The new Dianne Abbott appreciation thread

[Gameface]

She probably just needed to visit the gents toilets...

Still refuses to apologise for her “every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us” comments.

Sinks to new low in today’s evening standard they reveal her team copied and pasted part of the conservative manifesto including a section which criisices her, and included that in their own document and sent that out in an email only to be withdrawn a few minutes later!

Yep, a new low. I'm no fan of the Abbopotamus, but that degree of laziness almost smacks of knee jerk desperation to post anything against the woman. Take a moment, consider the fact it's (a) an article on what is one of the most read online news websites; and (b) this is N, P&E, and take a few moments to read the last page or two to see if it's already been posted.

I fully agree, the poster 5 posts up was lazy and failed to describe his link properly.

Good job that I was not lazy

I'm not sure about comedy - I find her delivery comes across as extremely condescending. Or unbelievably stupid. It's one extreme or the other, but never comedy!

What a spong.

Her style of delivery is so special on many a dull commute I’ve had the pleasure of listening to her thoughts and views on a variety of topics.

The tones of Johnathan Humphries and her special style do work rather well. To add to this it’s the content of what she is delivering the effectiveness.
It never fails to bring a smile.

I often wonder where she sits in the 6 box or abcd and how her constituency supporters react to the rather frequent interviews / tv appearances which clearly don’t go to plan. Do they like to support someone who keeps trying but always fails - I don’t understand that you want a passionate competent individual in role.

I often wonder where she sits in the IQ range. Below is the copy and paste of IQ classification at the low end of the scale.
Mental deficiency used to be divided into the following sub-classifications, but these labels began to be abused by the public and are now largely obsolete: Borderline Deficiency (IQ 70-80), Moron (IQ 50-69), Imbecile (IQ 20-49) and Idiot (below 20). Mental deficiency is now generally called mental retardation.

there's something strange with her - she was clever enough to get into Cambridge and yet, and yet...

I think you will find she may have got into university for a reason other than intelligence and ability

[irocfan]

as an aside can we call her out for "...cultural appropriation..."? I mean if it's that for white kids to have cornrows surely her hair shouldn't be straight?

There is no link because I read the story on an old fashioned thing called a ‘newspaper’ .
It was only a tiny one column short article and I can’t find any mention of it Online (it was in the Evening standard and I left my copy on tube).

It's not her hair though.

You've obviously forgotten her sword-wielding period where she invented that look:
