aahhh. Diane Abbot she is a bit of an idiot to be fair.

Though paraphrasing to make a point is rather underhand loz you should know better than that.


i did wonder at "Black African nurses would be unsuitable at certain hospitals as they might have never seen a white person before." as it actually made no sense.


And white people certainlly have played divide and rule, it was called imperialism, something the brits did rather well for a bit there.

I was being a bit underhand, true. But my point was that this person is already an MP and has been for quite some time. Had UKIP made the comments above, then they would have been - quite rightly - called out as racist. And yet all the people calling out UKIP don't say much about her. Is it coz...?

To be fair, it made as much sense as the original Abbott quote.

but yes, there is apoint in there about the scruitiny ukip recieve, but as i said, if you have no policies except a vague xenophobia, it's hardly surprising.


I have often occasionally wondered how Diane Abbot has managed to avoid being kicked out of new new labour, but she was almost the quintissential new labour MP!!

    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
