Claire Balding
Is she a product of BBC becoming politically correct?
She is a fat, ugly, dykey, pseudo-plumby annoying presenter with no knowledge of anything sportsworthy.
Am I alone in this character assassination, or does anybody actually like her?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.To the best of my knowledge, Miss Balding's riding career includes winning at Royal Ascot, so clearly she lacks authority in her own field.
Obviously we are better served by the incredibly fit and slimline John Motson and Ray Stubbs (don't you just love watching those two waddle round the Great North Run each year?), the magnificently shrill Jonathon Pearce and 'Mr Happy' himself Alan 'Chubby Chops' Green.
Possibly the only answer is to bring back the badger, Dickie Davies...
royalty and nobility are very different FINA, very different. As if i will ever say i have Royal blood. Treason may be acceptable in the valleys where you are boyo, but I believe under common law it is an offence to claim regal nomenclature.
Dannydingbat good memory. Slightly creepy, but impressive. Where have I lied? but hey ho. All because I shame you in every thread where you pretend to be a lawyer and give outdated and at times dangerous advice, there is no need to get personal is there? Infact there was one this week wasn't there? And yes there is a lot missing "somewhere".
It is amazing that the aesthetics of Ms Baldwin gets more responses than items of current affairs.
Bless you all. X (even the Welsh)
Maybe she does have gland or genetic problems?
You are just assuming she is just an over-eater. I myself have pcos which causes obesity and general weight gain. I am 5'2" and 10 stone so I have been lucky, but others aren't so lucky.
Regarding your statement that you don't want to see fat people presenting sports - feel free not to watch anytime you please. I guarantee no-one will mind at all whether or not you are watching the show.
But if you do watch, just close your eyes every time she comes on. Or wear dark glasses. Or watch through your fingers obscuring everything except her eyes. Or place a cut-out of a skinny presenter over the tv in her place. Or set your screen to widescreen format so everyone looks the same. Or poke yourself in the eyes so they water throughout the show and thereby putting her into 'soft focus'. Or put vicks in them. Or wear someone elses much stronger glasses. (or take yours off if you are blind as a bat without them) And don't forget the pepto bismol to control the wretching.
FINA I thought an apology would be more suited. Perhaps your ignorance is down to age, what with you being a grandmother. However, being you are welsh, you may have been a nan at 24 years old.
I don't know what you tirade of abuse has to do with me having a opinion on Clair Balding but unlike others who hit the report button all the time I quite like a good tete a tete.
Even you have to admit it was a bit foolish sitting on your high horse with all that "lawyer" stuff. trying to be clever. Well here's a little secret FINA my lovely, I was embarrassed for your darling!
Claire Balding in one of the most knowledgeable presenters on any sport on TV. Not only that she also managed to do an excellent job presenting Crufts, when she had little or no prior knowledge of dog showing. This came as a refreshing change to the giggly, girly 'look at me I'm on TV' presenters that they had in the past.
And anyone who can put down giggling Willie Carson on a regular basis definitely gets my vote.
As for fat presenters on darts, you obviously have not watched it lately. Also the latest champion is a young, slim, athletic Dutch fella, with whom I wouldn't mind having two in a bed (thats a darts term by the way).
