- Nadine Dorries’ first appearance before a select committee as Culture Secretary yielded a number of eyebrow-raising moments - not least her surprising assertions about the funding of Channel 4.
In her quesitoning by Damian Green, she said the consultation will focus on “how Channel 4 will survive in the future”.
Dorries claimed that “just because it’s in receipt of public money [it doesn’t mean] we should never audit the future of Channel 4”.
When it was pointed out that this was not the case Dorries proceeded to stammer and flounder her response.

She would flounder if asked her own name, would ask the person next to her for clarification, complain the questioner was a mysogynist, then sit back with a self satisfied smirk assuming she was cleverer than all the others. The only reason this apology for a "person" is in the cabinet is to make the Idiot-in-Chief look good. WTF has happened to this country?
Where’s the fridge??
Johnson just ran in there,
The worst part is she still tried to reply like she was in the right.
Imagine being Nadine, prepping these speeches and then realising it's all wrong.
Prepping speeches?!!! She wouldn't know how to.
This is the same gin-riddled moron who said a review found 95% of people were in favour of the full privatisation of Channel 4, despite that review saying 95% were opposed to its privatisation.
This is not the worst part of her performance at this meeting.
This is ridiculous. Why are we putting up with it?
Actually, I own Channel 4 and am very proud to have been responsible for it’s creative output.
I’ve been thinking of Nadine Dorsalfin for some time, (to be the C.O), but have now realised she must be shagging BJ (P.M), and is wasting her natural abilities on RPP (rumpy pumpy peppa) or someone equally dense.
Jesus christ, somebody gave her that job, WTAF 😲
Bozo did
check how red her knees are! that will explain everything!
Even for a Tory, you've got to try pretty hard to be as thick as this one.
It's like trying to have a conversation with the Mrs when she's pissed
She is the one taking public money.
When Tories talk about good value for public money, you know that what follows is bs.
It's a good point that she makes. Taxpayers should be evaluating if the present government, paid for by taxpayers, are providing good value for money... For people OTHER than themselves. The most criminally corrupt, self serving bunch of crooks in government in a lifetime.
She's congenitally stupid. Totally gobsmacked to learn C4 is not publicly funded, and she's Culture Minister. Hasn't the faintest clue what's she's talking about couldn't even be bothered to google it. Demonstrates the contempt for her office, but outweighed by the general contempt she's held in even by fellow Tories.
Good Heavens! She really is clueless.
Let’s just put in the most incompetent people in positions of power, shall we? Let’s see how that works out.
Peppa Pig moment
Isn't it incredible? Pig is such a powerful animal when it comes to taking down those in power - one was dead the other one is fictional...
@@Barabyk And the dead one was only a head - but it was enough... for the previous great leader!
I think she should be allowed to phone a friend if she doesn't know the answer.
Doughnut Dorries is a shame... a populist apology for a proper, decent, intelligent minister of the Crown. Too dim even to take proper briefing - an individual whose skin would make a rhino blush with shame...This present Tory government is a toe-curling embarressment.
Love the way admin tried to dig her out.
There is enough material in Nadine Dorries for a whole season of Harry Enfield scripts.
But she would make Harry seem intelligent. Can't have that.
Nice but real thick...dim
This is frightening, this woman is a government minister yet seems to have no understanding of her brief.
That`s the new Tory way.
This is right up there with then Brexit sec. Dominic Raab "not quite appreciating the importance of the Dover-Calais crossing for UK trade". The incompetency from top to bottom of this and previous Tory govt. is staggering.
How can she not know how a commercial programmes are financed?
This is the type of people the majority of British voters wants leading them. The voters will whine about them but they keep putting and maintaining people like her in the places where they can do the most damage. Most working class working voters would resent her if she was their boss but have no problem in supporting her to help run their government
Stockholm like syndrome
The lesser of two evils in the public's eye, perhaps?
Only the diehard faithful would vote for labour in the recent decade.
They're in a right mess, nowadays and the tories will be the only architects of their own downfall, as Labour just aren't equal to the task.
Things are pretty grim and will only get worse, sadly.
You overstate the Conservatives' success. For the 100 years from January 1918 to January 2018 the prime minister was a Conservative for 58 years, Labour for 33 years, National Labour for 4 years, and Liberal for 5 years (all rounded to the nearest whole year).
@@billyandrew That's the narrative that the Tory controlled media want you to believe.
Starmer isn't my choice but he does have integrity which is more than the Cashservatives have.
It’s just not true that the majority of British people voted for this government, or even that the majority of those who voted voted for this government. That's just not how our electoral system works.
Most of them struggle to understand anything. That's why bojo appoints them. He can't stand the thought of being outsmarted.
She's the posh version of Vicky polard, except she's not a fictional character, she's the culture secretary
Haha! A reminder of Sir Les Patterson. 🍷🚬👍
Well, yes, uh,but,no,uh,but...yeah.
Not posh
She isn't posh, which is partly how she's got so far in politics
She's a working class Tory, the worst kind there is
Talking through her nose doesn't make her posh. Actually her name is nadine bargery. She divorced Mr Dorries when he got Multiple Sclerosis. Nice.
As with Nadine Dorries, and others in the Cabinet, Raab, Patel etc, they are all hugely supportive of Johnson in spite of all the evidence suggesting this is misplaced. I think the reasons for this are simple; they only got the job because they were dependable yes men/women, even they know they are way out of their depth and that without the current PM they are out of a job
when are they going to introduce cardboard cut-outs of MPs in the Commons? Just as effective.
What a useless waste of time tax payer’s money is a paying you
The problem is she's not the worst of them.
Ah she is!
It’s actual insanity that this person is a member of cabinet
And to be in the cabinet she had to become an MP first. So how did that happen?
The face of modern politics and corporation's. Ineptitude and wilful ignorance are the key factors that get these people their positions. Just as long as they're capable of taking order's, giving order's and shrewd enough to shift blame to underling's until it's their time to be the 'Scapegoat'. An actual functioning intellect isn't necessary, a broad vocabulary is a bonus, but also not essential.
How can this person be taken seriously? She has no grasp of the detail ( why am I not surprised)? Another example of someone promoted way way beyond their ability
It’s not really even detail. It’s so obviously wrong it’s funny. I’d hazard a guess my 11 year old daughter knows the BBC is paid by license fee and every other channel isn’t.
Bonkers innit?
This is actually a meltdown of comedy proportions and just about shows the world how dense she is.
Anyone remember when she described Cameron and Osborne as posh boys who wouldn't know the price of of a pint of milk. Well Johnson is cut from the same cloth,but no criticism from her oh no,just remembered Johnson gave her a cabinet job.
That’s not embarrassing at all!
another small minded one. How many are there of them?
This individual is an absolute car crash just about every time she opens her mouth.
How on earth, do such individuals get into parliament never mind get chosen to hold important Ministerial positions and responsibilities.
Shocking.
She is so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence.
She is so incalculablely dense light literally bends around her amazingly dense yet seemingly empty head
Just waiting for Ant & Dec to turn up to present the next challenge to her...
And...so....although it’s.....yeah....erm.....
I'll bet Dorries can name all the bars in the palace of Westminster.
One thing is for certain, there's no way she's good value for money!
The Clueless Culture Secretary.
🤪😂😂😂😂
Understand, the Conservatives are the WORLD'S most successful political party.
For the 100 years between 1918 and 2018, they held power for 82 of those years. The 18 years Labour were in power: the NHS was created, small businesses were encouraged, young parents were supported and a Peace time deal was acheived between Northern Ireland & England with America.
SO why do so many people vote for them
@@JohnSmith-zv8km English people have been brought up to believe that the rich & wealthy and privately educated know better than the masses and that they must be in charge. Top level British politics is full of expensively educated men bred to believe they are the best.
The Conservatives are also right-wing party skilled at lying to the working class through blaming all of England's problems on ethnic minorities and crime that only they can solve by keeping them in power.
The best bit by far was the "Help me!" look and hand gesture she gives to the civil servant next to her when she realises she doesn't have a clue. And just to add to the embarrassment, about 5 seconds after this clip ends, she actually interrupts the civil servant to basically say "I'm new at this job". What a pro!
Dorries must pinch herself each morning to check if she is still in a govt post!
Apparently she is one of those in line to become the next PM. Peppa Pig would be a better successor when the time comes.
I really feel we need protecting from her, I would like her to undergo and evaluation for her health as soon as possible. If we have persons in power that are unfit then surely that is a dangerous.
Are you the captain of the ship? Yes. And could you tell me where the rudder is located? Umm, what is the rudder?
I really, really love this new season of 'Yes, Minister'. Thank God it's all scripted and not... wait, what?
this lady helps decide your future
😭😭😭😭😭
How do these people get into a position of power in our Government? Unbelievable
by being this thick and incompetant, they make johnson look like a genius, and that's the point
I think we have to say that when a minister is publicly funded we should evaluate if she provides any use to the country....
Hopelessly out of her depth. It was cruel to expect anything different
Channel 4 is a public service broadcaster, she isn’t wrong
@@DigitalDaffodil Channel 4 derives its funding from commercial activities, not the taxpayer, she *is* wrong.
@@nkt1 she isn’t wrong at all, watch it again
@@DigitalDaffodil @0:18 "Particularly when it's in receipt of taxpayers' money". Glancing at Channel 4's annual report for 2020, I note that it derived all its revenue from advertising and investments, and generated a surplus of £74 million.
@@nkt1 I mean, any money that anyone receives comes in some way from the taxpayer really
This really does beg the question: just how the *uck did this vacuous non-entity ever get to be a member of any Cabinet? (Sorry! I just remembered; it's a Boris Cabinet of vacuous non-entities.)
I don’t know if the look on Damian Greens face was shock or disgust, but either way he let this horrible Johnson sycophant off too lightly, at the level and position she is in there should be no quarter given for such unbelievable ignorance!
The best part was when she implied that the only reason anyone would disagree with her is because they must be sexist.
And that sits on the front bench.
She hadn't even the decency to blush when it was pointed out to her how completely wrong she was.
Shocking. Really unbelievable.
Never interrupt your enemy when they are mistakes….😇
and I thought that Italian politicians were the worst ... this is becoming surreal.
she's only in her job because channel 4 is the one media organisation she hasn't sent abusive tweets to. As others have said, people keep voting for idiots like this. It really saddens me and this is now borderline despair. Why is someone with far less of a clue than me in charge of the culture I love in this country? I wouldn't have gone for the job if i was so completely unsuitable, unless complete loyalty to BJ is the only requirement.....
Looking at her, you might mistake her for a human being.
I swear when she was informed that she was going to be culture secretary she probably spent time researching yoghurt!
Good grief !
Its the torys, seriously having experienced previous tory governments in the 80s and 90s i could of told you what they aee like
Usually when someone is drowning, a lifeline is thrown to assist. Damien Green just tossed her a pork pie instead. Oh well.
"Yes but no but yeah"
Don't laugh we are paying her salary and it's a lot more than we earn !!!!!!!!!!
I’m not an MP, don’t work in the media and even I know Channel 4 is a commercial channel…..there’s no hope.
It’s the long moral sermon she gives before being embarrassingly shot down. What a troll.
Oh dear. Not really an ideal culture secretary!
Oh it’s dangerous ,stringing more than five words together in a sentence.
Wasn't she on channel 4s I'm a celebrity get me out of here. 🙈
Actually, she was a very successful contender as I recall. She was first out.
And paid for being an mp while paid for being 1000s on miles away by a TV company
Am I bovered? Am I bovered? Am I bovered? Am I bovered?
Nadine Dorries is just like Comical Ali who was the Media and Foreign Affairs Minister under Iraqi President Saddam Hussein
“……And so it and we so and it’s……”
Thanks Nadine. Well done.
How the hell did she not know this ?
That’s not embarrassing!!!🤦🤦🤦😂
The incompetence is breathtaking.
That civil servant, should get a pay rise.
Exactly sound like Minister Hacker and Sir Humphrey
Does nobody check their appearance before they go on camera.
You should save this to your Favourites has you never know when you will need a good old Laugh.
Everyone should watch her being questioned about her abusive letters two years ago and what was said (?)
Is she really a Government Minister?
Yep hard to believe, but under Johnson the bar is set so low any old half wit will do,take your pick, Johnson, raab, patel,javid, sunak such a wealth of dozy twonks.
Channel four has taken a particular view on the future- translation- It questions Tory party ideology and doesn’t always agree with us.
imagine if the intelligent lady hadn’t stepped in…
You know you are in deep, deep, trouble when you install Dorries as the Culture Minister. Was there REALLY nobody else ? The cupboard was THAT bare ?
This so scary she is clueless
Brilliant Video
What a cunning stunt.
I weep into my facepalm.
D'Oh!!!!
She is deluded . Got her script from Boris , will do what ever he says . Anything
Have watched a few CZcams videos of this women now she must be a screem when Boris has them all round the cabinet table then I remember we pay her salary the joke is on us
Doh yeah rocky.wonder what her voice sounds like to her.
She puting more atention to her hair than a job. Just like her boss.
An utter embarrassment
This lady is out of her depth, swimming in ideological certitudes. How on earth....oh, I'm glad I don't live in the UK any more...best of luck to all you right minded souls over there.
But she doesn't need to know anything except that Boris is wonderful.
nuclear grade of incompetence
How do I get a job like this? Am I just not a big enough idiot?
Last year it made a £74m pre-tax surplus from it's actual funding advertisements so it proves it is useful, the governments says vote with your pound...
