Talk:Marina Hyde

message: [which alludes to Hyde's interactions with Piers Morgan] 
currently yields an impressively complete 4O4 with no archive.org rescue possible. This should be fixed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaFolleCycliste (talk • contribs) 19:12, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

message: She was on maternity leave between September 2012 and February 2013 and made reference on Twitter in September to a medical procedure that saved her baby's life. If anyone can find reference to this second child now being safe and well we could fill in the number of children box and remove some untidy ambiguity regarding her number of children that I just edited into this article. Hopefully the peerage site referenced with respect to the first child will be updated. --Persus-9 (talk) 09:35, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Her celebrity column is called Lost in Showbiz, it appears every Friday...
Perhaps you could also allude to her writing style which is notably dry to say the least... for instance look at the comments on just about any of her articles... Random article
Also last year (2006) one of her articles appeared in a published Guardian yearbook as it was one of the top reader voted articles of the year... It was this article (scroll down). Here is the book
Love the woman - disappointed to see her ancestry though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.186.38.229 (talk) 20:55, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Should there be an explanation as to why she is Marina Hyde? Her husband is called Clifton and it's not her maiden name. A nom de plume? A first unmentioned husband?--The Totter 02:05, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect she's worried about sounding posh and privileged, especially at the Graun. --Ef80 (talk) 15:21, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it's protective camouflage. Today she filed a column sneering at men who went to 'minor public schools'. Haileybury doesn't meet her standards, apparently. The men in question, Boris Johnson supporters, may be dodgy, but that's a ridiculously snobbish point to make, and she can only get away with it by pretending she isn't originally Miss Dudley-Williams, from a grand titled family -- Downe House and Christ Church, actually, don't you know -- and isn't presently Mrs Clifton, married to a grand panjandrum at the BBC. People who use false names, other than actors and novelists whose trade is fantasy and who use stage names and pen names for well-understood reasons, are usually up to something. (Incidentally, no one is invited to believe that my real name is that of a Tibetan character appearing in the Modesty Blaise comic strip 'The Black Pearl', published in the Evening Standard from 12 December 1966 to 22 April 1967, whereas people are very much invited to believe that Marina Hyde is Marina Hyde and not in fact Marina Clifton nee Dudley-Williams, with all that that implies.)

replies: text: She's done the same when wading into this recent Laurence Fox thing- calling Harrow, of all places, a "minor public school" when it's obvious to anyone that it comes a close second to Eton in terms of status... clearly she has some strange ideas, or just wants to try and score some kind of cheap point by attacking the egos of what she (hilariously enough, given her own background) considers people (let's be honest, "men") who need taking down a peg.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.68.71 (talk) 01:38, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I think she's attempting to appear waspishly witty like a sort of woke Dorothy Parker, but she actually comes across as a sneering snob. --Ef80 (talk) 11:09, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
