Radio 4 and Theresa May's dress???FFS!!!

[elizadolittlechoc]

To think Radio 4 at 6.40 am today lost the plot with their stand alone piece on THERESA MAY's dress? FFS thought they were above that shite (please note I am not a fan of TM but...).

Aw missed that! Are they talking about the navy number she was wearing yesterday?

Presumably followed by an in depth analysis of Gideon's trouser choice? FFS indeed.

Yanbu. Unless it had owls on it...

It was a very odd dress to wear.

Don't call thingy Gideon. It's recognised anti Semitic

Well, yes, there's a time and a place. And Today on R4 isn't that place.

Who's Gideon?

Gideon is George Osborne's true first name apparently.

Why is this anti semetic Brenda?

George Osborne was born Gideon Oliver Osborne and is an Anglican.

Link?

I utterly despair of the British news media. The standard of journalism seems to have hit new lows this year.

It's not that fucking hard to provide intelligent news radio, but you need to respect your viewers' ability to distinguish substance from hot air, and you need to employ journalists who are actually journalists and not wannabee celebrities.

Makes a change from everyone banging on about her shoes...

Yeah, I wondered about that Seemed to have missed the bit where they told you what Boris was sporting.

I didn't like the dress but maybe it was a deliberate act to get herself noticed. They're all supposed to be jockeying for position for DC's job.

Why is the name Gideon anti-Semitic? I have a cousin called Gideon.

Well to be fair, there has been a huge amount of media discussion/comment on Jeremy Corbyn's attire recently.

They need to stop commenting on ALL politians clothes.

I do think that dress was totally innapropriate for a major speech. Mind you maybe she wore it deliberately so the media would be talking about that rather than the nasty content of the speech.

'I utterly despair of the British news media. The standard of journalism seems to have hit new lows this year.'

Mistigri - yes exactly, and this year in particular - they're just a shambles.

I don't think people are saying the name Gideon is anti-Semitic. It's a Hebrew name from the Old Testament for a judge who led the Jews into battle. The Chancellor has met criticism that his decision to change his name to George stemmed from this Jewish association therefore rendering him anti-Semitic. He claims he just didn't like the name, which is a possibility. He's still a nob though, if not an anti-Semitic one.

I'm confused as to why Gideon is anti-Semitic too....

What's wrong with the dress. It's black decent length. Not too low a neckline

Surely only turning up in an Anne Summer corset should be enough to distract from the politics?

It was exactly the same dress as Ruth was wearing on Loose Women yesterday

Acc to the Telegraph she wore a figure stroking dress that revealed rather beautiful bare shoulders

I mean, wtf.

I thought people used it to indicate his poshness? Maybe I'm wrong.

A few years ago it was all about her CFMH's she happened to wear kitten heels and some of the press became a little obsessive in a very creepy way
