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!!

    • I know people won’t have any sympathy but the SEND challenge was brought up when taxing parents who have opted for independent school to meet a child’s SEND needs. Funding crisis is getting worse and the VAT on Education pushed children out of independent schools, now their SEND needs are to be met by the state.
    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
