Baroness Wheatcroft ~ Another Out Of Touch Remainer Snob

Unbelievable!Her and that other rampant snob Heseltine would be a perfect match for each other. Conservative peer Baroness Wheatcroft left LBC listeners livid when she insisted that anyone who voted Brexit is wrong.https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/nick-ferrari/tory-baroness-wheatcroft-lbc-listeners-furious/

She's not a snob - she's voicing an opinion just like you do. Just happens to be a different one from yours.

She is a snob. Her voice was full of contempt when she spoke about the East Midlands and Anne Widdecombe. AW should have been elevated to the HoL years ago imo. She would have wiped the floor with snobs like Heseltine and Wheatcroft.

Sue. Voice full of contempt? A bit like the way you talk about Richard Carter then.

Freddie Francis ● 2722d

Freddie, I think it's works by ways with Dickie, as he likes rubbing people up the wrong way too.Sue, Unfortunately the Remainer snobs are pushing a certain narrative to line their pockets, and it will only go away when the House of Lords is disbanded, hopefully by a new Brexit government.

Paul Game ● 2722d

Freddie I am way behind him in the contempt stakes.

Sue Hammond ● 2722d

Shiuldnt comment as I didn't see the programme but I note if she is then she's a Conservative snob. I've certainly come across a few of those in my time, although not all Conservatives are snobs. Most of the liberals and Liberals I've come across in my time have been pretty down to earth. I suspect "snob" isn't really the best description? Perhaps "superiority comp!ex" might be better, but as I say didn't see it, just guessing.

It wasn't a tv programme Michael, it was a conversation with NF on LBC this morning. There is an audio clip in the link. She's so affected she can barely get her words out lol.https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/nick-ferrari/tory-baroness-wheatcroft-lbc-listeners-furious/

Ms Hammond'Conservative peer Baroness Wheatcroft left LBC listeners livid when she insisted that anyone who voted Brexit is wrong'.As usual  a very strange comment that reflects so badly upon you and other Brexiteers.Why should you get 'livid' when someone says you are wrong over any issue ?First this might just indicate a valid difference of opinion."You are wrong to support Liverpool - Spurs are a better team'Probably unprovable but not worth getting emotionally angry over it.Or it might be a statement of fact."You are wrong to assume Brexit will reduce immigration because whilst that from the EU may be being curtailed, that from non-EU countries seems to be increasing".Unarguable so why get upset ?Always, always anger, insult and bile.Oh and if certain Remainers are 'out of touch (with whom) snobs', are some Brexiteers 'self-opinionated bigots' ?

Sue, I often listen to LBC too, but some of the presenters, especially that awful James person in the morning are so biased and frankly offensive.I think you have to understand that all these people have an axe to grind and are not completely reliable in their views, it's all about opinions.

Bunny Payne ● 2719d

James O'Brien is very depressing to listen to.I always switch off when he comes on.Not sure why they give him a platform.

Paul Game ● 2719d

because he is very popular among remainers and LBC aren't there purely to entertain leavers? I believe it's called balance.

Matt Palmer ● 2719d

Definitely a balance, which is more than the BBC manage.I turn off the radio/tv when Farage is on, which will surprise no-one.

Lucille Grant ● 2719d

Is Michael Heseltine a "rampant snob"?

Sarah Roberts ● 2719d

@BunnyYou mean James O'Brien! I have to switch him off🤬 and I'm not too keen on Shelagh Fogarty in the afternoon either.

Sue Hammond ● 2719d

Paul I didn't see that you had already answered Bunny. Apart from O'Brien being a raving Leftie he's got such a bloody dreary voice. I couldn't believe it when he started a podcast.

Sue Hammond ● 2719d

Yes, that's his name.  Its not his opinions necessarily (although I don't share them) it's just his attitude, which I find superior and quite nasty.  I've met a couple of people like him in my life and I would avoid them like the plague!
