@borntobequiet

Glenda Slagg is the Private Eye composite of every overwrought bitchy female newspaper columnist since the 1960s.

Hats off to Mr and Mrs Gove!!!! The Great British couple showing us how to handle the Great British divorce with a stiff (geddit???) gin and a stiff upper lip!!!! Doncha love ‘em!!!!

Arentcha sick of the slithy Goves!!! The bitchy journo from hell and him tripping over his honourable member and a couple of SpAds every time he walks downstairs!!!! Geddit???? Good riddance to both of them!!!!

Byeee!!!!

That's it. Glenda Slagg was Polly Filla's precursor. And she was the one of whom Jean Rook said, 'It's me, of course.'

I’d be addicted to anti depressants if I was married to Gove.

[quote OverTheRubicon]**@Congressdingo* I bet half or more women on here have more and better academic achievements, I certainly do*

Boasting much? I don't like Diane Abbot very much, but getting into a grammar school and then to Cambridge puts you in a tiny minority of the population, academically - especially if (unlike our Prime Minister and others) you didn't come from a background where a large percentage of your family and your teachers did the same and set you up to succeed. A 2:2 at Cambridge is still going to be the equivalent of a 1st at many other unis around.[/quote]
How can it be boasting if I dont say what quals I have?

I have no opinion on DA but the post I was replying to was condescending as shit. How can anyone say dont talk crap about a BAME female politician, then talk crap about everyone on this site?

IsThePopeCatholic · 02/07/2021 21:43

@sadperson16

It might be fun to poke fun at this imbecile but that creature has damaged so many children and teachers with his hideous pseudo public school shite.Poor poor little kids.
Very true. Gove knows best. He hasn’t got a sodding clue.

The thread is about a white man getting divorced under rumours of infidelity, and somehow it's turned to a critique of an unrelated black woman.

It's pretty well documented that Abbott receives the largest amount of hate and abuse even though she hasn't done anything to warrant it. What do you think people are angry about?

Stealhsquirrelnutkin · 02/07/2021 21:44

Are they really all shagging like this?!

I don't want to think about it. Surely it must be some kind of nightmarish horror slash fanfiction? Someone suggested a Gove/Cummings paring upthread, but my mind keeps cringing away from it, like a slug encountering a line of salt.

Zotter · 02/07/2021 21:46

I read the other day how Diane Abbott warned In HoC Blair’s funding for hospitals would be ruinously expensive in the long run. How right she was.

cariadlet · 02/07/2021 21:47

@GettingUntrapped

Gavin Williamson said that Micheal Give was having an affair with Dominic Cummings a few years ago. Dom's wife, Mary Harrington wrote about it in the Spectator. Can't link as on mobile.

In the Spectator article, she said that there was no truth in the rumour and that stories about other people in the public eye being "known to be gay" are probably equally unfounded.

Zotter · 02/07/2021 21:47

Typo, should have written ‘PFI funding’ above.

thecatfromjapan · 02/07/2021 21:48

The Cummings/Gove thing was deflection away from other rumours.

The article's a bit daft. The author claims that no-one is in the closet these days because there's no need.

Which is not, unfortunately, true.

We're getting to that place - but we're not there yet.

Tophatorangebear · 02/07/2021 21:50

What happened to #be kind?

Ask Vine - she's made a career out of being vile to people
#Bekind is just another way of saying - please don't cause a fuss or upset the status quo - am sick of being told to #bekind when thousands of people are being thrown under the bus by Gove, Cummings, Johnson et al

borntobequiet · 02/07/2021 21:55

Happy to report that Glenda is still around, as vitriolic and inconsistent as ever…

That Sarah Vine column
Skiptheheartsandflowers · 02/07/2021 21:57

Private Eye still does Glenda Slagg

Can't wait to see what they have to say about this

Blinky21 · 02/07/2021 21:57

Vine cleaning house before his leadership bid, he's learned from the Hancock scandal

sadperson16 · 02/07/2021 21:57

Vine has a huge following amongst the dim wit Tory ladies.

Sarah wears shirt, £655, Victoria Beckham

Sarah wears shirt that would pay for a family to survive for a month.

Blinky21 · 02/07/2021 21:58

Sorry Gove clearly!

nicecheesegromit · 02/07/2021 21:59

Poised for a follow up news story tomorrow on Gove ... it's going to come out (already hasConfused)

nancy75 · 02/07/2021 22:00

Ha ha ha #bekind to Michael Gove? I think not

CovidCorvid · 02/07/2021 22:01

I can’t believe Sarah Vine wears Victoria Beckham clothes…..the sizes are tiny!

Yeah, I think it was Amnesty International who conducted a poll a couple of years ago on how much Twitter abuse female MPs received in a set 6 month period. Diane Abbott received 45% of all abusive tweets.

People are obsessed with her. Can't think why...

HmmmmmmInteresting · 02/07/2021 22:08

Diane Abbott is trending on twitter. Not Gove or Vile. Qwhite interesting.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 02/07/2021 22:08

what happened to #bekind?

First off, #bekind is a bullshit trope designed mainly to get women to stfu

Secondly, neither Gove nor Vine would piss on you or me if we were on fire so, no, I don't feel the need to be 'kind' to either of them tbh.

beigebrownblue · 02/07/2021 22:10

No one takes Gove seriously.
At least I hope not.
Previous poster and the shite that he has directed at schools.

Yuck.

beigebrownblue · 02/07/2021 22:10

Not the poster obviously but Gove.
