Anybody watching Peston?

It is painful. Mharie Black. Rebecca Long-Baily. Why can't he get somebody sensible on?

I just can't listen to Mhairi Black.

I absolutely hate her 'accent'. It's so overdone and I think she tries to sound neddy and hard.

I'm proud of my accent normally but just think she is awful.

She's from Paisley, that is a Paisley accent.

The Paisley accent doesn't bother me.

I think her accent is deliberately over exaggerated.

I used to do it a bit myself when I was at school.

I'm OK with her accent. Could understand it, couldn't hear anything wrong with it.

She reminded me of Spud from Trainspotting.

I'm also from that part of the world and dislike the way she neds up her accent. It is part of a wider pattern of how she presents herself and I've always thought it seems very fake.

Sorry OP i kind of derailed it.

I think you can tell I am not a fan of Mhairi. That has been the case before all the gender crap started. I would be surprised if the woman constituents she represented would happily agree with her on this subject.

RLB - there was a lot of passion in her speech. I think she is one who genuinely believes trans woman are woman so can't contemplate why there are concerns. I would call her a dangerous idiot. MB I think is just dangerous.

For me the key thing is, who are Labour selecting as candidates. I wasn't upset by YC not answering the question. I do think they are holding their cards close to their chest but the fact that they are raising doubts means that the sensible sections of the Labour Party are being won over.

But if they have selected candidates that are fans of Corbyn (they need a lot of new MPs) then I think its a lost cause.

No worries.
I agree with your recent post.
It was a frustrating day listening to so much misinformation on various news programmes and radio shows.
I am ill atm and have been passing the time listening to various things.
