I would say that she has lived through more of it than you have.........First hand knowledge is always more reliable than other people's versions.

Beautifully patronising.

Isn't a slave rising up against their master a good thing? I'm still baffled why people are upset about this metaphor/figure of speech.
Britain with it's referendum win is rising up against it's rulers from Brussels.
It must take an absolute wally to not see the corilation or purposefully getting upset, I think the latter.

Because it’s insulting to suggest the struggle of a slave rising up is comprable to us trying to leave the EU.

It’s a moronic comparison.

Hyperbolic perhaps, not moronic.

Well if old Ann going full guns at the EU is all that's bothering you then life's relatively good.

I'm finding it rather good value for money myself.

I might email her suggesting that I write the script for her next rant.

I wouldn’t say it’s particularly bothering me, I just thought that particular part was moronic.

I found the ‘nous allons, wir gehen, we’re off!’ hilarious.

Next I'm hoping she ups the ante....I'm thinking along these lines.

Insulting?, it's taking the positive out of a slave having the power to rise against their owner's. Its not a literal comparison.

Darling how was your day "I've been working like a slave all day"
Anyone ever heard of that or a similar term?
I bet they wernt offended then!!!
