badgerthewitness Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Genuinely shocked to see a religious fundamentalist furiously defending one of his ilk. Did not see that coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I worked with Jason Leitch for about 5 years between 2013-18. This is him. Condescending and patronising IMO but to some he is a clear communicator and someone who inspires a bit of confidence and bring people along on the journey. The project was only loosely related to public health but he must have a reputation in the civil service as being a good communicator. The project was an expensive disaster BTW He seems typical of the type that reach these lofty positions in the public sector because they can talk the talk - only to be exposed when they can't walk the walk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF I did think for a while the the stidhar stuff was mainly misogyny due to the extreme nature of the reaction against her. But then Leitch is (now) held equally in contempt so I'm not so sure. Edit: a poster literally gave the zero covid stuff as the reason a few pages back and wished we had whitty because he doesn't think it's a achievable. Folk calling out Devi for being an utter rocket with some abhorrent views, being branded “misogynists” , is certainly one of the wildest takes I've read on here. As for Leitch, he’s a sanctimonious condescending arsehole who is a mark for himself. We don’t hear or see Whitty on Talksport or Football Focus every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnieman Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Leitch appeals to that mid 40s to mid 60s Scottish middle class male bracket who think simultaneously - They are worldly wise due to their "life experience" - They could handle themselves in a fight for some reason - They are "straight talkers" - Everyone under the age of 35 with an opinion has ideas above their station - Think they're some sort of working class hero done good despite having very comfortable upbringings Leitch is the embodiment of that lot.. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I as actually going to mention that and then thought it would be be too harsh on him, but yeah every half hour or so I hear his voice on the radio adverts, then the cringe TV ones.

Any 'take' would be wild if you didn't actually read what I posted. If we lived in England, we would get the same kind of insufferable adverts that Leitch is in, but with whitty btw.

There is an advert but I rarely see it & it is dry and factual, something that he is clearly doing under sufferance as he has to as the CMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Government, obviously, not so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
