How Allegra Stratton DAMNS The British Media
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2024
- The rise and fall of Allegra Stratton is about so much more than a Tory government which flouted its own rules while ordinary people couldn't hold the hands of their dying loved ones. Here was a journalist who demonised the poor instead of challenging the powerful, who sums up an incestuous media and political elite, who glided breezily between media outlets which are supposed to mercilessly challenge our rulers and the government itself. This says everything about our media industry - and our broken democracy.

Auto Allegra's resignation speech scores -3 for her unconvincing,
lacrimation-free, excess whining, and sniffing! 'Can't put it down to
lack of practice when her job was to tell convincing brazen porkies. But
don't fret. I'm sure she'll soon have a more lucrative job, from one
of the old boys' in her network.
Easy prediction.
Allegra will rise again (with better pay).
It’s called punishment by promotion.
Allegra is an example of why we need genuinely working class people to be provided opportunities to work at the heart of
U.K. government.
The genuine working class people Labour detest and think are thick oiks you mean?
Totally. Unfortunately those jobs are usually reserved for the privileged rich kids of well-heeled maters & paters.
Satoshi Nakamoto.. Those two are trolls. English Nationalists. To my mind they are contemptabie.
@Satoshi Nakamoto Owen Jones and his ilk have helped in no small way to make labour unelectable and for that we should all be grateful
I found Allegra's tearful apology pathetic...what is she crying about ? the fact that she was willfully laughing about the breaking of rules and she had lost her job for publicly being shown to laugh at the flouting of rules.
Honestly does she really expect sympathy...as she goes back into whatever million pound home with no fears of econmoic hardship or homelessness and more lightly back into some other well paid position together with her well paid husband.the poor privately educated,Oxbridge personal friend of Boris and his wife.Its pathetic really
She’s sad because she got caught.
@@34566454332 yeah I know ..boo hoo poor little Allegra..I wonder how shes going to manage 😪🤣
The tears are caused by knowing that her media career is finished, she is a media face and knows that her future career prospects are writing for the Spectator or showing up on GB news.
It's incredible how much our society elevates people of monstrously weak moral character at best, and sociopathic cartoon villains at worst.
Yes rewarding privileged Civil Servants and BBC presenters with ever more status, access to the public platform, gongs, cash and directorships
Why do we reward the impossibly privileged ever more?
Yet society ignores modest people dedicating their lives to small charitable endeavors without prospect of fame or fortune. Podcasts with super privileged personalities is a prime example of piling privilege upon privilege for those who've won the lottery of life
@@creativecascades1328 two years ago several women BBC presenters with audiences of around 5.000 listeners took the BBC to court on the premise they deserved the same pay as there male colleagues who had much larger audiences, Anyway needless to say the judge judged in their favour and thus they were each awarded several hundred thousand by way of compensation. This of course made these already well paid women wealthy women. The difference being of course if a working class woman takes her employer to court she would be lucky to get a couple of thousand,
This woman crocodile tears, she slagged off benefit claimants .u know before covid they all were shouting austerity, shutting library’s , sport centres etc, when this covid crisis is over who’s going to pay the costs, the less well off that’s who , this woman cried not because she was sorry but because she lost a cushy well paid job.
As Ash alluded to; it all starts at posh public schools. Labour MUST close down all public schools as a matter of urgency if ever they are able to get back into power.
@@happyjonn9242 Yeah she's too posh and non white to be ever working class. Owen Jones talks middle class northern.
Posh horse girl is my quote of the day!
Stratton also memorably gave her personal endorsement to the Tory Party Manifesto over the Labour Party Manifesto live, on air, on BBC Newsnight, unchallenged, during the 2015 general election.
Of course if it were the other way around she'd probably be disgusted.
Another stormin', direct hit, Mr Jones! And Sarker's a star, too! Many thanks. Keep on truckin'
W Churchill: "Keep buggering on!"😃😉
Journalists as "COURT STENOGRAPHERS" . Priceless. Thank you.
Mrs. Stratton was on a short term COP26 contract that was expiring soon. So, she basically quit a couple of weeks early. She’ll probably get a job at her husband’s The Spectator.
Thanks for this, it proves my point. Everyone is focusing on the dead cat, not the fact that we're being governed by criminals who break the law with impunity time and time again.
Excellent stuff Owen and Ash. If only the main stream media had more people like you employed the country would be a better place!
"... _had more people like you employed_ ..." Which is exactly why they're not, as Chomsky has already commented about the BBC interviewers!
Only 7% of the British people are privately educated but that 7% dominate all the top jobs regardless of ability, competence or character.
The class system socialises the upper classes together. It is networking and forming its internal rules and syntax from birth to exclusive schooling, into a closed society gifting each other opportunities. There’s always a connection to be called on and a favour to grant. The recent appearance of Boris as a super advocate of this secret society is pulling strings and pushing doors open and shut, in such a gauche and guileless way that we can see the mechanisms in action. Boris has allowed the rest of us to begin wising up. All of those people happily watching Downton Abbey to bask in roseate nostalgia for aristocracy with everyone knowing their place under their glass ceiling, can now see that actually, privilege never went away. When people vote for Conservatives in the current populist strand, they are consigning themselves to restrictions and in this case, a naked removal of our democracy. The aristocratic old money network is blurring the lines and ultimately taking back their birthright. They’re pulling up the ladders and closing the drawbridge and keeping the great unwashed, unwashed and distanced from true democracy.
Only cried because she got caught prove me wrong😠
Get an Oxford PPE degree and you can do anything you like in politics or journalism. It's a pushover.
Like Owen Jones, you mean?
Allegra's comments did not 'seem' to make light of the rules... they DID make light of the rules.. The whole tory ethos on display there... Do as I say not as I do... Cry crocodile tears when caught out.
To say that Ash just shat on Allegra Stratton's career as a 'journalist' would be an understatement.
Gavin Esler is a much better jounalist and appropriately apologises on behalf of a poor quality journalist. Stratton, I think, doesn't regret any of the hurt she caused to others, she regrets getting caught out being Allegra Stratton! She'll end up on someone else's gravy train
This says everything about our society.. unfortunately.
This is all about personal integrity, personal integrity is in the final analysis, the only thing that a human being has absolute control over. So anyone who is willing to compromise and act against what would be widely regarded as 'right' by their own standards are inevitably traumatised by the realisation of their behaviour. It's being caught then publicly exposed as despicable that has traumatised their cognitive dissonance.
quoting from the economist Steve Keen quoting Kim Beazley onetime Labour MP in Australia who said ‘in my youth the Labour party was represented by the cream of the working class, now its represented by the dregs of the Middle class’ the same can be said of journalism.
Boom! Yeah!
Allegra Stratton should have personally apologized to the single mother.
Embarrassed bc she got caught not bc she said/did what she did!
It is lovely to see Ash looking really well she must be feeling alot happier now adays.
Sorry Allegra 😪🐊😪 ... but No Sympathy towards you darling
Ash Sarker totally incisive analysis, we so need more of this but in mainstream media, we hardly see it?
She just didn't think about the ramifications, this attitude comes from the top.
The revolving door managed to keep the lid on this for a year. How did it escape into the public interest?
Strategic snivelling
Having kids you can’t afford is a lifestyle choice
It's not a cabinet, it's a court.
Heh heh... A lot of so-called journalists in the Lobby are nothing but jumped up stenographers ... Great observation.
Art runs Scotland today Thomas. Art runs the Scottish government. Art help you Thomas Scotland economically and politically Art improve Scotland.
Savage analysis by the brilliant Ash
Today Nick Ferrari of LBC has been holding a torch to Allegra Station by carrying on her work of accusing the British public of being lazy & workshy for not taking up the 1-point-something million job vacancies.
Johnson's fall guy if you fly with the crows you also get shot at as well.
Karma anyone? 🥘 🥶
Why is nobody talking about the men who was with her.
Absolutely..its not like there are not others who need to take the blow but lease not lets not make this about poor Allegra being scapegoated or even because "shes a woman"...we want lots of heads to roll who where at the party ..including Boris who we still do not know if he knew about it which I'm sure he did ..him and Allegra are best mates and Boris's wife
If you were Boris- would you not immediately find out who in number 10 were flouting rules and fire every single one publicly. Surely that’s the only way to show you yourself didn’t know and understand how revolting it was. There is only one reason why he hasn’t done that- because he himself also broke rules and he can’t risk being outed
Don’t downplay the death toll of austerity on the British public. More than 120,000 from austerity and add to that the death toll from the Covid response.
Yeah. But no.
Mortality was lower in 2019 than 2010. So where are all these austerity deaths? I know the article / data you are referring to. I'm an actuary. That paper is a-level quality at best. Presumes the mortality IMPROVEMENTS we saw on the 00s, which were due yo us getting great at heart stuff, should have de-facto continued to IMPROVE at the same rate in the 10s. We knew. The mortality statistician experts. That wouldn't be the case in 2002. No need to wait to the 10s to know that. Mortality has IMPROVED "under austerity" (of the government spending more than 40% of our money every year. It didn't spend 40% or more from 97-07. So hasn't really been austere.)
Improved for every income decile.
@@danielwebb8402 Perhaps all those who would die because of austerity, post 2010, were dead by 2019.
@@GeorgeGeorgeOnly
I could have been clearer
Mortality continued to IMPROVE all the time in the 10s. So 2011 was lower than 2010 etc.
@@happyjonn9242
Nope.
The UK had less than 6m deaths over 2010-19. Do you think more than half of all deaths are due to austerity? That without austerity mortality would have been, roughly, 45% of that from the noughties rather than 90%?
Austin Allegro gets -3 for simulated lacrimation (tearless, unconvincing whining, and excess sniffing). She should be able to do better than that when her full-time job was communicating lies!
Interesting how those who routinely proclaim we shouldn't comment on how women dress / look / deport themselves are now all doing just that
@@creativecascades1328 Oh! What, so suddenly this is a feminist thing?
@@GeorgeGeorgeOnly Any old straw man or ad hominem argument, will do in a storm, for the hard of thinking!
@@creativecascades1328 "... _those who routinely proclaim_ ..." You know absolutely nothing about me.
yep - you nailed it
Interesting that Allegra Stratton is now more unemployed than her victim ever was. But I expect she's rather more sympathetic to her own condition.
She has friends and contacts. She won't be signing on to UC.
@@GeorgeGeorgeOnly unless she gets a job immediately she will be willing to claim whatever benefits she can
@@molybdomancer195 oh she'll have a huge nest egg.
💋.......Allegra Stratton became the person she created, and that was cataclysmic.......
She's only sad she got caught.
From Allegra Stratton to Triste Stratton.
why feel ashamed she worked at the guardian? this paper showed its stripes when corbyn was a real threat to the establishment of which they're a part. much respect fella, please let me know what you think. :)
I still don't trust Owen Jones. He also showed himself a quisling in my view when he backed the 'chicken coup'.
Why the (crocodile) tears? Stratton's position as COP26 spokesperson was set to wrap up within a month. So she's "resigned" from a position that was already going to cease to exist. yes there is a revolving door between the BBC/national broadcasters and the Tory party. Then again, there is clearly a fast track between publicschool or Cambridge and broadcast media (it's easier to name comedians/pundits who aren't privately educated oxbridgers than those who are).
Somebody needs to make a chart of the financial, social and family connections that exist between this government's senior members with -
1. The press,
2. Donors to the party,
3. Prominent civil servants,
4. Businesses that received contracts or favourable support
It will stink to high heaven!!!
Austin Allegra was underwelming on Newsnight and just read statistics on the Peston show
sorry she got caught
reverse meritocracy
Allegra no Golden Globe no Oscar not even a Global Britain Beaker!
Now we know why she practically disappeared from the public eye, I bet it was because they were sh*tting themselves that that film wasn’t just a rumour 😂😂😂
Great piece but what was not mentioned here was ‘access’. Journalists who strive to do their job are never going to get the access of those that don’t and that access can be very alluring and certainly can make the job easy too.
Crocodile tears from a thoroughly unpleasant person
I danced with a girl who danced with a man who danced with a gorilla who danced with the prince of wales.
Assange (Whistle Blower, Australian) about to be extradited from the UK to USA re: Afganistan. How can an Australian national be held for 11 years in the UK for telling the truth about the UK/USA & the be handed over to the USA. AUKUS is a cause for concern on so many levels.
I thought that was outside no. 10., no that was her HOUSE, enuf said
The Spectorocracy
How much are those burning torches and pitchforks ?
Never her intention 😄
None is about when I’m out
Douglas Ross Scot Con leader is furious.
It's worth a look but put the tea down first.
I did that laughing/spitting out my tea thing.
All this talk about the middle classes private education advantage got me thinking… what about Owen Jones? He has a published professor as a mum. I wonder if that had any bearing on him getting into Oxford?
I would like to see your own claws out and LINKS to your personal statements about Julian Assange - genuinely asking for your personal statements on recent events in court.
Yeah...she didn't resign promptly when she made those comments, she rasigned when she was caught.
12:20 - Ash's smile is absolutely gorgeous.
Isn't allegra a pharmaceutical drug?
Karma for Allegra.
Does Art have to much power in Austria no Art you need him he save you Thomas. He best thing to run Austria is Art.
Thanks for the clarification Owen.
"it's all about who you know, what contacts you have, and the old boy network"... is what a friend told me (just today as it happens) who ran an advertising business based in central london, back in the 70s, through the 80s and the 90s. He's retired now, but there are certain things that don't change.
The Demon has been demonised.
I love Ash's tree.
Nepotism
Will poor allegra; have to claim universal credit now ?
If so, I hope that she can manage the five week wait for the first payment.
Ahhhhhhhh Labour
AH!
I think what we saw was her job interview that went very badly ending her chance of being the top liar for johnson.
Ohhhhhhhhhh omicron
🐊 😭
No 10 Karen.
I believe the door has ceased to be revolving, its simply open now.
Let me out and about
Weeeeeeeee boiii
Let me
Who's deleting my comment?
I'm sorry I can't see your comment so I don't know you commented
Where’s she now, is she still living with her mum on benefits? I was in that situation, but 40yrs later my kids went through university and work and pay their taxes. I wasn’t stigmatised, benefits helped us all. Barb
I'm sick of hearing about that party ,half the country was breaking the rules
Half the country weren't imposing those rules
I like listening to Owen and Ash a great deal...but how judgemental they are. Moral righteousness is repugnant in any context, especially when it comes from those with whom you sympathise. Remember for whom the tumbrils came...a visible symbol of how righteousness consumes it's followers. I believe Owen studied history...how curious that he seems to have learned nothing from his endeavours.
Sometimes, there are people who care more about appearing morally righteous and shaming others than they do about the subjects they are so vociferous about.
Maybe Ash and Owen aren't really morally righteous, but sometimes their tone sounds it.
@@scooble Yes, I agree. It's a kind of moral ' white noise'.
Maybe we need more righteousness when we are faced with a morally repugnant government and hangers on.
Our government truly is morally repugnant.
I get it, and its really easy to understand why some resort to moral righteousness.
Yeah, sure, I feel no sympathy when they are hoisted by their own petard.
However, I feel also feel deep sorrow when I realise that society has sunk this low and the last thing I feel is conceited joy seeing someone else suffer, even if they have brought it apon themselves.
This kind of crowing only widens the already accelerating divide and contributes to even greater polarisation.
Not feeling sympathy does not equate to feeling deep joy when witnessing someone elses misery.
@@scooble I agree. But I wonder if it's possible to achieve the old consensus, or we are now in a different kind of politics, one which emphasises differences. This may not be a bad thing btw! Perhaps the ' culture wars' are a positive thing, forcing us to rethink our values?
