I like that Mary didn't line up "correct" books behind her, in fact she didn't even tidy her bookshelf.
Full marks.
She also looks bored.
“A thousand of your closest friends”? Some friends they must all be.
I have refused to wear a mask for well over a year. No one has challenged me.
There is a government petition "Prohibit employers from requiring staff to be vaccinated against Cov-19" due to be debated on 24th January.
Please show your support to unvaccinated NHS staff who face being sacked by signing the petition!
Over 170K signatures!
I'd rather not be treated by anti-medicine disease spreaders, thanks.
The fact the NHS employs such idiots certainly explains poor disease management, MRSA, and the scandals at so many NHS hospitals.
The pandemic did not widen the class divide, governments' moronic response did.
Mary is absolutely right
The bourgeoisie are loving covid. The proletariat are suffering it.
I must add Mary more power to you 😊😊, on this most very important stance , it’s becoming so obvious to some , here we go , look the “disease has been commodified ☠️”
The class divide has been exacerbated: between the gatekeeper media class, and the rest of society.
Far too many of the commentariat have pontificated and told the rest of the nation what is right and wrong, despite their lives remaining relatively unaffected, whilst others have toiled and suffered.
The media and "journalists", with certain notable exceptions, have been utterly disgraceful in their lack of questioning, critical thought, and investigation, over the last two years.
I strongly believe this will be the tipping point that, when the facts inevitably begin leaking out, many media organisations will go under due to their lies and lies by omission.
I like the Spectator, and think Fraser Nelson has done a good job, but Andrew Neil has debased himself over the past two years to such a point he really needs to resign as Chairman.
Well said. The lack of scrutiny and healthy scepticism shown by the overwhelming majority of the mainstream media to the government narrative on Covid has been utterly shameful. They've totally bought into the fear-mongering and vilification of anybody who questioned the massively alarmist official narrative. The media is supposed to hold those in power to account. They have totally failed, underlining their increasing irrelevance.
The criminally mismanaged pandemic has exposed everyone's core. Neil is old and looks unwell. His corporate heart is obvious. It's sad to lose those who could be great champions of integrity. This journalist is really speaking about how inexpert bad government destabilizes societies. But criminal fact-distorting authoritarianism misrepresented Covid from 2019 to exploit its trillion-dollar market. The USA's infamous synthetic drug culture has been unleashed upon The West. China and 2%/top Politicians, like the EU's president Ursula (who just moved on) and her husband (are the global Directors of the world's largest Virus component World Corp/headquarters NYC, whose shares soared over 450%. The silencing of the real experts who know how to treat disease is akin to warfare. At the core are greed and embezzlement. NHS, BBC, Tory, and now Labour, a token broken by sheer nepotic and foreign corruption.
Mary Berry is great. And she's somehow aged 10 years backwards suddenly
Brilliant discussion, Mary you are so spot on 😊😊
Love this gal!
A thousand closest friends, i am defo doing something wrong.
More than a class divide
This might be controversial but I think there's a sense in which people actually want some sort of culture war because it makes life more interesting. The opposite of the 60s to the 90s when the zeitgeist was in the opposite direction, where it felt like different types of people were becoming slightly more similar than they used to be in the 1930s and earlier for instance.
@@ajs41 I agree but with a slightly different take. During my productive life (I'm old and invisible now), we strove for real inclusion and equality and made real progress I really was colour blind and saw ability and character rather than difference regardless of sex, age, colour or people's choice of partner.
The past decade has striven to focus on difference, intent on division, even segregation, all the while looking down their sanctimonious noses at we "unenlightened" masses.
This whole COVID 19 experience was to see how capable we are to deal with something that's not in our control. We failed because of how we reacted we have become too emotional and didn't use one bit of lodjic or common sense or understanding of of how weak we really are. Unfortunately this didn't go well and we didn't learn much because of it. COVID 19 was a test of our humanity and we failed. Now we are being tested with mass migration and again we are failing. We are doing something but it's not good either, we are putting ourselves in a terrible economic situation by allowing total strangers walk into our neighborhood and letting them take over by replacing our own needy and homelessness is going to be worse off. By saying and doing nothing we are ending our own way of life.
It would be helpful if you spoke more closely into your microphone - it’s often difficult to make out what you’re saying. Cheers!
Yes, I think she is well and truly part of the neurotic class. Good grief.
The rich are just vulgar, Mary. 😵💫
We have a moral duty not to comply. No to discriminatory vaccine passports and mandates, it is an utter disgrace. This must not happen England. Will never vote Labour or Tory again. Disgraceful
Or Green, or Lib Dem. None of the major parties had different approaches
Why, in this county are we always so intent on pigeon holing people in one group or class or another? In this woman’s eyes just using a laptop puts you in a different “class” creating discord, discontent and envy. Why do this? Also massive overuse of the word “characterised” as is the case so often in these type of exchanges.
The Kardashians are upperclass!?
I think not.
Folks, aren’t your knees sore by now?
Thatcher would be pleased. Keep the plebs down.
Thatcher was pro-pleb.
Says a leftie whose parents gave him an upper class Christian name.
This is full of nonsensical generalisations.
Can you explain?
Isn’t that itself a nonsensical generalisation?
@@paulklee5790 heheh great response.
Let the women twitter on about ‘class’ and ‘divide’, as if they care. Keeps them from twittering on about other stuff.
@@glowmentor so sorry your mummy didn't give you enough cuddles
