Just a reminder she's on Question Time tonight - going up against Jordan Peterson

Oh wow - this will be a good one to watch.

Yeah, that could be TV gold. Not that she'd even notice.

It has the potential to be TV gold.... the woman is a barely functioning cretin.

This - just this...

Ditto - I noted that in the other thread

But if she’s so bad, who keeps voting her in?

You could stick a red rosette on a jobby - and her constituents would still vote for the jobby.

I think she's taken her falsers out

[stinkyspanner]

Stop waving your fingers around you silly moo.
Why are the audience clapping her?

[Ganglandboss]

Flabbott just said the jobs that working class people can do are no longer there in her sh*thole of a constituency. Really? Working class people can only do certain types of job because of the family they were born into?

[covmutley]

I think she has a point on jobs. We don't value vocational education, semi skilled jobs moved abroad. Large companies are not bringing apprentices through. Some companies have been getting employees from Europe instead. Etc. Etc. That's not to say there aren't any jobs, or hope, of course.

I also think part of the problem is the victim mentality. We are teaching kids that they won't get a good job, Will never be able to own a house, or retire etc

I totally agree. What I found insulting it the suggestion that people are only suitable for a particular type of work because of the social class they were born into.

[covmutley]

I take your point. But let's not kid ourselves, it is far more likely that children born to middle class parents area far more likely to end up in better employment.

[Gameface]

I didn't see it but she must've acquitted herself well for once, if jobs are all that's being discussed.

And not just that. It’s not ok to get all shabby just because you don’t have a job. The woman in the audience denying these youth are in gangs. Dream on love. The exterminator guy was a bit scary

Agree. You usually find the 'ethnic' members of the audience are in total denial about who's mainly involved in knife crime and talk down the benefits of SAS, while everyone else knows damn well what the problem is but daren't say it (apart from exterminator guy that is - who's right).

More likely but far from impossible or improbable given decent parenting and parental encouragement.
