Aibu...Priti Patel [Posted edited by MNHQ at poster's request]

[notonmywatchyouwont]

...aibu that she's an AWFUL public speaker -
"My message is clear"
"As I said in my statement"
"As I said very clearly in my statement"
And the god awful every other line -
"The fact of the matter is"

Hmm she is well known for bullying

Has any of that actually been proven ?

Was not the last accuser a civil servant who sent an email that said the uk does not need farmers ?

Perhaps some of the old cronies don’t like ambitious women ?

It’s funny because I read a lot of comments that said she was concise and to the point .

Everyone has their own opinions I suppose but I would love to see a head to head discussion with Diane Abbot . About anything really .

She’s a proponent of capital punishment. Says it all as far I’m concerned.

.

I don’t care about her pronunciation, it’s the lack of content and attitude to being questioned that gets me. And that permanent Dolores Umbridge smirk.

God yes, @Alsohuman, I forgot about that. As you say, says it all.

Priti Patel is an airhead.

But I absolutely agree that the pronunciation is a long way down the lengthy list of things I judge Patel for. None of which are "being an ambitious woman".

I’m so glad people are finally seeing how awful she is

Dropped Gs...makes Thatchers’s RP & lowered register almost melodious.

@NaturalBornWoman Yes I see what you're saying, I'm going to watch her speaking again and see! I think her accent is probably a hybrid, influenced by where she few up plus education and workplace. Hence RP ish plus dropped gs. Aren't most people influenced that way? I think the way I speak is a mix of influences.

She is annoyin'.

I’m not mocking her accent or judging her on it. Her dropped gs grate on me, that’s entirely beyond my control. Unfortunately, it’s a long way from being the worst of her transgressions.

It's socialised classism. It's learned against one's control but retained by choice.

Bojo is scraping the barrel at this point, he’s just delegating to anyone who can be arsed doing it at this stage.

I have a rather upper crust friend who thinks I'm common because I DO pronounce the gs on the end of words. He's right, I am.

It's learned against one's control but retained by choice

Oh do piss off, it’s no more choice than fingernails on a blackboard setting your teeth on edge.

Yes, the g!

She was a co author of Brittannia Unchained

She is a right wing airhead who will say anything Boris wants her to and do anything it takes to stay in her position. Vile specimen.

Has she brought forward this 'counter-terrorism' legislation yet? Her 100 days are just about up.

Can’t imagine having to work for her

I was just about to post i bet she's got through a fair few PAs.

It's socialised classism. It's learned against one's control but retained by choice.

Oh give over, it grates on people because the g dropping is totally at odds with the accent. It’s dissonant, it jars.

Boris ought to be doing these briefings every day. What can he possibly be doing that is more important than talking to the Britis public when we are in the biggest crisis most of us will ever experience?

Dont know why people are continuing to compare her with Diane Abbot. She isnt the shadow home secretary anymore (Thank God).
Her replacement, Nick Thomas-Symonds seems a lot more switched on.
