So no recognition of Abbott’s achievements as a black woman forging a path in a time when both black men and women were openly being discriminated against? Do you honestly think it was a given for any black person to obtain a place at Cambridge in the 70s?UpminsterO wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 11:11 amI used her as an example because in my life time she has demonstrated she is not very talented in the role I see her attempt to do - I remember her interviews they were not indicating a reasonable intellect.Admin wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 9:11 amDiane Abbott.

Alternating red to blue and blue to red with a few others dotted about
How can any country be deemed accurately democratic when -
Blue - is funded the way it is / select it's MP the way it does and draws people educated in way where they are - from that social economic group
Grove and mr Boris both with degrees that show they will not be the best brains in this world. Yep get a crap degree in arts and then join a political party. Historically they recruited lawyers hence their uncaring behaviour
The Red lot are not much better with the quality to be seen - using left wing rhetoric as a veneer of their own career greed, Would Abbot hold any reasonable job not in politics - suprise me and tell me yes but use rational as evidence.
God we had Blair a person with a default grin that allegedly was chosen by a third party due to his historical behaviour outside politics and then controlled - I cannot write more on this as its would get me banned from this forum. How many houses does he now own in the best parts of London and the debacle when the honey wife bought those flats in Bristol with that dubious connections
You had or have the distgusting sky owner visiting Cameron so many times during the pre election run up at that time
Look at Boris record as a mayor look at WHU deal as a prime example of that debacle with Coe involved and his brainless comments about a legacy
The criticism is endless
The absolute shambles on the virus is a national disgrace and devoid of any logical decent planning and they should be sacked without the next award - gravitating to the House of Lords or rewarded with an Ambassadors position somewhere - great work if one can get chosen easy money for no real work
The number of health workers that have died is irresponsibility to mankind like genocide to their families and the victim as tax payers. I really hope there is a true independent action against the conservatives
The cherry on the top is the queen telling us we will meet again - that ain't going be easy unless you get a pass into the castle. Charles does not pay any tax on his earnings from his land owning inherited investments and struts about with his left hand always in his jacket pocket like a total twit
Keep safe and well everyone this virus nightmare will be over one day but it's you the British tax payer that needs to object to the system to improve fairness and create true transparency of decency.
The Diane Abbott who attended both grammar school and Cambridge in an era when black students in those surroundings was almost unheard of?
Diane Abbott - the first black woman MP and longest serving black MP who’s generally acknowledged as a pathfinder for the countless BAME MP’s who followed her.
Interesting choice you made there. Any idea why you chose her and why she still receives abuse of a daily basis for an error she made 3 years ago whilst other shitbags in and out of government float along untouched regardless of the havoc they wreak?
I know what you are seeking I know your question - answer my own wife is from a country which is not uk and her skin is colour between white and black - so please let's forget the colour theme shall we on abbot
I could not care what the colour of her skin is / what university she went to or what her sexual orientation is or what her favourite foods are - to me she not inspiring as a person
That does not mean she cannot pass an exam and get the Cambridge deal
Maybe she secured a position there due to her portrayal then as a young person who knows what went on in the interview
She may not inspire you but it ridiculous to disparage her achievements. Even better if you could at least acknowledge your incorrect assertion that she couldn’t hold a job outside of politics when her career path shows she did exactly that.
One final thing - having a mixed race wife doesn’t exclude you from being a racist or having racist tendencies. You need to think back and decide exactly why you chose Diane Abbott as your example when countless white male and female politicians have had a far bigger negative impact on this country over the last 40 years. Also consider why you’re not alone in doing this and why she’s the most abused politician in this country despite having never held a significant government position.
