More fibs from Rachel? 12:43 - Feb 18 with 2965 viewsAnotherJohn

After the CV questions. there is now a bit of a flap about Rachel Reeves' "Who's Who" entry. Following a Times investigation it seems that this repeats the incorrect information about the length of time she worked at the Bank of England, and also contains a misleading claim to a prestigious journal publication. This is perhaps not the greatest of sins, but would have been considered very naughty if she had been applying for an academic post.

She got the nickname because of her performance in her current job, not because of her gender.

It's her name and her job, I'd say Kamikwarsi was more derogatory. Then there's Jeremy C....definitely worse.

Boris had some people call him all sorts of names, Gwyn didn't seem to be offended then.

Because it was true, even aligned Conservatives would tell you as much.

It was true. And everything that has been said about Reeves appears to be too.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Which ones?

I could well be wrong but I genuinely can’t recall one that’s comparable to Reeves’.

Darling was nicknamed 'Red Ally' after Kinnock allegedly pointed him out as a threat from the left of the party
Rachel from accounts is nothing unusual in the context of previous nicknames unless you are a fully paid up member of the outrage everywhere club.

Strange that the focus is now on a nickname rather than the deceitful and deliberate action carried out by a "honourable " member

Where’s the commonly used nickname in that clip?

Not outraged, just expressing an opinion.

I said originally I’d probably be a lone voice on here.

Yes to a point, but the Rachel from Accounts tag is deliberate and to remind her/others that whatever she achieves in life she will always be just a nobody.

Its a term laced with both misogyny and snobbery.

If Rachel made it her deliberate lifes work she would still not fall to the poor standards of recent Tory failures.

Your first paragraph makes no sense, the nickname has come from her embellishment of her CV, and her budget and other financial decisions have been pretty poor so far

I fail to see how it's misogyny Rachel is her name, and another favourite of yours Liz Truss was christened Lettuce, it's not misogyny it's saying it like it is

You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

Then all I can say is suck it up , and if that offends anyone then they can also suck it up

Which bit of "Rachel from accounts" is lonked to her Gender, race or age?

I'm genuinely puzzled by that.

As I posted earlier in the thread, it’s basically calling her a trumped up secretary, taking a traditionally women’s job and belittling it.

So far a few have tried to give examples of nicknames for men as comparable, but I’ve yet to see one that is.

We will have to agree to disagree, Rachel from accounts could be the manager of the accounts department.

Are you honestly happy with her embellishments and record so far, not to mention her hammering of clothes expenses at the same time as she cancelled the wfa.

I had high hopes for her when she was in opposition, but she's been a massive disappointment already

Which ones of those are based on sex?

As I said, I’ve no issue with Reeves the incompetent/useless etc., it’s the latent sexism I don’t like.

Edit: I’ve thought of one. The Grocer’s Daughter for Thatcher. Not sexist but snobbery. The same in that it puts an unnecessary barrier up.

How is it sexist? It uses her legal first name.

Was "maggie the milk snatcher" sexist? Would you be fine with Iron lady because that is based on sex/gender? What about "that bloody woman"?

Attila the hen...the great she elephant...

How do you feel about "Tony Blur" or "Tony Bliar" and what about Teflon Tony" are those sexist?
