Diane Abbott for London mayor?

[steveo]

We'd be better off with Russ Abbot

[KalamityKel]

uhoh :-s

[????]

The voice of the left - kids to private school and she still claims to be a propa socialist!

[Otta]

She's made a complete joke of herself. Surely has no chance.

[malumbu]

No. Shallow. Fine on TV. Shallow.

Forget her hypocracy/

Simply shallow.

[pipsky2008]

I don't know how many children Diane Abbot has but a son of hers studied in secondary school in Ghana and is now studying at Cambridge although he may have graduated by now

[KalamityKel]

Erm... right... and means what?

[pipsky2008]

more in response to ???? remark but meaning if son that studied in secondary school in Ghana is concerned, most secondary education in Equatorial African countries is private.

Diane Abbot may have other children of course who attended private school in this country which I am not aware of. I was referring to the one son I know of who Diane chose to have educated in Ghana rather than here in the U.K

If Russ Abbot stands for mayor then he would be representing The Party with a happy atmosphere .

She is a ridiculous figure essentially her message for years was 'private schools are totally wrong, especially if you are Labour like me.....oh until I want to send my son to one & then it's totally ok & my defense is that he might have got into a gang at a state school..'

[Otta]

And that I'm a West Indian mother, so I want what's best for my son...

Don't we all love.

[uncleglen]

I'm trying to decide if she would be a better option than George Galloway....bring back the Monster Raving Loonies please...at least they didn't try to pretend that are sane. (btw I've never voted Labour and I'm not about to start now)

They never went away. Call themselves OMRLP a lot now

They have 7 councillors

Galloway is dangerous as he does speak well.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Zac Goldsmith's an interesting one.

[Loz]

Goldsmith vs Jowell. That would be great battle.

[stringvest]

Diane Abbott ... no thanks !

[Michael Palaeologus]

The double act of Diane Abbott and Michael Portillo would be fun.

He knows about trains.

[PeckhamRose]

I find Diane Abbott as annoying, ingratiating and generally as shallow and bleughhh as, say, Robert Elms.

She is a shameful hypocrite.

Incidentally, regarding her sending her kid to Ghana for education, I have heard of families doing this because they know their kids will be caned when they are naughty; something that is not allowed here (anymore)!
