    I only read into something that is put in front of me. If I made as many mistakes at work as she has I would have been sacked. Degree or no degree she has made some stupid mistakes and the reason why she is ridiculed is because she is in a position of power.

    So they get elected on their party's manifesto, spend the next 18 months working tirelessly against one of the key points of that manifesto 'to deliver Brexit' remorselessly calling for a 2nd referendum (because they didn't like the result of the 1st one) and then leave their party (which assisted their election) but refuse to allow their constituents the opportunity to reconsider their original election of these arrogant self-centred hypocrites.

    Once again I can only describe these politicians as c*nts...

    And many in their constituancies are demanding a by-election. One of them had a meeting with the local members who overwhelmingly voted to leave and she promised them she would respect their views and the result only to do this. They are not very happy and some are disgusted with her.
    As I posted earlier.... Soubry said at the Press conference "we don't need a GE we need a peoples vote"

    Speaking during a Westminster Hall debate on the intimidation and abuse of candidates in elections, Ms Abbott said she had received rape and death threats, and had been described as an "ugly fat black b****" and a "n*****".

    So her being a black woman in a position of power has no bearing on it ? Ok, my mistake.

    That article is 2 years old and from the sub standard. Not everyone would have seen this. As I said I didn't know all this crap otherwise my response to Staines would have been different.

    I wonder how credible they were. As I say, several people have been jailed for threats to Berger. I haven't heard of any brought against Abbott's antagonists, though I agree it's intimidating to receive them all the same

    Now you are playing the race card. Where did I mention her race? I only mentioned her ability.

    Pensioner Roy Brown was handed a community order in last year after sending her a letter threatening to ‘burn her alive’ and calling her ‘black vermin’....the **** got of lightly in my opinion.

    Emily Thornberry came in for a huge amount of criticisms for crass stuff she came out with. But I agree, quite a bit of the stuff against Abbott will be racist sadly

    I asked a question Ellers, if you don’t want to answer that’s cool.
    Do you think her race and sex have anything to do with the abuse she gets....even just a little bit.

    No I don’t, not to the extent that Abbott is anyway.

    The way things are going now the likelyhood is there will be one election or another in less than 18 months.

    Actually the opposite is now likely as none of the defectors will vote down the government as they would be turkeys voting for Christmas. Every defector will increase May's likelihood of seeing out her term...

    Not from me, but probably from other people.
    You need to look at your original post.
    You have gone from someone being ridiculed, to my degree, to race and sex?
    My only point is that she makes a lot of mistakes in her job.... And 'bloody yes' I will ridicule because her job has an impact on our lives and if she is making mistakes then that is a concern. My mocking of her is a nice way of saying do you job properly and know what you are doing!
