...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"

I dont think you really get to accuse others of classism or sexism if you support the fucking tory party.

Hows Christopher Chope doing?

She can't be doing too badly given that the majority of the criticisms in this thread are classist remarks about her accent

You missed the fact that she’s a proponent of capital punishment then?

EvilPea · 23/05/2020 14:37

She’s so angry at the world. She’s like a stroppy teenager.

Shit morals, shit values, shit behaviour, shit politician, shit party.

I honestly think the Tories just use her to deflect from their nonsense - they know she's disliked, they know the public will post about her and they know she's a great human shield from the real issues that we should be looking at.

Her determination to abolish the foreign aid budget reflects as much about her as a person as it does her wider understanding on many issues sadly.

History will not be kind to her, and rightly so, nor those who are complicit with her being anywhere near a position of great importance and responsibility - shame on her and shame on anyone who accepts this from our elected representatives

And I don't think expressing classist, sexist (and in one egregious comment on this thread, racist) views is acceptable purely by virtue of voting Labour.

Is = does. On both sides of the political spectrum.

I do not care what Priti Patel looks like or how she speaks

I care about her actions and policies and what she has published.
Thus I despise her.

user1471565182 · 23/05/2020 17:05

'BUT LABOUR!!!!!!!!!!'

And that is fair enough.

How very generous.
