The actual message is true though since 2010 the numbers of police have been cut by 20 thousand , so much for the tory lie about being the party of law and order , but no people would rather attack somebody who has made a mistake , the utter hypocrisy of the Establishment and its messengers in full flow.

shirley a warning - the result of 'discrimination in certain groups as candidates' Exclude men. Exclude whites. Amazing scenes.

Very good Kit Kat!!
Apparently the true cost of 10k Plod is way, way above £80m given it takes 13k to train them. Then there's equipment etc. |

Is there ANY Labour supporter who thinks this woman is an asset to the Labour Party, and a valuable contributor to public life?
Jeremy Corbyn obviously does,the country needs the BBC to use her high profile more during the election run in ! No doubt she will end up in the House of Lords as Jezza's payoff when he has to stand down in July. |

they were talking on the radio about the interview damaging her credibility. does rather beg the obvious response

smell a rat here somewhere, even before flabbott flunked her figures there,d be a sky operation to rubbish the policy,
on paper there surely isnt even a hedge fund manager that could argue that stopping a cut to capital gains tax to fund police numbedrs isnt a good idea,yet sky were questioning abbott as though a perfectly sensible policy was bonkers |

Corbyn would have coppers walking around with plastic truncheons and unloaded guns.

Politics now is all about image and soundbites all a product of Thatcher Spiv culture Haven't read whole thread but this can't go unchallenged. Tony Blair introduced this country to spin, cliche, soundbite, key word politics and it was the labour supporters that fell for it and voted him in. No matter what they profess now about Blair, they voted him in and are responsible for what happened afterwards |

wouldn't it be funny if Corbyn was to sack her? I might vote for him.

By:
repeat
the question very very very slowly until you are clear with the figures Then just make it up Absolute class |

making it up was worse

i thought the funniest bit was when her feminist brainwashing kicked in,even though she was up to her neck in it with the figures & ferrari was querying her request for 250,000 more policemen she still needed to blurt out "& women",as though that was more important than the ridiculous figure she'd just spouted.

250,000 coppers at 80,000,000..works out they get paid £320 A YEAR EACH , THATS ABOUT £6.15P A WEEK
 .THEY WOULD LEAVE AND GO TO SPORTS DIRECT |

Abbott is not only intellectually lacking she is also arrogant, which is a very dangerous combination in one seeking high office. Her incompetence in this interview was obvious, but her arrogance would not allow her to do what any reasonable person would have done - admit at the outset that they did not know - so instead she embarked on an ever-worsening string of outright guesses which quickly descended into farce. One of the most embarrassing political interviews ever.

So the tories are perfect at this interviewing lark are they do you not remember John Nott throwing his microphones at Robin day?

Or Micheal Howard refusing to answer Paxmans question 16 times was it ?

I though Miliband was unelectable but Corbyn & Abbott are in a different class when it comes to unelectability.

anx,just admit it she was too bad to defend and move on. If Labour can't understand why she is such a liablity its worrying (its not race,not gender,etc,etc), she is just not good enough.

She was very poor tree , simply not up to the task everybody knows that.

did she go to Oxford Uni ? |

Abbott's office has just confirmed Labour intend to recruit one policeman and pay him £300million. Apparently, this will be easier for Diane to remember.

She is a shoo in for Chancellor of the exchequer.
If by a miracle Labour win the election (never underestimate the electorate) she can handle the Brexit money negotiations. The EU will surrender in a week. |

I would suggest the black girl who is always standing behind Worzel might think so. She was holding his brolly the other day. I bet she makes a nice cake.. |

Yes she is a disaster in waiting and yes the interview with Ferrari was abject beyond words, however yesterday, Theresa May's 'peeps' locked a load of journalists in a room to prevent them asking her questions about her parties policies. Richard Graham (Tory MP) claimed some permanent degenerative diseases 'got better' - yet was unable to give a single example of this miracle. There's also this allegation about HSBC giving dirty money to the Conservative Party coffers but, oh just go back to having your news agenda set for you....I'm sure it'll all work out just fine.
As for the truth Fully over-headed cost of a Met Police officer is £75,883 pa. Mersey Police is £68,046 pa. Labour's 10,000 extra bobbies costs 680-758 million pa. |

fooooooooook me putting aside the woeful abbott and any other promises made for a second,
is there a single serious unselfish person alive who given the choice by the governing party to either A, PUT MORE BOBBIES ON THE BEAT B, GIVE A CAPITAL GAINS TAX BREAK 99% of people voting wouldnt no what capital gains tax was and wouldnt be able to quote you the current figure,there,s a 1000 posts over this forum about abbott but the current figure and the cut figure arn,t mentioned once |
|
By:
This is what happens 1tp when the tory lie machine gets into full spin , the real message is lost
|
|
By:
the message was lost yesterday because dianne abbott walked into lbc studios not knowing her **** from her elbow,not because of any conspiracy.if you have a good message present it properly,no ones fault apart from her own.

The state of the Labour Party is lamentable when people like Abbot are positions of authority. I haven't even heard the interview yet but heard her defending it or trying to.
There is no money for what we need...decent houses, decent jobs, a decent Health Service, decent schools. Where is Labour going to find the money? Here are some other questions...why do we need Trust's, why can't we Double Irish our wages? why doesn't the Tax Man come to lunch with us to discuss how much we decide to pay in tax? How can someone's wife live in Monaco and yet receive all his wages tax free? Why didn't the Government use Tax Payers money to bail us out of credit card debt? Why did the Government bail out rich people who lent money to corrupt Governments like Greece? The fact is the real mug is not Dianne Abbott. It is us. We are here to serve the rich and powerful and do nothing and let people like Dianne Abbott represent us. This really has to stop if we are to be nothing more than serfs. There is no money for us and our needs because the rich are taking more and more of it. |

That is the real crime WD, the quality of candidates is abysmal and allows for parties to promote members based on their readiness to join in rather than any spurious claims to ability and competence.

But does not the system reward the arrogant and deluded?
How many honest, straight talking politicians ever get near the front benches? |

I would promote Frank Field in Labour, a decent bloke who would win Labour a million votes if he were more prominentin their party .
