[OT] If you are still thinking about voting Labour next month...

  1. I am not a Tory lover.
  2. I have no problem with accents - in fact I can do quite a few pretty well (so I have been told). I just just can't stand people that put one on.
  3. I do however have a problem with people who are so committed to the cause that they cannot bring themselves to admit that she made herself look like a complete fool in that interview. All she had to say was "sorry, I got my figures wrong" rather than treat us all like idiots with her attempts to wriggle out of her mess.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

She didn't send him - he forced her to send him (or at least this is what the teenager said to the media when everything came out...) ;-)

It took 50 years and the iron curtain falling before we found the garages full of Rolls Royces of the Russian socialist elite who were lecturing the plebs about "we are all equal".

My initial thought as well, but on second thought I now believe that her limited brain capacity simply cannot handle speech at a higher speed.

Nothing to do with class or background in her case - she clearly managed to find her way to Cambridge (in the days before reserved places for the disadvantages) Problem she has, in my opinion, is that she comes across as patronising, fake (private school, etc), and not particularly bright (and I am being generous here).

Not a problem where a politician (or anyone else) send their kids. Problem she has was that prior to sending her son (very quietly may I add)she was busy lecturing all her colleagues who had done the same that spending their children to selective schools was "indefensible" and "intellectually incoherent".

Ah, so when you are "doing one", then you hate yourself, eh?

When Kelly Tolhurst stood against Reckless in the Rochester by-election a couple of years ago, some local Labour snobs got up in arms: her natural speaking voice is some flavour of Essex or Estuary or whatever it is, but they decided that, as a Tory, she ought to have been sounding like a toff so she must have been putting it on.

So many snobs about, what to do.

Dianne Abbott sound fine to me as do most people however they speak - it's her incompetence that will hopefully sink her.

Labour does have some skilled politicians, but their experiance also tells them they have to wait out of sight until after Corbyn.

Can you imagine Diane as Home Secretary? Is that's the best Corbyn can muster?

You aint seen nuffing yet - wait until we brexit...

Which of course is fairy nuff. I'll bet even she thought herself a prat after seeing it back.

However, not quite sure what any of that has got to do with her accent...

So when you posted

a short while ago you were just telling porkies?

Not at all. It is just that unlike her I am big enough to admit my mistake and correct myself: it wasn't her fake accent after all, but the fact that she is thick.

And blame the journalist for the impertinence of asking a question about such a meaningless (to Labour) matter as money.

In an election campaign you put forward any policy the first question you are going to be asked is how much will it cost. The second is how are you going to pay for it.

SO state schools are the worst on offer?

That's a new take on means testing.

Typical whinging socialist.

Unsure? She hadn't a bloody clue on a significant Labour Policy statement.

The only way to ensure equal opportunities is to remove all opportunities from everyone.

As happened when they abolished grammar schools

Then all children were equally disadvantaged.

The Natural Philosopher

Even sillier than you usually manage.

That didn?t remove all opportunities from everyone.

Those that can afford private schools can obviously continue to use those.

And its completely silly to claim that no one ever gets any opportunity from govt schools with no grammar schools.
