Re: Diane Abbott does it again
 

but she went to University so she must have a superior intelligence over others

she's one of the elite one of those with superior intellect who always vote the right way and always fully understand what they are talking about

There are a scary amount of politicians that aren't up to the job. However the media love to pick on this one for some reason(s).

Re: Diane Abbott does it again
 

There is intelligence and then there is innate common sense papa.

Re: Diane Abbott does it again
 

Maybe because she is useless, has made racist remarks against “Whites”, and the fact she has a checkered past with links to the IRA along with her former lover, Corbyn and other IRA backer like McDonnell and her wanting “British defeat”.

Nothing like reverse snobbery - just as bad as snobbery.

The chip on your shoulder must be quite heavy.... ;)

Re: Diane Abbott does it again
 

snobbery ? chip?

i'm just giving due reverence to to my superiors :nworthy:

Re: Diane Abbott does it again
 

People are only your superior if you let them be.

Education teaches knowledge, but not necessarily common sense - however, not attending Higher Education doesn't implicitly mean you have common sense.

Some people just lack it, but often try to cover that up with sarcasm....

as you wish sagacity sir :nworthy:

Re: Diane Abbott does it again
 

It amazes me how she is still an MP. It amazes me just as much that tv channels give her so much air time considering the crap she spouts.

@hugh, Intelligence, memory and common sense are the three differences which get confused IMO. Someone who can remember facts might do well for passing exams but they might not have the intelligence to solve a puzzle. That same person might not have the common sense to cleanup at the end of a job once and instead cleans up 5 times as they go along, as an example.

Everyone is a combination of different levels of those. Diane Abbot appears to score low on all three of those going by the things she has said and done on a consistent basis. I don't see her getting the job on merit.

Again it's a case of who you know rather than what you know. or who you slept with...

Re: Diane Abbott does it again
 

She has absolutely no merit. She is only there because she is a close ally to Corbyn, not to mention they are former lovers.

The LBC interview she did with police numbers and cost was an absolute embarrassment, she then made a series of other blunders.

But she is the Shadow Home Secretary, she should be aware of recommendations made in a report on terror, that was commissioned for London Mayor, she had absolutely not read it and it showed in this excruciating interview she did on Sky News back in June.

Re: Diane Abbott does it again
 

I remember how she used to close her eyes when answering with an obvious lie or spinned untruth.

It must have taken a lot of training to stop her doing it.

Closing her eyes that is, not spouting obvious lies or spinned untruths.

Surefire winner of "Pull a pig":D

Re: Diane Abbott does it again
 

This post is out of order. If you have to attack her for just being a women that you have already lost the argument.

Re: Diane Abbott does it again
 

Yes it's fair enough to have a go at someone for not being very good. But with Diane Abbott it also brings out sexism, racism, people not liking the way she looks/talks etc, all irrelevant. Why not have a go at Boris or Priti Patel, equally crap at their jobs. It just doesn't suit the agenda on here, and making personal attacks DA does !

don't read it then .
