Fragrant Diane, she really is the kiss of death.
My toes are still curling

all politicians are like that; you need to be a sociopath to go into politics, because you have to make hard decisions, and someone somewhere is always going to suffer and always going to oppose you.

Charming. My father was a politician. My favourite cousin still is (and so is his cousin, my stepsister [ok, she is actually awful] and my granduncle. NOT in the UK, btw but in my homecountry...).

But that's really rude and prejudiced. No, not all politicians are sociopaths. That's really awful stereotyping.

I thought mnhq didn't allow libellous comments to stand.

Well report it then. If they are with you they will delete it. If not it will stay.

HTH

I'm afraid that politicians shouldn't expect deference. People will be rude about them. It sort of goes with the job.

*agree with

no one is expecting deference. being called a crook is more than someone being 'rude about them'.

Since when is it libellous to call a politician a crook?

I think creighton would much prefer the comment to stand so they can just whine about it.

misspoke is that the same as utterly
Toe curlingly incompetent?

The very same, batgirl

FGS! It's nothing to do with her being black.
She apparently didn't have a clue what she was talking about.

Should imagine she'll be getting a serious dressing down from furious party officials. And if not, she bloody well ought to.

I misspoked the dinner last night! Burnt the bastard joint.

How do you know polly's ethnicity? Do you have some amazing computer that does video link posting?!

(Scary thought as some people probably post from the bath, toilet etc!)

creighton How dro you know posters race?

Of course she could have had a migraine this morning. That same migraine that caused her to miss the Brexit vote.

Crossed posts

oh polly are you white girls still playing the race card?

Jeez !! looks like your getting pretty racist yourself there with that type of judgment

One reason I dislike her is her desire to get rid of fee-paying schools charitable status - now that her kids have been through them. She is a classic socialist hypocrite.

Hit the nail on the head.

I dislike her because of her hypocrisy, condescending manner and her self-righteousness. Many politicians have these attributes but she seems to trump all of them.

She happens to be black so what? She happens to be s woman so what? Does those things make her incompetent? Of course not. What a ridiculous argument.

She's incompetent and a prize idiot who just happens to be s black womam.

oh polly are you white girls still playing the race card?

How crass.

If Corbyn doesn't remove Abbot from the Shadow Cabinet and give her a bollocking (🙈) after her catastrophic turn this morning, then to me it just proves my suspicions that he he doesn't give a shit about the Labour Party at all

I thought he already had

just another and Gloria did you not read polly's post where she played the race card?
