Joanna Lumley Discusses Brexit, Trump and Absolutely Fabulous

[@michaelcarnelian]

Joanna Lumley is so well spoken and thoughtful. I really admire her as a person as well an absolutely fabulous actress.

[@learningpianoat61]

I see what you did there! :)

[@toffeecafe4]

She's right about having manners and being polite. A lost art in todays world.

[@julianwaugh968]

Well I am old now but it was common to stand up when a teacher or for that matter when anyone entered the room .It is a sign of respect for the other person and one must say "won't you sit down? and when they are seated and comfortable, proffer them a glass of sherry no matter what time of day it is .Also hand write thankyou notes. Consider others before your self . A good officer will water the horses, feed the men and only when that is satisfactory should he attend to his own needs

[@unhooked25]

marlene assennato: Many aspects of what was considered having and being polite is now considered to be racism.

[@wendyhannan2454]

Manners are sadly missing in today’s society I believe it comes from the home. We were taught to stand up in a tram or train for the elderly and pregnant women. Maybe teaching manners in schools, would be a good thing ✅

[@dialwright]

How gracious she is; she didn't bat an eyelash when the interviewer said 'epitoam'.

[@margaretpokorny103]

Absolutely. I'm completely fed up with it. As a Brit we are taught manners right from babyhood. Over here children are allowed to scream and demand, but it's NOTHING compared to some adults😒

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

[@judithcressey1682]

​@@paulus121212 Gosh, I'm so grateful to Joanna for being so normal, so like us plebs, she even does her own washing and goes on the tube. It's so reassuring, so good of her to let us know. Even those silly people who didn't know or understand what they were doing voting Brexit - if only they had known Joanna cleans her own toilets and knew all about Europe and how she went there in the 60's and it had all moved on. So thrilling she goes to Waitrose - so do I! So thrilling, thrilling.

Speaking as a Canadian; this is an utterly, amazing, charming, witty, intelligent, woman. A true, wonderful, role model for young women today. The person now, not the character she plays on AbFab. Which is awesome in it's own, odd and quirky way. Much Love. My Best. Best of 2019. Out.

I've been a fan of Joanna's since I was a child in the 90s, and I know that some of her real life has been written into Patsy's character, but I've never heard that she did actual porn or escorted. Do you know anything else about those rumours?

[@liziramsden4091]

Thank you Joanna Lumley. Your wise comment about looking after this beautiful world we live in NOW instead of racing off in search of other planets (to pollute and destroy.........) certainly hit a nerve. For the future generations let us please look after this amazing planet, for their sake.

[@Chris-tj8kz]

Joanna is so beautifully accepting and free with what she says... if only we could have one such as her in power! She's fabulous!

Ms. Lumley is a delight and her comments are insightful. We need to hold onto these values because I don't know where this new generation is going. Or maybe it's just my age talking (50's). I don't know what society will value in 100 years. But, I really see that this mode of politeness and respect is dwindling.

[@zafjas]

She is so eloquent and courteous. I am Dutch but I happened to live among British for about 5 years. They came from Cambridge and Oxford and spoke like Mrs. Lumley. Being exposed for 5 years to high class English speaking makes it impossible to speak with an American accent. I reeally like to listen to Mrs. Lumley no matter what she says, her voice is hypnotizing.

Anyone who uses the word Oleaginous is someone you want to have a conversation with. I agree with her about Japan. When you visit the country you are immediately struck by how well mannered and polite Japanese people are. It is really another level which we do not have anywhere else on the planet. But i lived in Japan 32 years so after a while it did get a tad oleaginous. But when i moved back to the UK, it took me 5 years to reacclimate myself to the rudeness of people and it was utter agony. In my years in Japan i never locked my door, left my wallet on the table next to my computer and my iphone when i went to use the restroom anywhere public. I walked alone at night in any area in japan and was never worried one second for my life or my safety. Having to fear people again, was the hardest thing to do for me and i became absolutely paranoid and locked myself in my house for weeks sometimes because i couldn't face the outside world in the UK which i found, dirty and unsafe, and unruly, and couldn't fathom why people were so angry and violent. Even today, i still hate when people act without civility. Japan was too polite but the UK is a disaster of incivility and i would choose Japan over the UK any day if i could, because there is no greater luxury than safet and being surrounded with polite people in a highly sophisticated country.
