Of she apologized, after bring reamed out by the speaker.


She apologized when it dawned on her what a hole she’d dug herself into.

 

I’ll remind you the next time she does something similar. It’s her MO.
 

 

 

   Why not give some more examples ?

She's a feisty Woman who answers back .

I do think that Labour prefer their Woman to be like Dianne Abbot and Kamala Harris , stood being a White man looking pretty or just being Black , standing behind their man like an obedient Woman .

   Don't like it when she talks , leads  and answers back (to her critics)

*“You know, the leader of the Opposition thinks if you do a couple of shifts in McDonald’s, you become working class. So by that logic, if I keep coming back here – I could yet be the next James Bond.”*  

 

   What does it mean to be "working class" ?

Badenoch had to work in McDonalds to support herself and she worked whilst being in education .

   Why is Keir ridiculing her for that ?

Is Keir ridiculing  her because she had toi work and he didn't ?

It’s a question Badenoch might be able to answer as it is she, the daughter of a Doctor and a University Professor, who laughably claims she ‘became working class by working at McDonalds.

If she doesn’t get back to you with an explanation you might want to try EP Thompson’s classic, ‘The Making of the English Working Class’.

 

It really is a very good read.

Exactly and instead of acknowledging the diversity of her previous experiences growing up that also helped her understand the life of “single mothers” struggling to make ends meet, certain insight that could well have made her object to the policies enacted by her government that made life harder for the working classes.

 

Starmer mocks her along with some other posters here.

So coming from a privileged, wealthy background, living with both parents, but doing the occasional shift at a fast food outlet as a teenager, qualifies as understanding the life of single mothers......555

Are you really that ignorant of the peer group that she would have worked with? Where did I claim it qualifies her? I said it could give her an insight. The occasional shift? How do you know? She also says she did not have enough money for the bus fares, seems mummy and daddy did not wrap her in cotton wool.

Starmer claims he is a product of a toolmaker and that alone provides ample opportunity for comeback gags that would be much harder hitting than the joke that Starmers script writers came up with for him.   He is in the glassiest of glass houses from the idiotic things he has claimed, not forgetting his time in CPS where celebrity pedophiles were allowed to carry out their crimes with impunity and she should have had a better comeback than claiming "a conservative wouldn't be able to say that about a black labour MP".   It's just lame and the kind of nonsense I would expect the likes of Lammy/Abbot to spout.   

 

I think her time as leader of the Tories will be short lived.  One of their biggest donors (billionaire Nick Candy) has now defected to Reform and its only a matter of time before other "actual" conservative MPs start leaving the conservative-in-name-only party.  The local elections next May could be a bit of bloodbath for both Labour and the Tories.

    Wouldn't want the UK to end up like the USA where the two leaders end up having a never ending public bickering fest and they both just keep going on about each other all the time

Did they work there to?

 

Badenoch, who was born in the UK but spent the first part of her life in Nigeria before returning as a teenager, said her time at the fast food chain helped her understand the life of “single mothers” struggling to make ends meet 

I have absolutely no idea, and unless you know single mothers were working there at the same time how can you possibly claim she learned anything on the matter from her ‘co-workers’?

 

I’ve already commented on the absurdity of Badenoch’s claim.

 

Didn’t Jarvis Cocker write a song about such absurdity?

Don't believe her? that does not surprise me with your previous posts. Never heard of Cocker and have no wish to know....

   As Kemi stated that she learnt alot about poorer people and single mothers whilst working at McDonalds , you wouldn't need a University education to realise that the Kemi must have worked or mingled with single mothers and poorer people at McDonalds whilst working there .

   You are supporting an older privileged White middle class male in his attacks on a younger Black Immigrant who worked in McDonalds .

   Yet another example of the Left wing and the Right wing swapping places

I recommend you look Jarvis up, he address this exact absurdity of Badendoch’s claim.

I recommend you stay on topic, your claim that Badendoch's experiences are absurd are baseless and fact less. You are obviously still in your "Glass Cliff" hole

So you know her peer group, amazing insight, but my suggestion that a full time A level student only does occasional shifts is derided…..555

No, it’s not her experience…..it is just what she said was her experience…..she’s just being a politician……much the same as Starmer…..I’m not a fan of either.

 

I laboured on a building site, weekends, for three years from 16 …..I wouldn’t be arrogant enough to claim I know, empathise, or understand working mens lives on the back of that.

Right so another one that does not believe her.

 

Tell me, why are you on a political topic about what politicians say if you:

Builders don't work on Sundays and it's half day Saturday .

Was you working for your Dad ?

WAs you carry bricks up a ladder or just tidying up the tea hut ?

 Badendoch’s claims are patently absurd.

 

She somehow absorbs the working class culture, outlook, full life experience and the shared history of working class people because she flipped a few burgers and cleaned a few toilets.

 

Osmosis is a thing, but it has its limits.

Just weekends…..yes, apart from the school and college holidays, then I might get more days.

 

Private company building bespoke houses so we worked weekends….cheap labour.

 

Were you working for your dad?….No. Father died from oesophageal cancer when I was 14.

 

Mainly mixing cement…….for some reason by shovel…no cement mixer??…... Ditch digging, pipe laying, soak aways.

 

Don’t tell Brian you are asking these questions…..you’re not supposed to be interested.
