Stacey is in a different league to Linda. She does have intelligence, Linda is an embarrassment. It’s not about the way they speak, it’s about professionalism and knowing stuff outside of their own lives. Linda never prepares, and despite the opportunities her career has offered her, she doesn’t know much of life outside Islington. They humour her, she’s the batty old baggy mouth. The newer ones like Sunetra and Katie must wonder what the hell when she’s on. At least Stacey has an awareness of the wider world.
