Re: A government of the ignorant !!!

And there is me thinking, with the help of the BBC, that only white men are racist.

Re: A government of the ignorant !!!

All depends on your definition of racist and I have no idea how the BBC can have influenced your ideas.

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.
Strange how it was DA herself who claimed it was her Type 2 Diabetes and blood sugars that caused her confusion over the figures. Maybe you should write and ask her to confirm that before diagnosing her yourself and coming out with cries of veiled discrimination and discriminatory comments just because I happen not to agree with you.

I don't disagree with the fact she has been elevated beyond her abilities , but I do however think there is a lot of racism against her, she is the most threatened mp and most of the threats are about her colour and the fact she is a woman. It's awful, disgraceful conduct. More that happens less we can say about her racism IMO as it becomes muddied and mired in the mess. No one comes out looking good.

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 think you could say the same about many politicians, especially those in senior positions.

Re: A government of the ignorant !!!

You do not have to be a brilliant mathematician to either study history or become an MP, but you do have to be passably competent, and clearly she is not

Search YouTube for 'Diane Abbott' to see why she is one of the Conservative Party's best assets.

True mind she keeps getting reelected and the people she represents seem to love her

Hi

If Diane was a Nicole Kidman lookalike I would still think that she is a useless politician.

The BBC does not in anyway shape my ideas and surely racism can only be defined one way.
Whenever the BBC in fact any news broadcast service reports on racism and racists it will show white men, I do not think I have ever seen an ethnic minorities person of black person accused of racism, Dianne Abbot is blatantly anti white yet no one has stood up on TV and accused her of racism, why not?
