Nadine Dorries: Culture secretary, is nothing more than a fucking immense oxymoron, with the emphasis on the "
moron". This is the woman who mugged off her party, and her constituents, to bugger off and eat a baked spider, Camel's toe, and Ostrich anus on
I Wish I Was A Celebrity, Put Me On Telly. She is living proof that there IS something denser than Osmium.
This is her "defending" Damian Green by making herself look like a complete idiot and a security risk to boot, as she offers proof of her regular contravention of the House of Commons Staff Handbook -
Chapter 23 - Section 5.6
She just loves that Rainbow flag...
...two weeks later: “So, we dropped to 27 points in tonight's polls. That gay marriage thing is really working for us.”
In 2015 she claimed: “On gay rights issues, I voted the way the gay community in my constituency asked me to.”
It may be true that gay people in Mid Bedfordshire asked Dorries to vote against their right to marry, who knows?
Dorries now says she supports same-sex marriage and regrets having voted the way she did... but she also said she was “pro-gay marriage” in 2012, before voting against it twice the next year…
What else? Well, she seems to have an issue telling people with ethnic backgrounds other than white apart:
Six years later Ash Sarkar would find herself at the receiving end of another ethnic minority balls-up on Dorries’ part. The MP tweeted about a video containing Sarkar but identified her as Labour activist Faiza Shaheen.
Here's our Culture Secretary being cultured...
Brexit you say? Oh yes, she loves Brexit...
Does anyone know what the population of Hartlepool is? I'll tell you, it's around 92,000 including children and pensioners, so "180,000 well-paid jobs," seems all the more impressive when armed with that little fact.
She also went viral after complaining that that same Brexit deal she tweeted about above would leave the UK with no MEPs.
Well
DUH! Doris. Brexit means no MEPs and no "voice" in Europe. Who'd have thought it? Best tell the PM before he does something stupid.
For those who haven't worked it out yet, I abhor the simple-minded bint. She is an oxygen thief of the first water.
She's not too good with geography either, or... how can I phrase it..? Knowing stuff.
She was duly reminded that Sadiq Khan is Mayor of London, not Rotherham.
She also makes a big play of coming from Liverpool, and how much she loves the (working-class) people of Liverpool. Here's some news for you Nadine, As a Liverpool FC supporter I speak to a lot of scousers via Twatter and Farcebook, every day, and they fucking hate you with a passion.
I'd better stop this. I wouldn't want to start ranting.
I'll leave you with one final little nugget of Nadine-ness
At her first appearance before a select committee as Culture Secretary, the subject of Channel 4 came up. She said there would be a consultation that will focus on “
how Channel 4 will survive in the future”.
Imagine the surprise of culture select committee member Damian Green when, in response to his question about
why politicians are involving themselves in what is essentially a private sector enterprise, Dorries answered by pointing out that “
just because it’s in receipt of public money [it doesn’t mean] we should never audit the future of Channel 4”.
Green interrupted her and pointed out that Channel 4 is “
not like the BBC, it’s not in receipt of licence fee money”.
Dorries engaged in some Johnso-like floundering, faffing, and fumbling. “
Aaaand,” she stammered. “
Sooo… although it’s… yeah. And…”.
Channel 4 is ultimately owned by Dorries’ department but is funded entirely through advertising revenue. Last year it made a pre-tax surplus of £74m (the company is not-for-profit).
You'd have thought she might have known that.
