OT Andrew Neil grills Diane Abbot

[harry]

Priceless this one. Whatch/listen to the socialist hypocrite squirm.

[RJH]

She comes off better than usual IMO - which is not saying a great deal. And admirably consistent, considering it's over 5 years old. Neil looks desperate.

[Brian-Gaff]

Nobody has all the answers and the sooner politicians of all persuasions admit that, the better. When I saw the thread title I thought Andrew had started a new show about cannibalism. Brian

[The Natural Philosopher]

And serves her with sauce tartare?

[sm_jamieson]

Interesting interview where she defends sending her son to a fee-paying school despite her views on Comprehensive schooling:

Simon.

[harry]

Yep all socialists are hypocrites. DA is one of the worst. No real talent or conviction. The token female black.

[Timothy Murphy]

She was right to put her family before her party.

As Graham Greene said, "If I had to choose between my country and my friend, I hope I would choose my friend".

[bert]

She put her family before her convictions on which she lectures the rest of us at every opportunity.

[Timothy Murphy]

Would you put your convictions before your family?

[harry]

Obviously, it wasn't a conviction as she abandoned it as soon as it didn't suit. ie she was lying. Posturing.

Like all socialists. They want socialism for everyone else but not let it impinge on themselves. A scumbag. A despicable woman.

[harry]

I bet he was a socialst too. Bliar send other people to fight his illegal war in the Middle East. Not his own family/friends. Ok for them to be killed and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. All to feed his socialist principles, lies and vanity. Anybody that votes socialist subscribe to these "principles" is a scumbag'

Socialists have no principles except to rob those that work and bribe those that don't.

[dennis]

Not much of a conviction is it?

[whisky-dave]

I never considered Blair a socilaist.

declared opposition to the traditional conception of socialism, and declared support for a new conception that he referred to as "social-ism"

What makes you think he was.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Yes. Far better to be a Tory like you who simply wants everything for himself.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

You expect a PM to do the fighting himself? Are you actually mad?

[The Todal]

Are you Scottish.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Have you listened to any of the speeches at the CP conference? And noted which got the biggest applause?

[John]

"Dave Plowman (News)" wrote

You mean the conference of the party which wants to spend ?50bn on HS2 and ?100bn+ to replace Trident, and yet wants to take ?4bn from Working Tax Credit from the lowest paid WORKING people.

You know it makes sense. haha!

John.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

They don't consider the lower paid to be workers, though. The working class to them is manager to board level. Anything below that servants.

[The Todal]

Are you Scottish.
