Not very PC is she? Heck.

I’m sure the sandwiches did just fine Joseann !
I must look up Mariners for when we are next in Cornwall.
My husband is always on the lookout for somewhere different (and good) for us to try!

I think you will find, MaizieD , that most authors pay researchers for material; it is a recognised job; they are given a brief and ask to collect information on the subject. The author's work is to present it.

I think you'll find, eazybee that I said that the research was paid for.

However, that is no guarantee that the research is thorough or accurate.

Rick Stein’s for lunch Joseann?!!

Not with dog in tow! Sandwiches on a bench.
Mariners (Paul Ainsworth) in Rock tomorrow evening though. Leaving dog with DS and family!

Is he a short arse, though? đŸ€­

He is nasty, sexist, misogynistic and inaccurate.
And vengeful.

I could write more but I am more restrained than him.

No, I am not joking.
What he has written bears out the information she has given in her many interviews.

But he's nasty about everyone.

So no fear or favour.

He is nasty, sexist, misogynistic and inaccurate. I’ll give him one thing though, he excels at hyperbole. It’s like reading Barbara Cartland on politics, even funnier than Nadine.

I genuinely thought you were being ironic when you cited Lord Ashcroft’s books eazybee, just look online to the reviews and the inaccuracies. This was Carrie Johnson’s reaction.

His books get terrible reviews.

It is a quote from Nadine Dorries' book, 'The Plot'.
Good that it’s getting wider attention.

Prove it!

I don’t know about pint sized, but she has definitely called him a loser and it’s easy to find. Here it is.

Thanks Joseann. Lovely scenery and gorgeous dog.

Joseann Fri 26-Apr-24 12:34:23

Just sneaking in a lunchtime photo of Padstow this morning for MissAdventure and AGAA4.
Back to read up on AR later.

Did not say you said it Oreo,

Oreo Fri 26-Apr-24 12:13:38

I have never said that and wouldn’t it’s a horrible insult.
But we can criticise an MP regardless of their upbringing, a sink estate or Eton.

Anniebach Fri 26-Apr-24 12:07:10

No earthly reason to say she came from the gutter

Its fascinating how she seems to upset women far more than men.

This forum is mainly women, so what do you expect?😄
Seems to me that it’s not her roots that are a problem, I mean, well done for getting where she is with trade union help of course, but it’s what she says and the manner of it.Also the fact that she was and is, a great fan of Corbyn and his political ideas.
In other words, too far left for this voter.

Grantanow Fri 26-Apr-24 11:48:38

Her comment on Sunak was 'sizeist' but he will be a loser come the GE.

MissAdventure Fri 26-Apr-24 10:59:03

It's just based on what I have seen said about her on social media.

I didn't collect evidence, as such, any more than anyone here has evidence to support that she comes "from the gutter" or other such delightful assertions.

She does say that other women mps are supportive, as they all are of each other.
So, that's something straight from the horses mouth provided by wyllow.

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 26-Apr-24 10:45:14

I would like to see your evidence for that assertion.

MissAdventure Fri 26-Apr-24 10:37:26

It would appear however that the majority of the really nasty attacks on her from social media are by men
www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/angela-rayner-opens-up-terrifying-27178370

I do not think that kind of abuse is on the same level.

Hoping she gets shot...
Abuse by men, yes absolutely, but the horrible slurs on everything about her seem particular to women.

The average man in the the street appears not that upset by her, even if they acknowledge she is gobby.

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 26-Apr-24 10:33:00

That’s not proof that it hasn’t been said elsewhere is it?
