Nadine Dorries : The Gift That Keeps On Giving

[Stickybottle]

How bad are things in the Tory party that this woman is deemed competent enough to be a government minister ? ?

I look forward to but also cringe at the thought of every time she is lined up to be on television

Yet infinitely more competent politicians lose their jobs ?

Unbelievable

[ichkeria]

Exactly what I was saying on the other thread.
Simple, if direct, questions.
That's how to handle it.
She should not be allowed on the airwaves.

[ichkeria]

"She should not be alloed on the arirwaves"

That's with my "Cabinet" hat on

Great entertainment for everyone else.
She's supposed to be the Secretary of State for "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport", not "Digital, Culture and Media Sport" ...

[Stickybottle]

To be honest ich I wish they would interview her every day
She is pure comedy gold

Watching her being interviewed by even a half decent journalist is like watching a lion toying with a baby deer

[Khandro]

What a horrible man!

[Peter Pedant]

Eric Pickles ( who he den) was a local gubmint minister
and deemed incompetent at every level

and any way if we consider American Presidents......

[Peter Pedant]

dont like lion and a baby deer
dear dear

oK what about - whenn she retorts, it is like being mauled by a dead sheep

[Peter Pedant]

What a horrible man!

yeah interviewers can be awful and aggressive.....and Nadine is tho thweet
oh oops sozza - yeah OK licko ( stickybottle that is!) is a horrible man, yeah go it

[Khandro]

sticky, If this is the kind of awful video you revel in, it says more about you than Nadine.

[naomi24]

Who is that man? I'm surprised the BBC allowed that to continue. Well done, Nadine, for maintaining your dignity - something that creature clearly knows little about.

Eric Pickles, yuk, when he was the Lord Mayor of Bradford he broke the established code of the Mayor abstaining form casting a deciding vote on council matters.

I hope we hear more from nadine today. She is doing a great job for Boris .!!!

[naomi24]

danny, sorry, but what does your post have to do with this?

[naomi24]

Ahhh... he's a 'comedian'.

No surprise I've never heard of him.

// Well done, Nadine, for maintaining your dignity //

I sometimes think people must be watching a different clip than what I am watching. How anyone could see her interview on Sunday and decide she came out of it with well done and dignity intact is beyond me. My reaction was it was a car crash and that her answers were bizarre.

[naomi24]

Gromit, is the clip in the OP the 'interview' you're talking about?

[ichkeria]

“ I'm surprised the BBC allowed that to continue”

You do realise that the video is a non-BBC person doing a commentary on a BBC interview.
Michael Spicer (not to be confused with the former Tory minister of course)

[dannyk13]

Naomi, it was in answer to PP .

[Khandro]

//How anyone could see her interview on Sunday and decide she came out of it with well done and dignity intact is beyond me. //

I think by "keeping her dignity" naomi perhaps means, not sinking to the level of this slob.
It's interesting how such low-life are so aggressive behind the screen of technology, not being in the same space as their unfortunate victims.
What a coward!

[ichkeria]

It’s Charlie Stayt doing the interview.
Michael Spicer has taken it and does his thing with it
Probably saying aloud what other Cabinet members were thinking when or if they saw it

[naomi24]

Ich, I had no idea who he was until I googled it. I just thought he was an obnoxious moron - and I was right. See my post at 10.54.
