Diane Abbott

Re: Diane Abbott
I think Diane Abbott is an amusing sideshow, a sort of leftie equivalent of Boris Johnson. She's entertaining on TV with her mate Michael Portillo. She adds much needed colour in so many ways to British public life. But what I really like about her is the spluttering outrage she invokes in the ranting right and the Daily Heil. That alone makes her worthwhile and would render it necessary to invent her if she did not already exist.
And for those clamouring for my intervention and seeking to provoke some reaction, sorry not biting. I know that study of facts and careful analysis are not activities that you value, but even a cursory glance at my previous correspondence on the subject of racial epithets and other race-baiting will reveal that I only interjected where I thought there was a likelihood of misunderstood intent. I was looking for a dialogue which did get successfully conducted despite your irrelevant bloviations from the sidelines.
In this case there is no issue of misunderstanding the intent: it is clear. You are what you are and have revealed yourselves in this thread far more nakedly than I care to see.

Re: Diane Abbott
It grinds my gears tbh because the city is a total mess and they mostly have successive local Labour governments to thank for that.

Re: Diane Abbott
Well she's not actually in charge of anything, is she (except some inconsequential internal Labour party stuff)? She's a "spokesperson" and one of 650 MPs. And far from being the worst of those in fairness....

Re: Diane Abbott
I don't care what colour/race/religion politicians are but voting a Scouser in as mayor of Manchester is just wrong!
