Oh no. I really liked her. It wasn't unexpected but it's very, very sad.

RIP.

 

[moomoo]

Oh that is very sad. I followed her on Twitter and she was really lovely

Just read this in the guardian.

Was a real heart sinking moment.

Very sad.

 

[Rebecca Riot]

Very sad. A brave and funny lady.

Used to see her about Glasgow with her wee dog. She used often to sit at one of the tables outside Eusebi’s at lunch time, not far from where I live.

 

[starfish]

Aw that is sad. RIP.

 

[pesh]

RIP

 

[Voley]

Ah. I liked her. RIP Janey.

Oh bugger
Yes, not unexpected but very very sad.
She was an incredible woman.
Poor Ashley and her husband

RIP

An astounding person, I wish we'd got to see more live stuff.

A real shame. Her nicola sturgeon bits were fab. I don't think I've seen any of her stand up but her interview with Richard herring (rhlstp 85 in 2015) was probably my favourite ever. I hadn't heard of her before. I'm going to listen to that again today. RIP Janey.

My brother was exec producer in that fillum. I should watch it. In fact, I will tonight.

She'll be missed. She was very funny and wonderful during the lock down. I loved her Nicola Sturgeon voice overs. I remember Nicola saying that Janey often said things she couldn't, nor would be allowed to.

RIP Janey, and thanks for all the laughs.

 

[stethoscope]

Although not unexpected, still sad

And was still steadfastly sticking to her guns, even when she was getting some dreadful shit especially from some of the 'GCers'.

RIP Janey.

A very old friend of mine takes his prosthetic leg off in it.

As many have said, not unexpected and yet a very sad loss nonetheless. I suspect that she would have very much appreciated this tribute:

 

[Cloo]

She was always funny and candid on social media, we should all make #trumpisacunt trend in her memory. It's what she would have wanted.

Just watched it. Stumpy Joe!
