OMG Miriam Margolyes Andi Peters

He's a complete professional, he's not going to get angry or upset on live telly.

Still don't think there's been enough media attention about this since Thursday.
It's very disappointing.

Absolutely, her late Majesty was something else. Don't suffer fools gladly is the expression.

Reading some of your remarks throughout this thread, I am beginning to wonder what you are tbh.

Listened to a recent interview. She's from Oxford, not Glasgow, and her parents sent her to elocution.

She doesn't have a posh accent, that's quite different and often sounds slurred, she has slightly exaggerated but clear annunciation.

She does a good impression of posh amongst her wide repertoire of accents.

Her father was from Glasgow, and she said her father’s experience of poverty is what drove him to train as a GP. They moved to Oxford at some point.

No you cant, so why not, in certain conversations talk about it?
It's not the bloody elephant in the room, it's a part of who a person is, and if their hair colour, skin colour, heritage comes into it...why shy away from it.

You do understand the phrase 'CONTEXT IS ALL...' don't you?

Yes I found this confusing actually. You're right, she did say at the end "I haven't said anything wrong have I?" in a rather dramatic faux innocent voice/facial expression, and the bit that confused me was that Andi himself replied "No you haven't". And Christine said "You've been lovely".
She'd said multiple 'wrong' things in 7 minutes. The abject racism towards Andi. The mocking of Christine's accent. The shaming of this unknown daughter with her mother in a care home (she even used the word "shoved" in to a care home in relation to the elderly woman she is apparently visiting this afternoon).
IDK maybe they just wanted to hurry up and get her off their couch. But I really hope they were both thinking something totally different in their minds.
How can we get this mumsnet thread to Andi & Christine? I want them both to read it!

I guarantee HE wasn't.
Skin colour is not a taboo subject, something to be hidden away.
Like I said, context is all.

Because there's a time and place. Yes you can discuss skin colour i have with the parents of mixed race kids. But out of the blue on national TV?

And why hasn't there been the outcry like there was when the late queens lady in waiting asked someone in African dress where they were from?

They have both been in the news. What more / additional were you wanting to see?

I do wonder if Peters will receive the same level of backlash and hatred that Ngozi Fulani received after that interaction….

The reason Ngozi Fulani got a huge backlash is that she was particularly vile and wasn't willing to accept that the upper classes of the lady's generation use the word people to indicate family. So when she asked "where are your people from " she used it in the same way that Sebastian Flytes did in Brideshead revisited "come and stay with my people in the summer half"

The reporting vile and out of context abuse of Peters has vanished within a couple of days with no come back or cancelling of Margolyes...strangely the left don't cancel their own

Seems unlikely, given that Peters tried to downplay it whereas Fulani tried to milk it.

The other difference is that Hussey was forced out by pressure from the Left whereas no such pressure has been brought to bear by the Left on Margoyles.

Are you? Would you like to ask me what colour my parents are?

Sounds like you and MM are peas in a pod.

Where do you want MM forced out from and what evidence do you have that Hussey was “forced out by the left”?

She is a horrible old woman.
I genuinely dont understand all this 'national treasure' shite which some saddos suggest.
The sooner she is binned the better.

How did she milk it?

She did not even originally name her:

https://abc7ny.com/amp/post/lady-susan-hussey-resigns-news-comments/12512260/

Buckingham Palace, which has not named the household member involved in the incident, said earlier today that the individual concerned had apologized and "stepped aside from her honorary role with immediate effect."

Sistah Space said that it "serves no purpose to name & shame" the person in question on its Twitter account on Wednesday, adding "it is the system that needs to be revised."

"Yes the person was offensive, but it serves no purpose to name & shame her, it would make us just as bad. We prefer that this be handled kindly," Sistah Space said.

British media have identified the Buckingham Palace official as Lady Susan Hussey, who served as the late Queen Elizabeth II's lady in waiting for more than 60 years and is a godmother to the Prince of Wales.

The British media identified her and Fulani simply said it felt like an interrogation. How is that vile and “milking it”.

I suggest you look into how the story was broken.

🤣🤣🤣

Sure.

If you say so.

The link says it there. Sistah Space shared the interaction but did not identify the individual.

So I don’t see how discussing an unpleasant experience makes and individual “vile and milking it”.

If the recent exchange with MM was not televised would you call Andi Peters “vile and milking it” for discussing it?
