Allison Pearson
In an article in the Telegraph, 12 Mar 2014, entitled
Why the Camerons and Cambridges aren't hiring an English nanny Pearson tries to suggests reasons as to why many foreign nannies are being employed instead of British ones. She concludes that British people are lazy and don't know their place. She shows quite shocking racism and snobbery and I thought it would be the beginning of a thread that is aimed at highlighting just what the top income bracket think of their fellow human beings.
Here are a few choice snippets of her description of the unfortunate girl (Hayley) that she employed as her nanny
Hayley was the Bob Crow of nannies. In her view, washing up her employer’s coffee mug would have been a grievous breach of her job description, and quite possibly her human rights.
Bob Crow only just died the other day
Himself was delighted to see the back of Hayley, whom he compared unfavourably with Mrs Ceausescu,
nice
and then she goes on to explain why foreign and undoubtedly cheaper labour was preferable:
“God, I would never employ a British girl. Too much like hard work,” sniffed a Sloaney friend who went to the same school as Samantha Cameron and the Duchess of Cambridge. Instead, she had a Filipina nanny who was unbelievably loving with the children and glided about the house as though on castors. The Filipina knew she was staff and my friend was her boss. The boundaries were clear. There was no faux matiness.
Indeed, the nanny did not expect friendliness and remained largely unseen and unheard.
It would simply not occur to Filipina nannies to leave a toast plate festering in the sink all day because it had been used by an adult not a child. Unlike Hayley, they are not burdened with that marvellous sense of entitlement that has made so many of our young people what they are today: obnoxious and unemployable.
Except she employed her as a nanny and not a maid.
No wonder Doug Stanhope called Pearson a cunt.
