O/T Diane Abbott

[mellowmiller]

Andrew Neil unbiased? What a load of bollax greatfire. As I speak he is chairman of the press holdings group which owns the Daily Torygraph and the Spectator. He is hardly likely to be unbiased is he? He should not be allowed anywhere near a tv camera when there is a democratic general election about to be had. I am pretty sure as well he has a lot of journalistic connections with that well known left winger rupee baby. Get a grip greatfire you are losing it...

Interesting debate. Don't you think ALL the commentators will have their own political preferences and some will have strongly held views?
It's illogical to think otherwise as presumably most of them will be going to the polling stations to cast their votes like the rest of us next Thursday.

I think a lot of diehard Labour supporters have such a hatred for the Tories - and often live in areas where their views rarely get questioned - that they see TV interviewers doing their job (playing Devils advocate) as anti-Labour bias.

My perception is that interviewers tend to give all politicians an equally hard time and any difference in outcome tends to come from how well they deal with it. For example, if you go on a live radio show and don't know how the stuff you're offering for free is going to be paid for, it might look like you're being given an unfair hard time - if you're a Labour supporter.

I shall be voting Labour as I feel a Labour government could be good fun. The idea that any of our political parties can reverse Western decline, radical Islamism, the catastrophic fall in majority living standards that beckons and the slide of the NHS into oblivion under the weight of obesity and transgender "corrections" is a quaint notion. Bring it on.

I was surprised there wasn't a thread about her the other week.

Leading up to the elections though, I just thought we should have a thread about her, and the very dangerous fact that she could well be our Home Secretary should Labour win. I mean, the idea is preposterous......

Anyway, I hate Piers Morgan. I think he is second only to George Galloway on public figures who I despise. But he's absolutely correct here.

That racist buffoon, Diane Abbott, can not even promise the country that if she was in charge, she would give the go ahead to detonate a nuclear missile if we had clear proof another country, or a rogue state such as ISIS, was about to do it to us.

THIS is one of MANY reasons why we CANNOT allow Labour to win power in Britain.

Please feel free to post your own videos highlighting the incompetence of the Shadow Home Secretary:

I'd rather have Russ Abbott than her- she is totally incompetent and I wouldnt trust her with the school tuck shop never mind Home Sec - isn't she the MP for looney left Tower Hamlets?

That's one of your funniest yet MMM

You're going to find it hard to improve on that one.

I thought the same Grist, MMM sees events in such a strange way.

Ah, he rears his head, wanna tell me again about Thatcher and the IRA?

Tory voters who originate from working class backgrounds would do well to remember that previous labour governments and trade unions have played a huge part in helping them pull themselves up by their boot straps and prosper in life .

[frogmiller]

Not sure that he does, remember his choice of alternatives is severely limited because some other likely candidates won't side with Corbyn.

Also when you add in some of the other "boxes to tick" like being female and being black then the short list gets very very short.

I'll put money on them all siding with him if he gets in.

Quite right frog , watch the blairites want to play when there's a sniff of power in the air .

That said , JC would be foolish not to offer the olive branch and unite the party and he's the type of man who would do that I believe .

If the younger one's get out and vote in large numbers the tory's are done for , caustically optimistic on that score .

[Lasterman]

Have they? Anyone got a story of what a Labour government has done to help pull yourself up by your bootstraps? I can give you a few of how they've tied my buggers together.
