LOL, somebody’s awfully judgy about dropping ‘t’ while using an accent where any ‘r’ at the end of a syllable is there solely to toss one more oily rag onto the dumpster fire of English orthography.

well but that’s just how this country (Used to) work(s). i remember quite a ruckus when Tony Blair tried to adopt a more folksy pronunciation.
Ha, ha (or not). But joking aside, where were the Prime Minister's T's? What happened to his H's? Why, when he tried to say, ''They put on a little show for us,'' did it come out as, ''They pu' on a li'l show for us?'' And why did he say, referring to the horse, that '' 'e's come back to England''? Or, as Bruce Anderson said, writing in The Daily Mail, ''Why did the Prime Minister take reverse elocution lessons?''
