She's another good argument against tokenism in extremely important public positions. Hopefully we'll see her sacked and if they have to promote another woman let's get Priti Patel promoted - didn't really want to sack her anyway. That would be a good appointment.
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 27 April 2018 Author Posted 27 April 2018 That would be the Priti Patel forced to resign over another matter?

I was thinking about a Conservative team in a few years and I think she would be there. Gove as PM, Rees-Mogg as Chancellor, Cleverly in the Foreign Office and Priti on home affairs - it's a dream team.

Yeah, I couldn’t be arsed going back and seeing what that was all about. I did see Diane Abbott mentioned, has she said something silly again?

All the work Cameron did to try and dispel the commonly held belief that the stories are bunch of well educated higher class folk that don’t give a shit about anyone else seems like a wasted effort given the current line up.

DJ Barry Hammond Posted 27 April 2018 Author Posted 27 April 2018 (edited) Ah! Just read the Daily Express report. it is interesting the quote reads ‘costume’ but all of the criticism refers to ‘costumes’. Read in context, I understand what Dianne is saying and wouldn’t choose to take offence - she’s making a valid point, even if the language is clumsy (that Jews in traditional dress are targetted because of it). For me it’s opportunist outrage - the fact it’s Diane Abbott is as much a part of it as what was said. Its also interesting - am I seeing that those who would normally bemoan ‘political correctness has gone mad’ weighing in here? Edited 27 April 2018 by DJ Barry Hammond

I don’t think it does - week opposition and a policy high on the working class agenda (Brexit / immigration) are conditions that won’t remain constant. Anti-establishment sentiment won’t go away after Brexit - it will just focus itself elsewhere.

I hope it doesn't but no sign of change yet from local election results.

Part of the reason Brexit dominates is because it’s been linked with the cause / solution to other social problems within society. So I see a cliff edge effect coming - once people feel Brexit has been done, attention will shift.

If he loses then the next time round they'll be a Labour landslide. Edited 27 April 2018 by Guest
