I can sympathize with Mr. Lammy. Back in 6th grade, I was on the school safely patrol. I demanded that everyone address me as “officer”.

I thought that was a reasonable request.
But nobody else did.

🙁

These same people mocking him would insist you call a man she/her for an even less valid reason.

Is one of the Prime Minister’s cabinet members the “Deputy Prime Minister?”

Is it always the Minister of Justice or sometimes is it the Home Secretary or the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for example?

Is the term “Uppity” solely for American usage?

I had an economics professor in college that had his PhD. And he said to us, “the only people who need to call me doctor are the ones who sign my paycheck.”

Very enjoyable class. The rest of the PhD professors insisted they be called doctors. Arrogant pricks.
