Lord Jones later responded that Scott should not play the "working class card" as she was "worthy of much better".And yet millions of working class Brits across the country manage to not sound like infants like football pundits seem to.
It’s nowt to do with, sorry, wivv, social class… it’s to do with not developing language after being an infant through, sorry, ffrough, laziness.
There’s nothing wrong with colloquialisms and local accents, but not being able to say words without sounding like an infant is something I really dislike about too many people in this country, especially football pundits.
He added: "I admire & often publicly praise the adversity you faced & defeated to achieve all the success you deserve.
"Not sounding a g at the end of a word is wrong; period. It's not a question of class, it's not a question of accent, it's a question of poor elocution. Don't let it spoil your otherwise excellent performance."
I could pull Lord Jones up on his use of the Americanism, 'period', when he means full stop but that would mark me out as a tiresome pedant...oh wait.
He's right though.
