Re: A government of the ignorant !!!
We vote for the choices we are offered and the party we fear least, so any party that people think will take care of their money will always do well, sadly other people come a long way down the list of voters priorities in many cases. We have sat back and watched benefit claimants, disabled and poor demonised by press and politicians and we have what we deserve because of that

Re: A government of the ignorant !!!
So easy to claim any criticism of DA as "thinly veiled racism".Could it possibly be that the woman is simply not capable of carrying out the task of her position? As for claiming it could be dyscalculic?
As a Cambridge graduate, I very much doubt it.
I don't think you will find much sympathy for DA, a woman who gave rise to the word Hypocrite when she criticised Bliar and Harman for sending their children to private schools, and then took her own son out of his state school and plonked him behind a school desk at a £10,000 a term fee-paying school.
Plus of course, her own well-publicised racist "White people love to divide and rule. We should not play their game" twitter remark, where she refused to apologise until she was forced to, by Miliband.

However, it does not explain why Labour keep putting her into a situation that she is obviously ill-equipped to deal with.

I don't like Abbott myself, mainly because she comes across as incredibly patronising, to everyone it seems. But I do find unwarranted, possibly discriminatory comments angering. Sometimes it makes sense to engage brain before commenting.
