went to school with a lad intials V.D. - as you say, what on earth were the parents thinking.

Several years ago it made the news when a registrar recommended that Mr Peacock reconsider calling his son Drew...

I went to school with someone whose parents decided V.D. Lee was not a cruel name.

I used to work with a guy called Alan Edwards.

He had a lovely briefcase with his initials in gold on it.

A.S.R.E.

I think his parents were very careful naming him.

Whilst that is certainly sniggersome, I can't help but feel sorry for Diane Abbot. Having your mental decline mocked publicly - and I'm not referring to you Fermit, but in wider discourse - is rather sad.

One of my Managers was Simon Heath... aka Sheathy.

There were two Kerrs as well & I had to ask...One did say yes, but along with wry smile.

I am conflicted to be honest. On the one hand I agree with you (and her achievements are to be admired: in those days a black woman of an immigrant family in university, Cambridge no less, must've been a rarity so not stupid) on the other I find her a vile individual how seems/seemed to take delight in spreading discord...


Anywho, back on topic

Largely agree with that, but as per CDG's comments it may be a cruel thing to mock. That said, if she genuinely is loosing her marbles then there is no longer any place for her in front line politics.

That doesn't seem to bother Americans.
