Elizabeth Glinka is a beautiful lady who prefers to be left alone. Stop making comments…She only likes good-looking men with plenty of money. Count me out!
You let yourself down tonight Elizabeth All my son asked of you was to sit down while the Warwickshire v Worcester game was going on.
But you wouldn’t let it go, coming up to us after the game when we had forgotten all about it. You came across as very arrogant!
For goodness sake, can a woman ever make a TV appearance without comments about her thighs or legs!!! Posts that do should not be allowed on social media…they are very much old school, derogatory, sexist and unnecessary.
Only watch the politics show on Sunday to see Liz Glinka and those lovely legs of hers. Hate it when she wears jeans, love to see her thighs.
Your portrait will be with you soon…An oil on canvas attempting to capture your wonderful personality
Derek,
I’m an avid listener/viewer of political programs but Lizzie with your personality and your (may I say) stunning looks, you top them all. With that in mind and to show my appreciation I am painting a portrait of you which will be sent by post to the Politics BBC Midlands address
in Birmingham. Hopefully, you will receive it at that address and like the oil painting. Please do let me know.
Always glued to the screen when she is on the TV stunning
