First of all Angela Rayner, like all other Members of Parliament will be able to read and write. Her dialect is nothing to do with her abilities or skills of the role. That you find it excruciating says nothing about her, but a great deal about you. Given that Johnson has had all the advantages that an Eton and Oxbridge, yet still chooses to describe gay and ethnic minorities in the most pejorative of terms, says to me that either his education was wasted on him, or that he has very few social skills. That he thinks his audience will lap that sort of rhetoric up says a great deal of how little he values them.   Edited September 28, 2021 by Mister M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jim Hardie has it sorted. You should ask him to give you some tuition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It was 43.6% of the vote - a higher percentage than Blair managed in 1997, and the highest since 1979 (by the Conservatives I might add).  So not poor at all  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Thank you for admitting that Red Wall Tory voters are stupid enough to vote against their own interests.  Edited September 28, 2021 by The Joker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
