Buy some of our ethical goods now to fight consumerism.

Knowing Laura, she thinks getting the facts from the people - little bit communism.

Facts?

FACTS?!

You dare to oppress our latter-day La Passionara with your vile, bigoted, narrow-minded, patriarchal, male-dominated concepts of FACTS?!

You'll be wanting her to corrupt herself with such evils as 'The Truth' and actually giving a toss about things other than her own career and ego if you carry on like that.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Bad me. Must go sit on a fork.

 

[temper_tantrum]

Westminster isn't the glossiest (or whatever) stop on the Jubilee. That's Canary Wharf. Obviously.

 

[The39thStep]

There are so many issues with that its not actually clear which one your drawing attention to.

that is the modus operandi though, she is fighting on all fronts so we can see the bigger picture

Absolutely bonkers night last night. Had picture taken for Missy magazine. Now have residual sharpie feminist tattoos all over me.

I'm like some sort of Riot Grrl version of Pillow Talk today. Tempted to run to a tattoo shop and get them done permanently.

"Editor at Large". She is being used but doesn't realise it. I am baffled by her ultra-American pronunciation of the title New Ink wirry (Inquiry to you and me).

Yes I noticed the uncomfortable glottal stops. She will have picked that up at school I expect.

 

[Balbi]

I'm a wri'er And later on 'ar'icles'.

I've got a pretty non-descript r.p, taught english, southern voice - I moved a lot as a kid, and never got grounded in a local accent. So, I sound like what a lot of people expect a Tory to sound like. I tried to mock it up a bit as a teenager, as my voice marked me out and I wanted to fit in.

LP's a private educated oxbridge grad, and you can hear her actual voice straining to get out from the layers of shit she's got to chuck on it to make herself feel comfortable in what she's doing.

 

[Balbi]

She can't win. The more posh your voice sounds, the more privileged and less in touch you are seen to be. Compensating for that accentuates it.

I've been told I don't know what it was like growing up in a working class family in the 90's - which was funny because I did - and curiously, been told I have no idea what it was like growing up in households in the 80's, 70's, 60's...which also invalidates any points I make. Inverse snobbery

It's probably I make shit points though - but sometimes I reckon it's down to having a posho voice and quite like having a collar and cuff'd shirt on. Hides my gut

From the ugly mug thread you do look smart, but sometimes there is also the serial killer thing going on as well.

Sorry.

Are there sheets of paper on the cooker? It's not right.

Your name will also go on the list.

I met balbi once on northampton high street shopping for christmas fripperies and he did not murder me or anyone with me. Although he may have wanted to? Hard to say.
