Corbyn now Angela Rayner another reason not to vote Labour 🤔

She lacks education, and this period has been the best time ever for people who fouled up their chances at school to resume their education, with a great deal of financial support.
If John Prescott could do it, so could she.
I don't know how she can mix with well-educated people every day and not want to emulate them.

The rest of the world has little respect for the UK right now. Little wonder as we have little respect for ourselves and our country. Does anyone honestly think that having Angela Rayner representing us on the world stage is going to enhance our image?

What countries have you traveled to recently to form this opinion.

Yes Iam I’m a northerner too, although not living in the north now. Still a fairly regular visitor though. But I’ve never referred to any politician as our. In fact I rarely do so for my family any longer.

Oh my.

She may not have what some regard as education but she has achieved a great deal by becoming Deputy Leader of a great political party (Mrs Thatcher's description of the Labour Party). A Tory Minister used to be a fireplace salesman.

Another was a lorry driver.

That’s hilarious 😂 what planet are you on.

She isn’t our Angela, she’s an MP, not a mate or a friend. She represents her constituency, not all of us.

... and yet a considerable number of people spoke of Boris Johnson as if he were their 'friend'... referring to him as Boris.

I'm still trying to work out who he represented - apart from himself.

Never ‘our Boris’

No Annie, never ‘our Boris’. Always Mr Johnson or just Johnson

Funny about the posh accents. I assume they are thick. Seriously. Just my experiences in life but it is very, very rare to hear one in Australia now.

What a stupidly ignorant thing to say.

I am stupidly ignorant. I’m a bloody Aussie and we don’t do accents. I detest posh accents, they make me sick. Posers.

It’s a boringly English trait to attempt to avoid being directly rude to people with whom we disagree.
MerylStreep was direct here. It does happen when we get very cross -

People grow up absorbing the accent of their background whether it be from a privileged one or not.

A "posh" accent doesn't mean its owner is a "poser" nor does a northern accent indicate that someone is dumb.

People from both demographics can be posers - attention-seeking self-publicists.

You’re right of course, Dickens. Sometimes my humour can be a bit off. Mea Culpa.

What inverted snobbery. Don't like posh accents. At least you can understand what they are saying.

I so dislike talk of posh accents / working class accents.

How very unkind to say that people with posh accents make you sick and are posers, nanna8. Many kind and genuine people were born into families with posh accents or went to a school or worked in a profession where they were expected to speak in a certain way.

I don’t really care about accents but I do care about what is said in Parliament. I don’t like Tory scum but nor do I like let the bodies pile high.
Both comments are unnecessary and unkind, and certainly unbecoming from our political classes.

Neither of them were said in Parliament.

No, I realise that that but they were said by our parliamentarians.

I regularly watch Uni Chall and am constantly surprised at how little knowledge many of the students have of the arts and music. These are subjects that many people talk about socially and such knowledge can be useful in job interviews for example since they show that one is a well rounded person.

So, what do you think comprises a good education?

"If John Prescott could do it, so could she."

What in anyone's life experience/education makes that that a truth?

Too many thats.

There’s only one answer to this really. I give you Gillian Keegan….
