She really should be renamed Ernie Abbott.

Everyone knows that Ernie was a Milkman, and that milk is white - you Racist!
Not chocolate milk!

It is interesting that two major figures of hatred/ridicule for the Tory/UKIP Leave-supporters (Diane Abbott and Gina Miller) happen to be women who aren't white.
It's not interesting, it's bloody obvious why!
I don't recall Gina Miller doing much yet that could be ridculed(?) She seems erudite and perceptive. Exactly the qualities that combine with skin colour, gender and attractiveness to really make the nutjobs hate her and be confused in equal measure.
Diane Abbott deserves to be ridiculed for her abject performance of late. Ballsing up on an intergalactic scale is worthy in itself, but then asserting that her own credibility hasn't been harmed adds arrogance to the mix. She has made herself look ridiculous all by herself.
I did see that Flashy. Huffingtonpost has the video, as they say cringe worthy
Long pause, I'm going to say the number is around 50 ... except the last number I saw before I came on was 100 😯

This comment has has pretty uncomfortable undertones.
Why?
She needs to be strong and stable and never make U turns on, say, snap elections.

no that was the chocolate milk comment, but fortunately it was tongue in cheek rather than some right wingers letting their masks slip in the post local election euphoria 😉
No Flashy he's right, she is clearly incapable of doing the job. In the real world she would just be sacked but Corbyn won't sack his old bed buddy will he?
She's a complete chancer bluffing her way through life.

Why the **** do people think Diane Abbott can't write an article by herself?Ahhahahahaha have you seen her on TV? Yes? That's why!
Writing an article is not the same as being on TV
Correct you can't get someone else to go on TV for you 😆

You keep repeating yourself, what on earth are you going on about?
😆
I suspect he's a bit uneasy about some of the comments he's made about Diane Abbott in the past - it's not just the gaffes this week about which he's triggered. Anyway, as is his wont these days, DA is one of his "easy targets". It's all a bit lightweight, but no great departure from normal.
In the meantime perhaps you could explain your own comment about DA's hair?
Not entirely sure what Flashy is on about....... maybe the algorithm is playing up(?)
In any case, if you invite ridicule, you deserve ridicule. For the umpteenth time, Diane Abbott made herself look stupid. During the interview itself she tries to deflect attention (pathetically) by claiming that the interviewer himself was the origin of one of the ludicrous figures she was spouting. After making a nitwit of herself she then asserts that her credibility has not been damaged - making herself sound arrogant and dismissive into the mix. Ridicule richly earned.
In the post-truth "call a spade* a '****ing shovel' and get elected as the only honest candidate" era she would have been far better saying "do you know what, I'm bored with costed figures, lynch all the bankers". Given the level of the political discourse nowadays it would have been a damned sight better politically.
*No racist connotations - common idiom.
Ridicule is one thing, comments about 'hair' are another.

I would imagine he's satirising one of the regular poster's piss poor racism dog whistle posts.

The point remains - pages of criticism of DA over fluffing some figures; not a peep about TM barefaced lies.

I reckon you're giving him too much credit.
Sorry about the chocolate milk comment. I wish I'd said strawberry milk. Sadly all I could think of was the milk at the bottom of a bowl of cocopops. 😳
Stop digging..
So the inference that Abbott getting slated on here and in the media is down to a bunch of sexist racists? 🙄
I think the inference is that it is a factor in all of this
How true it is I dont know [ not really followed the thread we have enough threads for the tories on here to gloat as it is] as she is pretty divisive as a person
Worth noting the ones doing it are not saying a Thing about the PM have reversed her position on the two major issues - eu and an election- we are currently facing. I guess we need to ask them why they are so one sided
Personally i think its a lack of [political] principles.
I have never voted conservative in a general election before but the thought of a Labour government with those clowns in charge really, really worries me they really aren't capable people. The Lib Dem fella looks weak and would be bullied, which unfortunately only leaves Theresa May looking like prime minister material.
People don't mock May's u-turn on having an election because it's the right thing to do, people mock Corbyn and Abbott because they are deluded fools who are destroying the Labour party with complete disregard. A good friend of mine who is a Labour councillor and union official is really depressed and dismayed with that the party has become what it is, completely unelectable (he thought Milliband was unelectable as well).
The current Labour leader and Abbot are both people with principles while others in the Labour party I am not so sure ...

For those too lazy to click the link / prepare for a major interview
Labour is expected to gain more than eighty million seats after Diane Abbott was asked to count the votes this morning.
Speaking in that breathy, slightly creepy way she has, Abbott declared a huge landslide for Labour across the country – with the Conservatives and SNP facing ‘complete wipeout’ based on her figures.
“Thanks to Diane’s remarkable command of mathematics, Labour have swept to victory with well over 100% of the vote nationwide,” we were told.
🙂
Didn't May say she was going to ban tourism?
