Grace Campbell - Alastair Campbell

[BlueLegume]

If I have missed any threads already started about this then apologies.

I am literally lost for words on the post she added to her podcast along with Charlie Craggs.

My own daughter has been lost to this cause. I am hoping I get her back. How utterly vile can a young woman be - Grace Campbell - towards women who have worked so hard to give her such privilege. I might be ugly and a freak Grace with awful hair. But I am not a mean girl.

She's the freak, the tedious, vacuous, talentless, chronically unfunny, attention seeking, nepotistic and frankly rather plain little gobshite. I could not bear her even before I saw this.

Unfortunately, Grace won’t change her mind, because people don’t, or only very rarely,change their mind when they’re criticised. It will simply confirm her view that she’s right and her critics are blind, ignorant and all the rest of it.

Alistair Campbell is immensely proud of his daughter and, although I have very mixed views about him, I feel great empathy towards a parent who loves their child so much and is so proud of her. No doubt, in part, because I never had this, myself.

The result, though, is that he suspends his critical faculties. I suspect that Grace has been indulged throughout her childhood and has the idea that whatever ever comes into her head is correct, noble right and to be admired.

There was a period when Rory Stewart started to counter and challenge Alistair Campbell’s ideas, but he doesn’t seem to do that so much anymore. They don’t have genuine discussions. I’m a subscriber to the podcast but will not renew and I haven’t listened for a very long time now.

Charlie spent £40k on transplants to counter male pattern baldness.

Good job money can solve everything, then!

Don't hold back. 😂

I dont know anything about her other than this video and the one with her mum. Perhaps she has rewarding work outwith what she shares publically.

She does seem a bit lost, tbh. What is the point of these inteminable interviews with her own mum and dad? Attention?

Indeed. Surprising to see her displaying such juvenile levels of thinking and open hostility to other women, especially older women . Maybe growing up with a man in the grip of the Victorian attitude of policing women's thoughts, political views and speech doesn't allow for the development of social skills like insight and empathy?
Who knows.

Here's a clip

Well I find them both smug, insufferable twats so it's a mystery to me why the podcast is such a success in the first place.

I enjoyed it when it started. It had a new approach and there were some interesting insights. Overtime, I have become less enamoured of Rory Stewart, who has become something of a pin up of an ex-politician for some people. Perhaps that’s because I don’t like his politics and I don’t like some of the comments that he has made about people.

I did find it interesting to hear some of the observations of Alistair Campbell because he had experienced things that I have not done. It’s been going quite a time now and it’s well past itself by date.

The comments below are awesome! All pointing out his lack of critical thinking and the impact those with trans identified children have had on him and his peers. Self interest all the way..

As a side note, there was a time when he made regular appearances on breakfast TV but seems to have disappeared. Hearing his voice again reminds me what a pleasure it is now to start the morning and not have to listen to his bluster and bullying tone.

I haven't, but I probably should. McBride, through his closeness to the Biden family, has been one of the most influential TRAs, but seems to fly under the radar quite a bit.

I usually avoid TRIP, but I'm intrigued by the idea of Rory Stewart in conversation with Sarah McBride. It would probably sound like Pinky interviewing The Brain.

Yes, and one of her "comedy" skits is about her arguing so loudly against private schools with her boyfriends mates in the pub that he thought she must be deaf.

I can just imagine.

I don't know whether to be more surprised that she's a stand up comedian, or that she's 32.

I think the comments they both make about the physical appearance of women, indicates deep insecurities they have about their own looks.

It’s quite sad.

I avoid everything from Goalhanger except TRIH, I'd love it if Dom n Tom found a way to extricate themselves from the wingnut empire.
Grace Campbell behaves exactly as I expect a child of AC to carry on. And I doubt that she received any negativity during her childhood due to her dad's involvement in starting the Iraq war. She will have been surrounded by the children of other Important London People who agree to disagree amongst themselves (but despise the plebs outside of their bubble, even when sending them off to die in the desert).
As you can see I have nothing but contempt for these hypocritical frauds 😀

Just gonna say it…
alastair Campbell is many things but stupid is not one of them. Being influenced by his young woke daughter is image management, not reality. It gives a redemption cover story to a man who started a war and got called out for calling women ‘birds’ by her. That man is a spin doctor. Assuming Grace has the power and is manipulating him is ridiculous.

I remember listening to the Private Eye podcast one time, and hearing one of the journalists talk with massive confidence and get the subject matter totally wrong. I think it was a point of employment law.

It was a shock, it shows how much we trust authorative voices.

Blimey.
My cat has more of a career that Charlie.

I'll just say it again - Fiona Millar is virulently against private education (and also selective education, I think). The idea that she and Alistair Campbell would have paid for private education is ridiculous. There's plenty to criticise her (and her parents) for without making that assumption. She's grown up in a North London Labour luvvie bubble and hasn't a clue about the realities of life, but has the unbounded confidence and arrogance plus the media and political connections to sound off about absolutely anything that will get her attention. Her generation's equivalent of Poly Filla, perhaps.

Indeed. It's remarkable how some powerful left-leaning/liberal women who've made good careers and seem to have no problem asserting themselves in public have long marriages to men who pay lip service at best to the issue of women's rights. I'm thinking of the Clintons, but I expect there are others.

I'm guessing my post has been hidden because it contains a link to a Casino dot org article about the collapse of the Campbell père et fils betting syndicate, which seems to have be memory-holed

I originally watched this without sound and previous poster's comments caused me to Google. I had originally thought Grace to be the one on the left. I will just leave that there.

I can’t bring myself to, I’ll find it too enraging.

I agree on the comments about appearance but it’s actually not even true about style. Susan Smith wore a green suit - one of the Suffragette colours - and it really makes their picture outside the SC stand out and is great for photos above headlines etc. Maya and Helen often wear the blue of the Sex Matters branding.

It always makes me laugh when TERFs are accused of being middle-aged women with nothing better to do. It’s BECAUSE they are middle-aged women with many things to do that they’re so efficient and effective.

It sounds like if you are less than a supermodel or have ordinary hair and ordinary clothes, you aren’t allowed to say anything, and no one should listen to you. On any subject.
Such an extremely shallow and self limiting view of the life people live. Only people with well tended hair and fabulous outfits can be valuable or interesting. What a ridiculous metric. Where would Einstein be on this scale of value? Or Emily Brontë?
