Stratton can't understand why Mummy and Daddy couldn't buy this young lady a 5 bedroom townhouse in Knightsbridge.
she is super cute ! Love her
I can't imagine she would ever have considered living in a two bedroom flat with her mother and a small child, I doubt she remembers what it's like to share a flat at all.....if she ever did. I wonder if the loss of her job will result in her having to sell her massive London town house.
@@powderandpaint14 I doubt it,her hubby is editor of the spectator,another made up high paid job awaits her
I have ZERO sympathy for someone who is clearly a pernicious little snob. She'll fail upwards no doubt.
In the same caste as rees mugg
@@georgec7899 he just wears his dads old suits to look cool don’t you know!
There is simply not enough use of the word "pernicious" these days. Bravo! 👏👏👏
The tears were for herself, being found out for what she is.
Public shaming
Can't help wondering what that young single mum is thinking now. Between the two of these women, I'd vote tops for the young single mum.
While others got their faces shaded. Want to see their faces too.🤣😝
You read my mind and commented my thoughts. Don't forget she literally says that she is proud of her record at number 10...
@@elizabethbrown8833 same here,jpj
The fact that she can afford to simply resign without another job in place and will not risk loosing her home or have to sigh on in order to survive shows how out of touch our revolting’leaders’ are
She’s minted, the tears are for how much money she’ll be paid for this staged show
Excellent point. If that poor girl loses her job she’ll lose her home and her (probable) Tory landlord will get in someone else and they’ll get benefits too because housing benefit benefits landlords not tenants. If they really wanted people off benefits the6 would build more affordable housing but most building contractors/landlords are massive Tory donors or supporters.
@@debb6393 a- to the -men!!!!!!
@@debb6393 absolutely..
a lucrative deal between gov (using public money) and investors..
And use poor people as pawns.. then the bullying urge in some of the public is to blame someone below them and not the culprit.
And yet that discrimination towards fellow citizens.. it's never been any different.. it's a failure in society in general..
Will she be investigating the party at nr 10?
Anyone who does not think the Class War is alive and kicking is delusional.
the term class war originally meant the systemic violence inflicted on the working classes by the bourgeoisie and not the working classes fighting back, so yes, it never went away
I agree 😊
They only call it class war when you fight back
As long as people are described as lower class, middle class or upper class, there will be a class struggle. We have defined our society around the idea
@@randomname3109 Don't be silly.
The scandal was that here was a woman working full-time and unable to live on her salary without state support, not that she was a single mother receiving benefits.
Aka our taxes are being used to directly subsidise massive corporations so that they can increase their profits. Then the millionaire CEOs and shareholders “donate” to individuals in government. It’s all an obvious racket to siphon and embezzle as much for themselves from everyone else, and they don’t even have to hide it or their contempt because the masses are too busy being whipped into hating those on benefits by state-sponsored capital-bought media.
well said
The scandal was the BBC editing the story to make it appear different.Would even trust the news on BBC.
Spot on!
@Dean F. Independent school, Latymer Upper School and Cambridge University, both indirectly funded by the taxpayer.
Oscar for crocodile tears. Crying she’s out of the Tory money loop.
Not entirely out of the money loop - her husband is the editor of The Spectator and is paid a fortune.
For six months. She'll get a good pay off for taking the fall.
She’s already Rich, her husband is a top editor
Her tears were fake, she’s only sorry she got caught. That is all.
I want to see her severance package. Bound to have a few zeroes on the right of it.
No more lolly for Allegra and Johnson should take responsibiity for his choices and RESIGN.
She’s an awful specimen of a human being, but a perfect example of Tory thinking 🤔.
Shes even admitted voting both labour and Lib dem in the past though she wasn't always a Tory supporter.
She's a m a r x I s t...imo.
@@misiasert1348 Indeed, Prior worked for the Guardian, BBC and ITV. Not sure what he meant by "in his house" - no. 10 is a big building - that is a place of work. He cannot watch over all back street minions all the time.
The interview with that young mother was absolutely disgusting and Stratton tried so hard to misrepresent and trip her up. This was a time when people on benefits were being scapegoated and stereotyped very very heavily by the tories and Stratton seemed to get a thrill out of sticking the boot in. Now she has been scapegoated and rub it up her. But I imagine once the dust settles and us plebs are distracted, she'll smooze her way into something else. Bad pennies always turn up.
What are people on benefits if not tories with their snouts in the public trough . They never seem to remember that the money is not theirs but belongs to the population and they are elected to oversee the distribution of it and not pocket it .But tories will tory.
What goes around comes around and then back again. This is what happens when you're coated in a layer of slime.
There is ONE person who MUST GO, other than Brandon. Resign BoJo, you are PAST your best by date and are no longer useful to man nor beast.
@@jfurl5900 exactly she’s getting 100k of our money! Didn’t Dorries give her daughter a 15k pay rise out of our money too? Some people are having to cope on 15K per year. All of this poverty and benefits have been created by them, building of affordable housing doesn’t suit them because most of their voters are landlords too? Housing benefit is really helping your average Tory landlord not the actual person who is getting it, we look at everything the wrong way. If they weren’t charging so much, if housing was affordable we wouldn’t need it.
You know who gets housing benefit and the dole for their whole lives? Even her children and grandchildren? The Queen and her parasite family.
“I tried to do right by you all.” That stinks of narcissistic personality. 🤥😱
No 10 is not Boris's home his home is a flat in No 11
Bless Ms Thorpe! She handled herself with genuine grace and dignity in the face of Stratton’s attacks.
Absolutely! I thought she was extremely polite in the face of that attack from gross Stratton. I have no sympathy for this unpleasant media manipulator. As someone on housing benefit myself, I hope she finds out what it's like but her husband and his dodgy mates will no doubt keep her safe!
Amazing how she handled it, considering how awful Stratton treated her. Stratton does not deserve the title journalist. She lacks every integrity that the role should hold.
@@MrSiwat All the best to you!
See how Cameron's Tories got caught out because they did'nt close their curtain when they were partying at no 10 and everyone else was in lock down. Cameron use to have a thing about people's curtains still closed at 9am when he was PM.
very true
Stratton is one of many. One of many in Westminster.
This is the real reason Jeremy Corbyn was stopped from being PM. He would never of allowed such people to move up in government.
Dark Magician. Exactly.
Thick Of It - in real life.
Fascist. Not down to Corbyn to allow. We live in a Democracy not China!
After seeing this interview by Allegra, I can see how she got her last role with Bozo. I am only surprised that she was not promoted to the Home Office, in charge of tipping refugees out of dinghies
if that was the case marcus she would get a lot of peoples sympathy for doing a stella job!!
Bozo who himself set alight a fifty pound note in front of a homeless person
No he’s using “woman of colour” (I use that term loosely), Priti Patel for that so that the Tory government can look a little less bigoted on the world stage.
Tipping people out of dinghies they could probably do a better job of * as they're not really turning anyone back, just LYING about it, funny how more & more of them are coming while these LIARS are in charge. It's almost as if someone's been LYING to them about having a better life here (just forget the bit about, oh I dunno, you'll probably die getting here but hey, you was gonna die there, so ummm)
* no they're not allowed to actually tip them out lol they want expendable volunteers to wade out there & do it for them
And people think women in politics make the world a better place 😂
This woman is disgusting! She doesn't know anyone's situation! Did the girl have the same benefits and privilege that this inhumane woman has!? Just shows how the playing field is! The girl is lovely, handled herself well 😊
The old "don't have kids if you can't afford them" line fails to take into accunt that circumstances change. People become unemployed, take on jobs that pay less, suffer industrial injuries or have accidents. I had no sympathy for Stratton when she was blubbing on her doorstep. Watching the interview with the young mother from Tower Hamlets I have even less.
I guess she thinks that hostile interrogation and verbal assault on the single mom was her acting civil. Now I think about it her taking light of lockdown breaches in 10 Downing Street was probably civil in nature. We can all rest easy, this woman who's lived a life of nepotism yet can't see the Hypocrisy of criticising a working class single mom for receiving much needed yet insufficient state assistance, must have a very different perception of civility. Let's remember these are the faces of our country
i like this pathetic tory had all the correct info new what her position was new she was employed .then went to imply the single mum was a doll doser to the rest of us not knowing either way.sure showed what her future roles was for the tory party.
‘These are the faeces of our country’ - fixed that for you.
Wonder who paid for the wine n cheese party The State? 🤔
"These are the faces of our country", yet you wrote "mom" instead of "mum" twice? It's "mum", here.
@@elizabethbrown8833 It'll have been written off as an "expense" and covered by the tax payer, like everything else for these parasites.
The lady being interviewed MUST be given an exclusive 1 hour live interview of Allegra, questioning her immoral grotesque behaviours on tax payers money .
Oh yes!
Brilliant idea!
She’s called Allegra ffs, what do we expect! She’ll be fine though, don’t worry. I’m sure Cressida and Phaedra are on hand to console her dear sensitive soul. Couple of bottles of Prosecco and a line or two of Tory grade beak and she’ll be back in the game.
🤣 you got that right Stephen Faherty.. wonder how many compact mirrors will be given as a secret Santa 🎅
@Roger Padac69 😂😂😂😂
Hahahahahahaahh
@Roger Padac69 are you really frankie boyle ?
@@susannaimi5337 Brother's name is probably Tarquin.
Her sniffling is truly pathetic. She says 'my remarks may seem to make light of the rules.....that was never my intention'. Shame, in amongst all that sniffling, she wasn't able to say what her intention actually was. Of course, she is lying, as that is exactly what her intentions were.
Sorry she got caught, not sorry she acted like a callous smirking toff. She’ll move on to a highly paid job with the right wing media
👏👏👏👏
GBnews awaits.
Attacking a single mum for being on housing benefit when MPs probably get more in subsidies each day for food and drink plus all their dodgy tax havens that whilst legal certainly aren't moral. Think perhaps people choose to be an MP as a lifestyle choice. Biggest scroungers going.
The tears were for regret in getting caught not in her actions. Hopefully more heads will role not just hers from this miserable government
Absolutely . Why is it that a year after the event she suddenly regrets her words .... because the entire country has now heard them ..that's it , that's all .
the electorate are to blame for voting the prats into office
Alas they are like the skins on an onion. They don't care they just sit back in comfort, counting their ill gotten wedges of cash while the next candidate tries to outdo them in fcuking up the country for decades to come.
Seriously though, when is a popular uprising going to happen? We don't have a democracy any more and are dictated to by a bunch of toffs who clearly detest us. Something needs to change, we've had this woeful bunch in charge for 11 years and there doesn't seem to be anyone else to vote for instead. I'd say the conditions are there for us to do something about the situation.
Hopefully Bojo and his tribe
The tearful sniffs you hear, caring Allegra shed, they would have been written into her speech. Allegra is a sharp, alert purveyor of the black art of political “communications”.
Notice her near sobbing tears are actually dry tears. Despite appearances she is no “little girl lost” certainly no victim.
She will keep a low profile for a few months, then, as she is “one of them” through her upbringing, her contacts, her little black book of who’s who? She will be soon be pouring the proceeds of a lucrative, high powered salary into her undoubted, off-shore accounts soon enough.
At least we now know the sort of person she is, she won’t be invited to any reputable dinner parties any time soon, for sure!
I expect if it still exists, then GB News will encourage her to join them in their antiChrist news channel. She will enjoy being Satan’s little helper. Watch this space, it’s only a matter of time. 🙈🙊🙉😉
The GB News Crew do look like a Halloween Hangover, a lot of questionable actors and actresses for sure …
If you skip from the start of the video at the beginning of the clip its
"Sniff"
10 seconds
"Sniff"
Its the fake apology version of "pause for laughs"
@@jamesculverhouse4657 it’s scripted James, the “pause for laughs” is the pause for the viewer to let what they’ve heard sink-in. A pause designed to generate maximum sympathy for dear Allegra, with an opportunity to well-up with not-so-dry tears.
Professional political spokespersons truly are masters of a black art. Allegra does her Tory crowd justice. 😂😉👍☹️🙄
Well 2yrs have passed and alegra Stratton hasn't joined the honest and truthful gb news, your comment didn't age well.
Allegra was vile in that interview 😡
When people show you what they are, believe them.
"I tried to do right by you all." - What someone says when they realise their tory mates were using you as a meat shield.
This disgusting presentation of poverty as 'making the wrong choice' appals me. Does Stratton imagine that people simply make the wrong choice between a mansion, such as she lives in, or a bedroom in their parent's council flat?
Arrogance pur
Well her choices have led her to where she is now...
Jobless and unemployable.
@@anon.4840 Hopefully
These idiots always look at things in a two or even one-dimensional way. Relentless bad luck isn't something anyone would ever choose. We should all just stop giving confrontational/sensationalist media people the air that they so desperately crave, then let's see them try and forge a career poking fun at others' misfortune.
How can one talk about the standards people have come to expect from Parliament when everyone can see how Boris behaves?
Interviewing that single mum was... tough to listen to.
The lass couldn't express herself because she was TRYING to represent herself well, rather than being authentic (which would have likely been received badly by a conservative audience)
The idea that a working person should remain at their parents home is ridiculous. You don't know their home life and EVEN with good, loving parents... it's not a choice everyone can live with. I'd STILL live at home if my father were alive, he was my best friend and I loved being around people I could hug and kiss every day. But this girl has a kid and you're asking that she share a room with her child AND bring that child into her mum's small home. That's not fair on any level. Hell, if lockdown proved anything it's that people feeling "forced" to live together and not have a way of leaving is a recipe for higher rates of violence. I'm sure "family arguments" rose just as much.
I really wish these scumbags would develop any sense of empathy at all.
Empathy is completely impossible because these silver spooned buffoons are completely out of touch with the daily struggles people have. Allegra Stratton doesn't look like she's ever been concerned she couldn't pay for her housing one month
A friend of mine did live with her mum when her kids were younger. In a lot of cultures it's the norm. That doesn't mean everyone is a able to do it. Allegra Stratton had to apologise to that poor woman for that disgraceful interview.
@@LilySaintSin
Indeed.
That's the point though.
I PERSONALLY think that living in larger families is preferable and would absolutely choose that if I could (I've lived alone for the last 5 years. I like my own company, but it's not good for me)
The fact we've all fractured into isolated family units is a bad thing........ BUT it SHOULD be a personal choice accessible to all, not something dictated by economic fortune.
As Freddie describes: council flats are NOT large, and a spare room for a mother and child is not good. It's manageable, but I don't want to live in a world where we expect people to just "manage"
I want to live in a society that cares and ensures everyone has a bare minimum of dignity.
@@DmGray Exactly this! We are a society could stand to be more collective. Toxic individualism clearly hasn't got us anywhere. Humans worked best when we're interdependent.
@@LilySaintSin - True, that's just the way The Conservatives would love it to be here, culturally speaking!
Carefully coached on her performance. Deliberate;y appearing without makeup and looking like she’d just got out of bed. How professional. Deplorable woman doesn’t know what decency is. And the damned cheek of that atrocious interview-pr rather vicious attack-on the young woman living with her child. Living in the lap of untold luxury doesn’t put you in a position to judge , you foul woman.
It's such a shame she won't need to claim universal credit. That would have been sweet, sanctioned for quitting her job.
Rachel Fay
Now that would upset her.
Universal punishment, not universal credit.
A young working mother gets access to a home for herself and her child and she is questioned about it on television and she doesn't shed a tear. She does so without a group of PR experts to prepare her for the tough questions and she answers as honestly as possible knowing she has no say over the editing process that will follow.
On the other hand there is a working mother who has the benefit of a £2.5 million studio and a team of PR experts with which to prepare for questions she can either accept or reject. And she's had nearly a year to prepare for the questions that may arise, and only arise if the recording is made public.
One of them has gotten, and is getting, a lot more public money, from TV licence payers and tax payers, than the other one.
Standard Tory behaviour, me me me, the privileged exploiting the working class!

@@buddha1736 yawn 🥱
Just don't forget this is how they always talk about us and treat us all the time it's not just this
I don’t understand how we always settle for having a single head roll, when there’s more than enough shared responsibility and blame to justify a whole slew of them.
Absolutely, we need a scythe not a guillotine
at least casandra dick need to be arrested and charged with a cover up .we cant have her setting riot cops on a virgil over her very one policemen charged with rape and murder due to covid restrictions yet let this party go ahead can we.trying to con the public by saying no complaint was made by a crime done in front of her police on duty can we?
The Tories need to be removed, not Johnson; Johnson is so destructive, he'll bring down the whole party, given sufficient time.
@@EMidMSO they're like the skin on an onion, or in BoJo's case a moulting dog.
Those were not crocodile tears. They were crocodile sniffs and blinks. She might have done a few drama courses which taught her, for example, that your voice goes up when you cry, but she forgot one or two important things like having to take deep breaths and actually producing tears. Bad decision not to use props. Who goes out to make a speech knowing you are tearful without a handkerchief or tissue? That mistake made, she should have then used her sleeve to wipe her nose. Only 4/10 from me, I'm afraid. I wish we could see the video clips of her practising in her drawing room. Don't be taken in. Stratton is as hard as nails.
Straight from, ‘The Thick Of It”
Can't beat garbage that throws itself out...
She was probably pushed.
Thank you! All this “poor girl” stuff…she isn’t haunted all her life, she said them a year ago and is more angry she got caught. She also didn’t resign. Her contract for her cop26 role ends today…so she left two days early!
I’m glad you mentioned this as a lot of journalists have missed this point. She was also so awful at her job as a communications specialist that she was moved on to the cop26 role. She was just as dreadful and clearly unqualified for the role as she made comments saying ‘diesel cars suit her lifestyle best’ and ‘washing your plates before they go in the dishwasher is good for the environment’ she is an unqualified moron with little to no talent or aptitude for the roles handed to her by her connections.
Carries BFF
This is absolute bullying. This young woman did the right thing, keeping her baby, being a responsible parent, putting her child first. She was then deliberately targeted by this awful person. If this young woman was paid a living wage..... but that's not going to happen.
What always surprises me is surprise! Would anyone really expect anything other than arrogance and lies from Boris and his cronies?
She has history of not being a nice person.
She is anti poor people.
@@bigpants6121 I have a anti poor.....no wait ✋🏼 I mean a poor auntie 🤣
@@Tom_Prendiville How we laughed! So funny!
Interesting that Allegra didn't say "Yes, there WAS a party. In fact, several." But then she would never get another job with a Tory employer. She stayed true to her class. Pity.
I'm sipping a cup of Tory tears... they're simply 🤌🏼
I'm told that I'm a tory but I don't vote so does that just make me a person
ready to resgn thank goodness!
It takes a certain kind of person to cope with working for Johnson. Elitist, sociopathic for starters, and without conscience when whitewashing his incompetence. Yet again the serial offender remains unpunished and continues to mislead parliament with impunity.
My father used to say that the eleventh commandment is “thou shall not get found out”.
Rise: yes
fall: no
just a minor episode in a Tory's career.
The Government has let us down by
1,Dominic Cummings driving to Barnard Castle
2,Mat Hancock having an Affair with Gina Coladangelo his advisor
3, the Conservative party had a Christmas party while all the country was on lockdown.
What a disgrace
Is anyone else slightly unsettled by the press cynically seizing on this moment? It goes without saying, the government should have obeyed the rules like we all had to. But, ask yourselves why the video's only just been leaked now, who leaked it, and what axe they had to grind. Whilst I have little sympathy for Stratton's politics, I do think she - and not the voices behind the camera - was conveniently thrown under the bus. I'm interested in who those other voices in the room were.
The moralising from the gutter press on this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Given, how they are directly responsible for us having 10+ years of a Tory government. It's the likes of Piers Morgan being perceived as a "hero" for laying into the Tories, when we know full well, he helped build our society into the form it takes now. That's what stinks.
Wait to see the guest list from the parties!
The old saying what goes around comes around.
'Boris Johnson - the man too blonde for the Third Reich' - Sean Lock
He idolises Churchill apparently,he's a likable plonker our Boris.
What's her problem with having kids a house and a car? Everyone should have the same opportunities in life.
They've been working steadily over decades (centuries even?) on preventing working people from enjoying the fruits of their own labour, something the middle classes fail to understand, as the middle classes look up to the ruling class the ruling class looks DOWN upon them, just like they look down on anyone who isn't a privileged so-called 'ruling class'.
Guys, let's be respectful. She isn't acting, she's genuinely upset. Imagine finding out your actions have consequences like a common pleb. Rules are totally unbefitting for a Tory.
I'll put money allegra's next job will be on gbnews... she certainly shares their idea of "journalism"
We just don’t get the best people in government we get chums of mates. Imagine Boris 1st job as a journalists was the Times. Most journalists start at small local papers but the waves just part for these people. Most worrying after all their education they don’t seem that bright.
So basically Stratton wanted to find a poor person to clobber over the head, because after all, if you're a Tory then the poor are just scroungers. The only thing that did make me chuckle was her inviting Ed Milliband to her wedding reception, full of Spectator writers and other right wingers. Then leaving him off the seating plan 🤣.
😭 “I will regret those remarks” until I take up my post as a highly paid corporate lobbyist!
We all make mistakes. But demanding that hard working people on low wages forgo children while she gets a well paid job because of her husband's connections indicates not just poor character, but an incredible snobbery towards ordinary folk.
What the tears are really for is she 'regrets' trusting everyone not to leak the footage
Allegra is saying why was I such a fool as to trust these Conservative sharks?
Thanks NM for the background. My initial reaction was to feel sorry for her as she seemed genuinely remorseful. The interview you showed obviously had an agenda rather than being reporting - BBC does it again.
As for her future career prospects; I'm sure there is a warm chair waiting for her at GB News, so I wouldn't worry too much
i am not sure,but maybe a warm chair in Hell is also waiting for her.
Old saying if you can fake sincerity **************
No need to feel sorry for Allegra Stratton. She was in her last days of her role as she was leaving by the end of December. Quitting wasn't really a sacrifice.
I didn't know she was leaving anyway. That's interesting. Cheers for that bit of info
@@lionelhinge573 you just lapped up information that you don't know is true but fits your narrative........
I had very little sympathy with her after her resignation. Now I see she’s a bully too. I was once a young and single parent, living with my mother, who was a violent and aggressive person. One day, as I sat with my 3 month old son on my lap, she screamed with rage at me for not having her dinner ready. My baby hadn’t been too well that day; cranky, miserable and downright hard work. It was a rare day, as he was a fabulous baby. Evidently she didn’t like the look on my face, so helpfully threatened to slap it off. I was 22. I was lucky…my future mother in law reacted with horror to this threat of violence (it barely elicited a response from me, as it was the status quo throughout my entire childhood). I was whisked away to a place of safety, together with my baby son. How dare anyone question the choices another parent makes. We don’t all live in Notting Hill or Camden, with careers and nannies. I dragged myself out of my difficult childhood life and young adulthood, spending many years studying. I qualified as a History teacher in 1998, until Multiple Sclerosis forced retirement upon me in 2014. This woman doesn’t deserve a moment of compassion, but at least she might now learn that a perfect life isn’t handed to everyone on a silver platter. Most of us are doing the best we can, with the hand we’ve been dealt, rather than with the silver spoon we are born with! When will these people recognise that their privilege is their birthright, which makes them no better than the people they are supposed to serve! You’re born and that’s the hand you’re dealt. Instead of looking down upon the rest of us, develop a little compassion, please! You might even find you get some back!
Allegra Stratton is a very heartless human, it sounds to me she should have resigned a long time ago
‘Civility, decency and high standards’. Say no more
If all the liars would resign, who would run the governments right now ?
Crocodile tears, evr1 would have a lot more respect for this ‘apology’ if she came clean about the party no one rlly cares about the jokes what we care about is if it happened but she doesn’t even talk about it. What a disgrace
Boris is hoping he can hide behind her resignation and dodge his.
High standards you expect of number 10??!! Allegra, that ship sailed two years ago when Johnson became the resident. There are no high standards in Downing Street these days.
Allegra Stratton falsely representing an issue??? Come on!!! Allegra Stratton lying on air while disingenuously putting someone down??? Come on!!! That's HER SPECIALITY!!!
Crying during her public resignation? Totally false, totally staged. She should be permanently barred from holding ANY publicly funded position including public representation.
I love the bit where someone asks "Is this recorded?"
Gosh, and this is the quality of the PM’s spokespersons. Incredible.
this is exactly what I expect from the government is anyone really shocked ?
I think Allegra was totally right. Why should taxpayers pay for this girl to have a flat.
This is like when Dick Cheney shot that dude in the face, and got him to apologize.
Truth to power as always.
Outstanding presentation.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✊
🤔 There is an excellent UA-cam channel by the name ‘Truth to Power’. Highly recommended.
Here in the US the same people complaining about "Welfare Moms" are the same people who want to stop abortion and even birth control. I don't know if that is the same situation in the UK. But Stratton's attitude toward that young mother was horrific regardless. By the way, I wonder if Stratton would tell the young mother that morally she would be required to live with an abusive husband or boyfriend until she can afford to move herself and her child out.
The situation in the UK is not as extreme as it is in the USA yet but the UK is doing its' best to catch up. I mean as far as the anti abortion/birth control issue is concerned. As for anti human rights and anti democracy, the UK can hold its' head high, they will soon be up to the USA level.
@@johnryan7932 well, at least you can protest in the USA without Priti Fascist’s permission, so I guess they still have that going for them (if not much else).
Thanks for putting this out
she only had a month to go in that job right?
this was just an act, with vacation time she would probably be gone by now anyway.
True, but someone in the Johnson administration genuinely "taking responsibility for their actions" was always going to be a bit of stretch. I'm sure Ms Stratton is going to milk this act of "self-sacrifice" for all it is worth. In true Johnsonian style, her "fall" is likely to be one in an upward direction.
Fake tears indeed.
With her holiday entitlements it is rumoured that she was in the last week of employment and possibly even the last couple of days.
I do agree with her comment about having kids when you can afford them. I can only afford to have one child and I'd love to have maybe 2 or 3, but I don't look to other people to pay my way.
If there was such a things karma, she'd end up in a flat on a deprived council estate living on benefits.
She wouldn't survive. None of them could, for the simple reason that it takes knowledge of one's surroundings to survive and they're wilfully ignorant of the lives of the 'lower orders'.
Their arrogance makes them think, "How hard can it be?", yet whenever some fool politician goes on a 'Oh, I could live on benefits no problems' roll you know it will end in hastily hushed up embarrassment.
These people need their nepotism, they need their privilege and they need their supportive and wealthy 'social networks'.
Like all parasites, without a host, they're doomed.
@@PortilloMoment Maybe we need some kind of Tory pest control.
Thank you for this exposure. Wish all media hit it like this in a fair way.
I'd love to see that single mum again today. Is so true that she actually following the rules, not stealing or doing other things to pay her rent.
Karma will get back at you in ways that you will live to believe it.
Great reporting as usual guys
She's not a scapegoat, Stratton is a typical self entitled woman from a wealthy and privileged background. A woman who has got jobs via connections not talent. Her tears were of self pity and not genuine remorse. Doubtless Stratton will get another well paid job, it is evident in this day and age that corrupt people are rewarded, and none more so than in politics. She and the others involved in these parties should be prosecuted as members of the public would be. Goes to show how our police are now a tool of the govt and kowtow to them. Corruption is wholesale in authorities and covid has enabled the furtherance of this by scaring the public into submission, something pre-millenial generation would've baulked against. Thank god we had a ballsier calibre of people through two world wars and right through to the 1980s, now, many are lemmings ready to follow and leap off the edge when told. We are moving to a dystopian society governed by the rich. We are moving back in history and losing our freedoms, our democracy and letting dictatorship creep in.
What can one say? Real justice would be finding herself unable to work as a journalist and forced to work full time as a single mother for Lewisham Council and claiming Housing Benefit in order to live in London?
She left out the line, "And thank you to the civil servant who wrote my thoughts."
By the way, I think Dom is a business consultant now. He's quite an academic when it comes to studying the ways to successfully manage corporations. Stratton's expertise lies in archaeology and anthropology.
Never heard of this woman, I hope I never never of her again, what a peace of work
the worst part of that clip of her getting asked about that party is when she asks, "what's the answer?"
the only reason she is comfortable enough to ask that is because she is speaking to friends that might actually give her the answer. in other words.... not journalists
The other night, I watched your excellent video about Stratton from October last year. Excellent journalism. Well done.
The tears were shed to gain sympathy. She could have composed herself before coming out of her house to greet the press. She presented the face she wanted the public to see. As for the clip bullying the single mother - who was in full time employment - it is beyond belief.
I don't know if Stratton is independently wealthy, but if she isn't and NEEDS a salaried job to survive, then I find the thought of her having a problem getting one and having to apply for universal credit extremely satisfying.
A classic case of entitlement. Look at the multi million pound house she's standing outside of & compare that to the high rise flat which she believes a working person doesn't deserve.
She is a product of the loathsome establishment & deserves not one iota of sympathy.
She is not the one to blame and if anything, she is obviously honorable and decent. Johnson is the liar who should go.
Let's just check in on her regularly to make sure she doesn't sign up to any of those benefits people apparently don't need...
She's right to remind us that single-mum status is not a human right, and to say Don't breed what you can't feed.
The woman being interviewed in the clip are what we call in Ireland the "squeezed middle". Working full time jobs and yet unable to pay for decent accommodation. Families are now coming in different forms. And society and governments need to prepare for that! However re. the real crux of the matter, the venal and mercenary attitude of Stratton is breathtaking. It's easy to cry crocodile tears when your job was essentially gone anyway. She was due to finish in 4 weeks. Wonder will she be having "leaving drinks"?
People who voted for Borris deserve this!!!!
She'll also be fine with her career, don't worry about that. It's the old case of, take one for the team, sit tight for a bit, and we'll sort you with a plum job out of the media spotlight later down the line.
Allegra Stratton just confessed to what always goes on at No.10. I have no doubt the PM knew about these parties, not socially distance, etc. After all, he lives there. Maybe in the future it will be her who is interviewed on TV, once she finds out that she's unemployable, about why she is collecting Section 8 housing assistance (what it's called here in the U.S. I'm not sure of the British program.) and why she doesn't consider moving in with her mum, instead of collecting government assistance. What comes around goes around.
She fits in well with Patel and Dorres, similar levels of moral fiber or lack of.
Brilliant summing up ..!
I agree with others here, I suspect those tears were more of anger and spite, at being forced out of her privilege position, and possible out of the elitist industry (big media) she has risen to the top of, and maybe of feelings of betrayal by those to whom she was beholding. But most probably just shock, that she was having to give all that up, over something she thought was insignificant. She is a cautionary tale to many others who are in the media spotlight.
Should have Boris Johnson apologising Infront of the media.
