@OldRoberts953 Fuck me, she has the self-confidence that only entitled gormless idiots possess. I'm not from London but I knew there were parakeets and that they looked something like that.
@OldRoberts953 He looks like one of those chinless, specky twats who got bullied at school, and who is now getting his own back on everyone. God help us all. 😕
@TwisterFilm Agreed. Even at his advanced age, he still sees the world through the eyes of petulant, rights-obsessed, entitled teenage activist. He truly is an utter wanker.
@godblesstoto@OldRoberts953 Me too! The BBC even had him on a show, Three of a Kind, where I think they deliberately recruited a comedian who would never go on to do anything else ( David Copperfield) just so's Henry wouldn't look completely crap compared to Tracey Ullman. Instead, they both did.
@MigrationWatch Merriam -Webster: the only appropriate definition of "performative" is:
"made or done for show (as to bolster one's own image or make a positive impression on others)". I reckon the MP used that word because what was suggested wasnt actually cruel. So obfuscation was called for
@Madz_Grant Sarah Champion. The archetypal arts-bothering, too-much-time-on-her-hands, "passionate" middle class MP representing a working class constituency. I can only pray that this term will be the last for this do-gooder. And maybe the last for Ed Milliband too in Doncaster...
@OldRoberts953 Internet surfing seems to identify her as being related to the famous Leakeys of Africa and paleoanthropology. But apparently distances herself from that side of the family, her parents having divorced when she was young. Just ripe for absorbing all those luxury beliefs...
