Drinking on a Train

She has sincerely apologised though,

She thought she had picked up a pineapple drink but picked up a mojito instead due to having another hypo 1.01.

I am outraged at this. Outraged.

Racist/sexist thread.

It's not like she's .. shadow home secretary though is it?

Alcoholicist thread.

Everyone does it.

1.01 no thread if it was a white/male tory.

Hope she didn't walk out of M&S and forgot to pay for it.

Yea right becauase if a tory home secretary was caught drinking on a train when it was banned there would be NO comment. Even the Daily Mail would on their case hard.
...On what planet to these labour apologists live?

M&S Mojito?

"Even the ****s on the site wouldn't drink that, that's worse than meths".

w & n k e r $

Abbot:"Nonsense. This is a far superior drink to meths. The w&nker$ don't drink it because they can't afford it".

Fake outrage in this topic as per

Who doesn't enjoy a cocktail on train.....

Since 1 June, 2008 it has been illegal to drink alcohol on Transport for London's (TfL) network.
The alcohol ban was introduced by the then Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, in an attempt to tackle unruly behaviour on the TfL network.

Whilst I'm not the greatest fan of the brainless racist that is The Rt Hon Diane Abbott MP , I see this as the lesser of two evils .
Like many Members of Parliament , she could quite easily have hailed a taxi at the public's expense . Instead she chose to travel with the hoi polloi on public transport and maybe felt that a little dutch courage was required for the experience .

Laudable enough except that she took up two seats.

Has she apoligised to the Cubans for cultural appropriation?

mouse

I'm with Reynard on this. Takes (a) bottle for an MP to travel on the train. No seriously fair play to her. She gets enough grief but I'm genuinely surprised she would use the tube.

Well this may well explain her confusion on Occasions , She is steaming Drunk

She was trying to be economical...but inadequate hiding the mojito; attention seeking to the extreme.

Momentarily funny but column inches? An apology? Another Twatter storm in a teacup outrage? Really?

Several thousand veterans march in Central London yesterday to protest the trials of soldiers accused of murder on Bloody Sunday and there’s not a peep about it.

Every single MSM platform are self-serving bu11sh!tters, wherever you stand on the political spectrum

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ agree 100%

Has she claimed it on expenses?

"she could quite easily have hailed a taxi at the public's expense ."
Taxi? Could she not get something cheaper, is there not an internet company that caters for people like her, sure I heard about it.
"Blubber" or something?

"Several thousand veterans march in Central London yesterday to protest the trials of soldiers accused of murder on Bloody Sunday and there’s not a peep about it."
I certainly never heard about it. Maybe David Attenburgh could talk about it and they could get some indoctrinated schoolchildren to skip school for it?

pornstar martini is far better for drinking on the train

hope this helps...

Nearly as bad as Humza Yousaf the then Scottish Justice Minister caught driving without motor insurance.

Oops meant the then Transport Minister.
Funnily enough he got the Justice Minister gig soon afterwards.
Takes a thief etc ...

A venn diagram of people who are outraged at this and racists would be a circle. That is all.

It's spelled "that is a troll". HTH.

At one point has anyone mentioned anyones Race or Color in this Thread ?

I do not Like the Woman if she were White I would not like her , Jezza is white I cant stand the man, Absolutely nothing to do with race , Once again we have Liberal Halfwit Pulling the race card ,Unreal .

Porky is always trying to be a smart ar5e.
he's about 50% their to be fair.

I am not outraged ,I just think it shows how much of a Hypocrite She is ,wanting to ban Cheap Booze yet she is on a Train Drinking

black or white she's an idiot

Spot on BM

The reason people find it amusing is that it's the "shadow home secretary", their spokesperson for law and order, brazenly flouting a law that's been in place for 11 years that could result in a fine. It's not like if say Boris or Gove did it, the media would ignore it, and they don't even hold that position. The media and internet would be all over them.

I'm not sure what PoP's game is, I think he laughably believes he's a clever troll, but actually with every post he adds strength to the proposition that left wing people aren't very bright. It's not exactly a winning strategy!

Same old songs from the tory filth

Anxious, as usual, taking sides with the lawbreakers.

Pmsfl @ tory Filth , you could not be further from the Truth , Does these Cooonts have a brain cell between them

Guy on the left in that photo seems to be wearing a sailors uniform, guy back right seems to be wearing a hat from revolutionary france, and guy fron right has Sauron's Ring of Power in front of him on the table.

I call setup and fake.

And they are all smoking. There is no WAY this was taken on the 14:05 to Clapham Junction last week.

Blackpool fans travelling to the 1948 cup final, but as you say they are also like an early version of the village people.

Did she not praise state schools yet sent his son (I think) to a private one? Quite a few Labour MPs did the same - these MPs might hate the system, but the way forward and/or feeding from the public trough would be too tempting or foolish to bypass.

Is anyone criticizing her for drinking on a train. Not many, good!

Criticizing her for all the rest is fair game.

Yes she is an easy target, yes she gets it because she is black but on most occasion's she deserves it.

We deserve better than this Shadow Cabinet switching benches.

I don't think breaking the Political mould is the right answer but in these Euro Elections I hope they do but the two main parties need better people representing them and the current incumbents might be made to fight for their places.

When I look at her all I see is somebody who has got carried away on the support she has from her ethnic communities, and thinks she’s halfway competent as a result, when in the larger scheme of things she’s terrible.

Doesn’t much matter to me which politician it was or for which party they stand for, if they knowingly break the law they come across as elitist, believing the law is for other people.

In her defence, if I were her I’d be rat arsed everyday just to keep going.

I see this has brought the racist card idiots out in force, even though it's absolutely zero to do with race.

In fact, I would go further. I would say you're racist if you don't criticise a person's wrongdoing, simply because of their skin colour, when you otherwise would.

I always assumed she drunk ale

Apparently it's not illegal.

Dangerous extremists such as the old nanny ;-) have had their political football deflated.

What should be illegal is the prices what the railways charge for drinks.

I do not think anyone deserves to be criticised - each to his/her own - unless the person did something contravening the law or their public office. Why did Ms Abbot not be a wee bit more respectful of the law banning alcoholic drinking on London Transport? She's a public figure part of the establishment and privileged responsible for upholding the law.

She can talk-the talk but cannot walk-the-walk! Can anyone really believe but for her origin she'd be on the front bench of a major British Political Party and representing a suburb in Hackney? With respect to Ms Abbot she ought to have known better whilst travelling on public transport.

I think apologising sincerely after the event is self-serving, and financial induced.

"I am not outraged ,I just think it shows how much of a Hypocrite She is ,wanting to ban Cheap Booze yet she is on a Train Drinking "

The words of a dangerous extremist

TBH I don't know any women who would sit around drinking on Public transport And find it Low that a woman

Should do so , regardless of the Law .

There are some Plebs on this Forum  sad Seething  Vindictive Types

why is banning cheap booze anything to do with drinking on a train?

nice to see a bit of sexism on the forum too

would it be ok for a bloke to drink on a train?

250.3 Policemen

https://youtu.be/hNtEh-rX9No

No its not Alright For a bloke , But I do know Blokes that have or Would , As stated I do not know any women who would .

I do not associate with Rough Boiler types ..

She has given the Opinion there is a problem associated with drinking alcohol ,Other wise why would she want Cheap boozed

banned  ? Next thing she is cracking tins open on London Transport ,Perhaps its her has a drink p[problem .

Not everyone can afford to go to Marks to pay top Dollar for Drink ,Perhaps she thinks Alcohol should be for the Elite  ?

Do you tut tut when the little lady pulls her trolley down the aisle to sell drinks to the passengers?

There is a difference between Long Haul and Short Train Journeys , Plus it is not banned on Such Journeys

When I lived in London the Only women I seen Drinking on the Tube were Alcos ...

Why was drinking alcohol on public transport banned? They had been the causes of minor and serious disturbances/crimes. Anyway, why would one need to drink in public unless in a legally regulated place like an eaterie/restaurant with food and other accompaniments? If I'm not mistaken glass containers eg cups, bottles, etc, have been banned too in sports grounds and some public places, I believe.

Anyone showing the slightest amount of sympathy for fat DI will be reported and banned.

glass containers are banned from some sports grounds

oddly enough at durham cricket they give you plastic cups to drink outside
but allow you to take glass bottles of wine to drink from your own glasses.

funny old world.

plenty ladies enjoying a beer or wine or indeed something stronger whilst
watching the cricket.

I think the cricket and rugby fans (clienteles) are wholly different to football - they perceived to be more sophisticated and upright (socially). For instance, cases of sexual innuendos were usually football related/specific, if memory serves.

Yes they are toffs so any trouble is labelled as high jinks.

Let’s get this right ... nobody is outraged.
The scenario is just comical and embarrassing for DA.
It’s no biggie.

But slurping!

DA has a habitual history of putting her foot in her mouth; hypocrite of the highest order.

Slurping is acceptable,...if eating noodles in Japanese culture. I believe it shows the noodles are tasty and appreciated.
