See the questions has to be though when it's obvious no one in the western world thinks she should be Home Secretary why let her run all this time under the mantle of shadow Home Secretary? She's been that for how long now??

When Jeremy becomes PM on Friday he is going to need support from all the Labour MPs and will need to allocate the job of Home Secretary to someone who is acceptable to them. That is unlikely to be Diane Abbott.

Oh it's okay everyone.....Lily Allen has announced her support for dear old Diane........."Allen waded in on Twitter to defend Ms Abbott from criticism that she was damaging Labour. 'It's hardly surprising given the amount of racist sexist abuse she receives on a daily basis from people, press and mp's,' she wrote."

So there you have it...must be true :-D :-D

Dump May !!!!!! with any luck the country will dump Corbyn and his Cronies and I shan't say what into.

Now to the topic of this FUN Thread

My gawsh just think what any offspring will look like

Oh bob.....now that family gathering I'd love to be a fly on the wall for when the offspring is a spotty teenager :-D :-D

I wonder what the offspring would be like. Imagine them having a child who was a rabid right-winger.

"The Maybot has also pulled out of Womans Hour at short notice.
There is nothing funny about a five year sentence under this harridan.
Attempting to hide her incompetence and nastiness by taking a poke at an opposition figure is pathetic.

If May is lucky the Torys will dump her in the near future."

Again fun thread...feel free to start your own May thread :-D :-D
Let's be honest very few people of any swaying are saying Diane is competent...

Would I like Diane Abbott to be the next Home Secretary? She has actually repeated on several occasions that" ALL white people are racist "

What ever her political allegiance I would certainly not want her in such an important and powerful position


:-S

True.....but is that really a good point? :-D

The BBC used to be left leaning but now has to be careful of showing any bias because of threats to its funding.

"Top of the charts is a song about Theresa May even though the beeb is in denial. Has ever a such an incompetent, unscrupulous person ever before made the UK Pm look as crazy as Trump?

The annoying D Abbott is a beginner by comparison. At least May has shown how not to do the job.

The annoying sycophantic A Rudd seems to have handed the job back to the 12 armed Maybot which will do everything. GOOD MOVE"

Again remember fun thread don't over read it :-D :-D :-D

That said.......you're not trying to say the BBC aren't playing the song due to their right leaning views.....if anything they sway towards the left!!

Kay.....maybe she's menopausal!!

Mayfield :-D

Don't be mean to Diane, she is poorly
She was allowed to give an interview yesterday, but totally messed it up. She was supposed to be taking part in a Woman's Hour debate on radio 4 this morning, but called in sick, so Emily Thornberry had to stand in for her.

She probably has another migraine as she did when she missed the article 50 vote

Not that I am belittling migraines, awful things when they are genuine
:-)

Kay????

Thanks to Kay for a sensible comment.

If we were all judged on who we chose to sleep with in the '70s, most of us might be found to be somewhat wanting in common sense , if not taste :-)

I'm not particularly taken with her, but then I've not been taken with the cronies that May gathers to her bosom... or Cameron's buddies.
