https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j...Iu5BTua0d6fUlwZWhat Diane Abbott can do Borris can do better . Who on earth thought it would be a good idea to give this buffoon the job of Foreign Secretary ? Apart from the fact that most Spanish citizens would be more than happy to see the back of this barbaric practice , to be told how to conduct their affairs by this clown is down right insulting . Then we have the matter of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe ...........What next ?????

It's hilarious comedy time folks . You can put aside your political differences and unite in the knowledge that we are a little brighter than some . http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/41973119/why-...e-earth-is-flatThis has to be the funniest thing I have seen this year . Nothing like putting things in perspective , and this is nothing like it .

She outwardly criticises the Russians and then "arranges " for her foreign secretary to visit the Country . What price a BA strike around the time he is due to return .

Boris will be back, have no fear! Clever politicians, particularly those with ambition, learn to read the currents and ride the tides. Would you have wanted to take over from Cameron, who anyway didn't really need to go. The dear lady gets her 15 minutes this way. Like a kipper, stiched up; that's us!

QUOTE (Strafin @ Jan 21 2019, 06:01 PM) It wasn't Newsnight, and I'd say the complaint is a valid one. It might not be upheld but it is worthy of investigation. It was question time, and no, it's not. I watched that and while I can't say what went on in the green room her treatment during the program reflected her position and ignorance of the facts. She's a poor Shadow home Sec and that's glaringly obvious. She can't expect that to be glossed over. Simply calling justified criticism 'racist' is weak, poor and helps to divert public attention away from the real issue of genuine racism that should be addressed when found. She's out of her depth.

You tend to find any politician with an ethnic background plays the race card when they are failing. Lammy is another example. It's poor politic. I also love the fact that the people's vote has now suddenly become the "Final Say" vote among remainers. In other words if remain win this one then no chance of another even if it's 50.1 to 49.9. #joke #democracyisdead

Simply calling justified criticism 'racist' is weak, poor and helps to divert public attention away from the real issue of genuine racism that should be addressed when found. She's out of her depth. She was dismissed as being wrong and the (impartial bbc) presenter, Fiona Bruce, stopped the discussion, said "No, you are wrong" and allowed someone to continue berating her. That in itself isn't really fair, and not what the programme is supposed to be. But now it is alleged that the audience were "wound up" during the warm up to direct negativity towards her. And not anyone else on the panel. So imagine it was Farage or Davis or someone and tell me you agree that it is acceptable.
