I& #39;d rather hear any organic accent that has body, character and tells a story about where the person has come from, than an engineered "received" pronunciation that is forced upon people as a way of elevating some perverted sense of propriety and supposedly superior education.

Some of the tweets on social media about Loki& #39;s weegie accent and how that put people off from last night& #39;s Question Time (apparently) are straight from a cesspool.

I& #39;ll never hide my Portuguese accent, nor consciously change it. It& #39;s who I am - I learned English a second language, my accent tells the story of someone who came from elsewhere. And now, if the occasional Scottish inflection appears, well, that too is part of my story.
