Probably far fewer than his daughter in fact.....
she's just slimy overly "mumsy" annoying smarmy
and thats just her good points
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
I think you have failed bigly to recognise her good points
If devil's spawn daughter appears on TV I mute the sound, switch it off or leave the room ... coke-snorting, lying trollop ... the only silver spoon she uses is the one in her gob from birth.
I shed no tears for the demise of her slimeball, cretinous father ... another instrumental Thatcherite crony that laid the foundations for the demise of the UK's social, political and economic fabric.
If you want a realistic (non-political, no BS) assessment of the UK's current status in the world then I compel you to watch this ... the last line uttered in this docu says it all.
Good riddance to Lawson et al

Who cares - do you like Nigella?
At least less unbiased than representing only a single viewpoint - given that most arguments have more than two sides.
Strange times.
The Balance Principle is only applied selectively in any case - almost all economic analysis expresses the ideological prejudices of governments since Thatcher, while modern macroeconomic theory doesn't adhere to those principles and is often contradictory to it. But is rarely featured, and then represented as fringe voices (even when those voices are not in any way fringe in actual economic circles). In that way, ideology (that often runs counter to actual experience) is presented as unassailable fact.
For example, the simplified model that represents the country's economy as a household economy ("maxing out the nation's credit card") is fundamentally wrong on many levels, but taken for granted by the economic departments of news organisations, who then go on to repeat government nostrums derived from those fallacious assumptions as though they were fact. Things like the budget, or economic statistics are uniformly reported from the point of view of those political orthodoxies, despite the fact that they don't reflect reality. In the case of the budget any "balance" is political (a Labour spokesperson is given a couple of minutes, often contextualised in a dismissive way), but there isn't room for critique or analysis drawn from alternative models to be represented.
The current state of the country is a proof of this: the economic policies enacted since 2010 have been hugely destructive and economically illiterate, resulting in the rotting of civil society at all levels. The connection between austerity and social problems can be drawn directly, and the narrative that allowed those policies to seem sensible and even laudable was constructed in newsrooms.
Another example is the way that programmes like Question Time are careful to include representatives of UKIP / Brexit Party / Reform UK because they supposedly have a certain amount of support in the country, but not have similar lives of representation for the Green Party despite similar levels of support (even when broadcasting from areas where there are particularly high levels of Green support, such as Bristol).
Yes, I'd like to spread it all over her as well.
Any chance of an introduction to your mum?
