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!!

    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
