I know GN will not change the lies in headlines unless the OP asks for it to be done. However, it's import all media show the truth.

I wonder when the law can be changes to endure this?

Always read legal advice very carefully ( especially the caveats and further recommendations) and get the best you can afford.

I agree Primrose53

On the BBC news a couple of nights ago she was talking about wanting to make sure “everything was done proper”
Ye gods.

No. I’ve protested about this before.

She said “did everything proper”.

There is nothing grammatically wrong with this and those who scoff just show their own deficiencies.

Proper, in this case, refers to the noun everything, as in “did everything (that was) proper.

Nothing to do with my opinion of Angela Rayner. Purely an irritation re grammar.

I really don't care how an MP speaks - it's what they do that matters to me. You would think in this day and age this sort of snobbery would have died out, but it hasn't.

I do care about how someone uses grammar in their first language; she has claimed it is a dialect, which it is not, it is laziness and a lack of attention to detail, which is the flaw which ultimately was responsible for her downfall.
She has been given opportunities way beyond the reach of most MPs and wasted them, mainly because she was promoted beyond her capabilities. Her conduct was inappropriate for high office, and the 'oh she only made a mistake 'does not ring true; she had access to the highest legal advice possible, and the money to afford it, which many people do not.
The best thing she could do now would be to register at Ruskin College as John Prescott did, and study politics, if she thinks she still has a future there.

If you go on the mobile site, you can hide threads you don't wish to follow.

For some reason this facility is not available on the desktop site, but it is still hidden if you click back to desktop.

We really don’t have to disagree.

Any study of a grammatical textbook will make it clear.
