I'm a bit biased because she hails from Poplar in east London, where I lived for several years in the 70s (in Robin Hood Gardens) and taught there in a secondary school from 1973-80. I think it's great that a girl from that background (I use the word girl, as opposed to person, advisedly) can come good in the way she's done, and the last thing I'd want for her is for the flabby and outmoded Lord Digbys of this world to be imposing his idea of the Queen's English on her. Go, Alex!
