Title should read: People who have far more influence than their intelligence justifies.I was listening to GB News the other day and saw a couple of complete twats. One was called Piers Morgan and the other was called Michelle Dewberry. They annoyed me in that they were bullying and giggling like primary school children at some boy who looked as if he was of the age where ha had just left school, and if you were honest with yourself you would admit you were not a know-it-all at that age. Someone like Piers Morgan has had decades longer to learn this and that about life, but the man seemed to get thicker with age. Yes it was true the chap in question was a member of Just Stop Oil, but there is no reason to be impolite to guests. If you have an argument you don't need to bully him, do you.
There was also Michelle Dewberry who I got the distinct impression was as thick as two short planks. I mean so thick that if you phoned a business and got someone like her on the end of the line you would put the phone down and redial!
It turned out I was correct. Wiki does not give you a great deal of info on biographies, but it is enough to gauge the kind of intellect we speak of here.
But then we find:
This is what I have trouble with. You guys regularly wonder why British industry fails at everything apart from bullshit. This 24 year old ex-cashier is now teaching business!
Let me make it perfectly clear at this point that it was nothing to do with a slow starter who was helped and got to be brilliant. She is just as thick as she always has been. This looks as if it could be positive discrimination in the corporate world of woke (Occam's razor).
And so the story goes on from one success to the next.
As you can see, far far too much influence. We as a country are fucked if we follow this kind of person.

BvL you didn't watch Piers Morgan on GB News, he's on Talk TV. However your attack on Michelle Dewberry is total bullshit, she is not only easy on the eye but she is switched on and entertaining (For anyone who doesn't know who Michelle Dewberry is see below) She presents Dewbs & Co on GB News from 6pm to 7pm on weekdays, I cant imagine why you think she is a 'complete twat'. I think she's very good and quite clearly I'm in good company.

The key to this competence / status inversion is the systematic hobbling of the competent.
The incompetent can't compete and so various measures are put in the place to prevent competence being evident
It seems to be a large scale program coming from government and finance.
This is something I started to notice in the early 2000s
There is also another issue, what i call a 'sideways competence' - ie the ability tell lies, fabricate and confuse, while appearing sincere is a competence (acting), but it only has a small number of productive applications.
We have become a society built on acting rather than production. It will not end well.

I think i have seen this lady in action - she actually struck me as unusually bright for profession - seemed to be able to think for herself.

She seems to have done quite a lot with the limited academic success she had. There are many forms of intelligence and formal schooling does not evaluate them all.good luck to her. Now as for Piers Morgan, where does one start? With his manipulation of hacking into people's private lives? His misleading editing of various far right leaning papers? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piers_MorganHe has a loooong history of illegally obtaining personal communications in the world of A-listers and i suppose if cunning and good lawyers is a sign of intelligence, he might just qualify.

So why is Baron choosing particularly to highlight the stupidity of one of the few media presenters who seems to have an installed brain? It's an odd choice when the number of fitting candidates is so large - a bit like looking for a hay stem in a haystack and accidentally retrieving a needle.

Yes indeed, given the abundance of choice on offer at the BBC I too am surprised BvL has picked on GB News.

Presumably GB News has criticised the dictatorship in China.

I think she's very good and quite clearly I'm in good company. Ah well if Piers Morgan does Talk TV then I've confused him with someone who looks similar. It was some oldish bloke who was on with her. Perhaps you know his name. I confess I know little about the celeb world. I do not own a TV and just get clips from these types. Besides he was not really my subject of interest, but I mention him in passing because he was behaving at the same mental level as this woman.
Now looking at that picture is one of those things where the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" is the thing.
Just try looking at it for a moment and see if you can see what it is saying. For example look at the lips. What do they tell you?
This is a test in lateral thinking. You can try thinking like you normally do and miss it as you have done.
What is going on here is image. She does not make herself look intelligent by the use of complex and subtle arguments that one might hear from say some professor. No, she does it like she is doing above. Keep looking and you will see it. You might imagine she would feel a draft down her chest in cold weather due to the big hole she has in it, but then it dawns on you why the hole in her business clothing is so large.

Yes I tried to make this clear. The quite a lot though is all post-Apprentice appearance. I thought that would be clear too. This s the trick I'm trying to teach you guys - how to read between the lines. She is a bully too. Now we can start to form a different picture to the one GB News is trying to suggest to us. I did a thread a while back on some very influential woman of the same intellectual calibre and her life changed after taking a secretarial job with the US military. Does sleep and generals come to mind! It sure god damn does with me lol.

Because she fucked it up worse than anyone else. GB News has now seen an important advertising client do the walk. You may like to see her response. I can tell you as a businessman that you do not do what she does, like breaking rule number one. She is a supreme fuckwit and you guys have been fooled!

Presumably GB News has criticised the dictatorship in China. Nope. It was interviewing a member of Just Stop Oil. I have the ability to take a disinterested approach to my analysis, for if I did take an interested approach I would not be slagging her off because I would agree with her that Just Stop Oil is a bad thing. At this juncture I would be corrupting my intelligence. In taking a disinterested view I spotted something other than what was being presented. This s the weakness of many Brits. They see what is being presented to them, not the other things one can learn. Indeed this was the problem in electing Johnson. He was a male equivalent of this female. He had you all fooled. He sounded good and promised that he was on your side and was such a decent and reasonable chap that one could never go wrong with such a leader. The mistake: listening to what he was presenting to you. I hope this sinks in.

So your whole issue with her is a matter between her and her employer? This is so limp and ad hoc, it's pathetic
