  1. It’s not like it’s a new word or anything. That’s just embarrassing. But no worse than the other shite comes out of her mouth

  2. … can someone tell me what was the point she was making. I stopped listening to the clown after that “socker” of a mess-up.

  3. Bah, you expect the UK Foreign Secretary to be able to pronounce the name of prime minister of their nearest country?

    What’s the point going to Oxford if people expect you to know stuff later. You’d have to stop cheating on your husband to make that happen.

  4. Tea sock. It’s the only way to drink tea in my opinion, gives it a… fermented taste, in an old one of course, but not a freshly washed one, that’s fucking weird. Dickheads.

  5. She made the effort at least.

    It’s more than I would’ve expected from a Tory these days.

    Most are the sort that you see online refusing to call the country Ireland and insist on calling it Eire.

  6. That felt like a deliberate demonstration of contempt. Would you go to the trouble of finding the word and not asking how to say it?

  7. On another note. I think this attitude right here is why Ireland is so much better off in the EU.

    She’s so desperate to paint it as “oh why can’t the Irish just get in line already”

    The Brits just cannot seem to accept that the Irish position IS the EU position. They really had their way pushing us around for so long and they can’t deal with us being the bigger voice for once.

  8. “strongly encourage” & “discuss it with the EU ” the mindset of these type of people, it’s hard to decipher is it deliberate attempt to provoke or just total contempt or just idiocy.

  9. Have they ever said what they plan to offer in compromise?

    “We want to *renegotiate* the deal to the same deal, but without this one part that we don’t like, which is also the cornerstone that solves the problem that makes a deal impossible. And we want to do it despite this part of the deal being extremely popular with the people actually effected, because nationalist egos are fragile”

  10. If folks want to be pedantic about a English person with like zero exposure to Irish we shouldn’t forget many many Irish people pronounce it wrong too.

    Throwing stones in glass houses and all.

  11. My International Relations tutor worked with her a decade or so back. “Vapid, shallow, clueless moron” was the most neutral description for her he could come up with.

  12. How hard is it to say ‘teeshock’ anyway? It’s not like anyone expects her accent to be good but the actual syllables are not hard. Fuck sake

  13. She did her best, god love her. If she hadn’t been so insulting about the Irish, with her turnip comments, I might be inclined to forgive her.
