Let's face facts - Diane Abbott probably isn't the sharpest knife in the Westminster drawer:
...why would it be the British government's job to provide assistance? And why would the Shadow Secretary of State for Health be asking about it? Doesn't the silly woman have enough on her plate right now? (Come to think of it, I don't suppose the fluting blancmange ever feels she has enough on her plate.) As for left-wing child-rearing standards...
He may well be - there's certainly a broad range of opinion on the subject - but I'm not sure the encouragement of hatred, prejudice and the use of the "c" word amongst children is to be applauded. Maybe this explains the emergence of a generation of tender little snowflakes who assume that anyone whose opinions deviate from the left-liberal orthodoxy they've been spoon-fed from birth are automatically viewed as evil monsters who must be silenced at all costs.
Speaking of the bien pensant fascists demanding that the votes of over 17 million Britons be discounted on the grounds that anyone who voted Leave is too old, stupid, common, racist and easily swayed to vote the right way, one's heart bleeds copiously for them - I suspect Goliath felt much the same way when that stone smashed into his bonce:
They missed the BBC and Sky News off the list.
As for those dreadful lies which are supposed to have bamboozled pro-Leave troglodytes, I'm still waiting for George Osborne to shut down the stock exchange. Maybe he'll do it tomorrow.
There is only one 'r' in Nigel Farage's name. It seems the child can't even spell properly
ReplyDeleteI expect her parents are both teachers who think being able to spell correctly is a sign of patriarchal oppression.
DeleteThe BBC covered the demo very sympathetically yesterday, as you'd expect. They seemed to look for the more reasonable folk in the crowd, not the nutters, as they would if anyone on the right were demonstrating.
ReplyDeleteThey interviewed a pleasant looking young woman who was massively pregnant. She really shouldn't have been there, but it was what she said that really caught my attention. She conceded that the vote had gone against her wishes, "I realise that the vote was democratic, but..." Sorry love, there are no buts with this....you lost. The propaganda machine heavily favoured the Remainers, you had presidents, church leaders and the BBC all rallying to the cause... and you still lost! Suck it up, get over it and let's behave like grown ups and not spoiled, indulged children having a tantrum.
Not only that, Mr. Milton, it appears that George Osborne even called in the heavy mob from Germany to twist voters' arms:
Delete"George Osborne asked Germany to stress the “irreversible” nature of a Brexit vote in the build up to last month's referendum, German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble has said.
Schauble warned in mid-June that “In is in. Out is out” when it comes to Single Market access, but he has now admitted he did following a request from the Treasury.
Speaking to Germany newspaper Die Welt this weekend, Schauble said: “George Osborne asked me to come to London to strengthen the 'Remain' camp and to show that a proposed referendum on United Kingdom membership of the European Union would be an irreversible step.
“Each voter had to know: Just who is a member of the club, the rules of the club has a say. That's why I said this sentence.”
A Treasury spokeswoman did not respond to request for comment."
What is really beginning to get on my nerves about BBC and Sky coverage is their seeming unwillingness to focus on the ructions between European governments and the EU over the latter's refusal to hand Cameron one or two "wins" to help him sell the "reformed EU" argument. Seems Merkel wants Juncker to carry the can and resign. Why is the EU's key role in losing the referendum not being highlighted? They were quick enough to feature the blighters when they were trying to make our flesh creep! And why aren't the Remain whiners livid with the EU for helping to kill their precious dream? I really don't get it.
There is currently a serious worldwide shortage of helium so the chemical companies will soon be seeking out people like Abbott armed with their catheters and cylinders. I believe the extraction process leaves you speechless for a long time. And very sore.
ReplyDeleteA speechless Diane Abbott? What a glorious prospect. Could we add Nichola Sturgeon and Anna Soubry to the list? The people a few doors down from us have some sort of terrier cross-breed which has the most revolting, nerve-shredding bark I've ever heard: it shrieks at their front gate several times an evening and at least once horribly early in the morning. They use its hysterical screaming as a signal to let it back in the house. The rest of us, of course, don't know the little shit is out there, so it always comes as a horrible shock (there it goes again, as I type this). I suspect Nichola Sturgeon's voice has much the same effect on many of us, and she has hardly been off our sodding screens since Independence Day, and (probably because of my age) I can never seem to switch channel before she starts yapping away. I'm sure a one-minute onscreen warning or an introduction consisting of something much longer than, 'Nichola Sturgeon joinsus now from Edinburgh. What's your reaction to today's news?"would be much appreciated by the majority of viewers south of the border.
DeleteI dutifully tuned in to "Today" this morning to hear Blair giving his reaction to Chilcot. Who did the BBC go to for an immediate reaction from the Labour Party? You guessed it. Ms Abbott : " We do not play Westminster games. Jeremy does not engage in the politics of personal destruction. Jeremy and I will stand with the families of the deceased." It is a sort of toxic mix of arrogance, stupidity and utter lack of self awareness. What's with the BBC and Abbott [and the BBC and Caroline Lucas, for that matter?]. Why are we constantly subjected to the one-dimensional witterings of these two ghastly people? God, they wear you down.
DeleteThe province of Davao del Norte does exist, it's just in the Phillipines.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ben. And it is suffering from drought, which is sad, of course - but as The Philipines is (are?) a key ally of the United States (and a former US colony) I think the world's richest country is probably better placed to offer assistance, and I can;t for the life of me imagine why Ms Abbott would expect the UK government to spend British taxpayers' money on the problem.
DeleteAnyway, I hope you've emailed your valuable piece of information to Diane, who is evidently in need of some help herself.
