to April Jones volunteers that it was a murder investigation.
    All the natural charisma of a cup of cold sick, allied to an entirely misplaced sense of her own authority.

    In an attempt to lay the blame somewhere, I googled ' where did Kay Burley go to university?'

    As it turns out...

    Don't believe in God either, so no need to thank him.

    This is the 2nd one in a couple of years so your 30 year comment is pointless.

    Sky now falling over themselves with the shoocking breaking news that the baby now has a few names and interviewing people with their reactions.

    It's pathetic subservient stuff that I am glad that Ireland does not have.

    We do have it actually. Look at all the nonsense surrounding celebrities when they have kids. It's this bull**** celebrity gossip "industry" that responsible for all this crap.

    What nonsense?

    Never seen live breaking news of stopping people on the street to ask people what they think of a celebrity baby's name been done on Irish TV?

    This is literally one of the worst interviews I've heard. Arrogant, ignorant and constantly interrupting the man with bull**** statements.Shes a disgrace to her profession.

    This is that eejit reporter that broke the news that April Jones' disappearance was being treated as murder live on air to two volunteers and then asked them did they have anything to say about it while one of them was desperately trying to stave off tears, isn't it.

    Dignified reporting of the news in action, that was. *eyeroll*

    Anybody who is in trouble in the UK should actively seek an interview with Burley. She would have made Jimmy Savile look good.

    Apparently a petition to get her sacked has gotten over 30000 online signatures following the interview.
    I was watching it live at the time and to say I was horrified is an understatement.

    Kay burley just said in a short report about the shooting dead of Garda Golden "a woman believed to be the partner of the officer was also shot".

    Easy mistake (if the print/prompter wasn't already incorrect).

    Few words wrong and it comes off badly

    "a woman believed to be the partner of the officer offender was also shot"

    This Ash Wednesday one with Joe Biden (who also attended the winter Olympics) is my favourite by far!



    From 32 seconds on and @ 1.04 mins "it's quite a bump, he must have went down on those tea tray's down the luge or something" :D :eek:

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Yeah I think I happened to see that live too. I wondered was I imagining it!
    Her co-commentator was just as clueless as her in fairness.
