Politicians ? Once in power they're all pretty much the same. Without wanting to open the current can of worms, Government is a tiny cache of inexperienced individuals surrounded by advisors, quangos, Govt. bodies, Civil Service, the Judiciary - all who run rings around them and stifle change, innovation, and decisive actions. Take the dog out for a long walk and forget about them all..Originally Posted by the other bob wilson
I was watching a clip of her at her first election recently. No wonder Jeremy was sha***ng her. A good looking woman.
Not sure were it went wrong for Diane. Despite being highly intelligent she came over rambling in interviews. No doubt the press did a hatchet job and people believe something if its reiterated often enough. A decent and principled woman for all that.
I might try this approach in my next work appraisal and reply that the other person they interviewed would probably have done even worse.
Colour doesn't come into it so stop playing the race card it's because she's thick
So you are blaming the civil servants and scientists for this catastrophe? Not the Tory government who make the final decisions?
Oh really ? So just because she's the first black female MP, she has a free rein to make racist or anti-white comments in public does she ? "White people like to divide and rule" is one of hers and there are many others if you wish to check. There is no excuse for this type of behaviour regardless of colour so I most certainly do not respect her just because of her status.
Abbott read history at Cambridge
Funny how all these Tory apologists were "Labour all their lives"
Comparing the Labour party in UK with the Labour party in New Zealand is like comparing Jack the Ripper with a fluffy bunny rabbit. Also, the people who are most vociferous on this forum and the media in general, about criticising the current Government, are the ones who refuse to accept the result of the Brexit vote and the last election, consider anyone who voted for either to be idiots and won't shut up until the will of the British people is ignored and both are reversed. NB to them - the next election isn't until 2024 and by then we will be long shot of the EU and covid-19.
You're a funny man😂
I'm pointing out some relevant facts. She's the country's first female black MP and receives an almost unparalleled level of abuse
She's referring to the British Empire with "White people like to divide and rule", well she's not wrong is she?
Replace the word white with black, post it and see what happens to you matey !!
Chalk and cheese clearly just wouldn’t do this difference justice.
The catastrophe was probably caused by lax Chinese bio-security. Labour would have been in the same position. Would they have made the same decisions ? Who knows. This Govt. carries the can - that's the responsibility that comes with being in power..
What do you think the UK Government have done well in the Covid 19 crisis?
Absolutely not ! I've already said that Boris and Co. have not covered themselves in glory and I stand by that.
But the post you've responded to is about whether Ms Abbott should be put on a pedestal just because she is the country's first black female MP. I suggest not, given the overtly racist, anti-white comments she has made in the past.
Personally I am up to here with the politics of the way this crisis hay been handled.
People have died and are still dying because the bunch of people who are supposed to be running the country are out of their depth and don’t know what do next.
I think TOBW above hit the nail. Let the people of the UK get on with doing things the way they want and accept the consequences that arise.
I never understand people calling Diane Abbot stupid, how many posters on here got into Cambridge?
What university did you go to mate?
Never underestimate the sensitivity of a white man. No one in the equivalent position has an easier life than the white man yet they can't stop ****ing whinging.
In my view there's nothing racist in the statement, although it would be pretty historically inaccurate to claim "black people like to divide and rule" when referring to the tactics of the British Empire.
Why do you feel its racist?
Yep, another balanced response Croesy Blue. What a gem you are.
To be honest, I'm not remotely interested in speculating on how Messrs Corbyn and McDonald and Dianne Abbott would have done, they're all backbenchers now I believe and so what's the point? We have a Government that has overseen a situation where, no matter what stats you look at, the UK compares poorly with the rest of the world and now they've managed to create a situation whereby they are struggling to keep the country on board with their guidelines with many believing they are putting party and personal matters above people's wellbeing.
It's true mate. Never under estimate how much easier life for us.
It's true you're being a sensitive soul by crying racism too. It wasn't the cleverest thing for her to say, but it doesn't make it wrong.
Yes because white people are so oppressed by racial hate
We wont be long shot of covid 19 if the government response to it is anything to go by
And you think the EU nonsense will sorted by then ?
You have been sold a kipper
