Cockney is an area of London where criminals live
The police don’t arrest them because - and they are very particular about this - they only slaughter their own

A woman who utters such depressing and disgusting sounds has no right to be anywhere—no right to live. Remember that you are a human being with a soul and the divine gift of articulate speech: that your native language is the language of Shakespeare and Milton and The Bible; and don’t sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon.

It’s absurd to allege there’s no diversity btw when you look at the prevalence of that street accent, to say nothing of the prevalence of skunk use amongst an overlapping demographic.
