... "she can't be that thick to have got into Cambridge". I have to say that I have difficulty understanding how - from what I have seen of her - she got into any higher education establishment. Does anyone know? Did she get in on some minority ticket? Or is she in fact really bright but just comes across on TV as being thick as mince? I don't get it.
That's a really interesting question. I understand that she read History under Simon Schama, which would suggest that she is a long way from being thick. How therefore does she manage to come across as she does now? The only answer I can see is that she has never been seriously challenged on either her stance or her views. She has been allowed (or allowed herself) to believe that she is correct in what she says and beyond reproach, either because of her gender or because of her colour. Her party and the current party leader have perpetuated this and any criticism of her is deemed to be solely because of these factors and can therefore be dismissed. This has proved completely corrosive and we can see the end result.

It's when the interviewer asks (and I've seen this on other interviews with her) "have you read the report?" and she says she has, and it's plain as day that she hasn't even looked at it. It's like dealing with a lying 8 year old child who hasn't done their homework. That's the intellectual level she appears to have. It's horrendous.Dog Star said:

I checked his LinkedIn profile earlier in the year and he was on a placement at the British Embassy in Rome learning Italian.
Nice work if you can find it..

He should be facing jail time if this has anything to go by....

More likely it is the fact that her history degree was a very long time ago and she hasn't done anything intellectually challenging since. The brain needs to be exercised after all.The only answer I can see is that she has never been seriously challenged on either her stance or her views.

Add in as well possible signs of early onset dementia and you have how she comes across in interviews.

I was wondering this too. It's the sort of position where you have to do something pretty rotten to get sacked rather than shunted off to a broom cupboard and kept out of mischief.I checked his LinkedIn profile earlier in the year and he was on a placement at the British Embassy in Rome learning Italian.

Wonder what it was and wonder how it was kept quiet.

You really don’t need to be that smart to read history at Cambridge.
But if it is EOD, wouldn’t even the Labour Party have removed her from their ‘front line’?

All I can add for now is whoever coined Abbottpotamus is a genius.
And Abbotcus...Classic, Priti Patel now promising to look at doubling sentences again for people that assault emergency workers (or bite police officers).

Someone really really needs to track down Diane and ask her whether this should apply to her boy or not.

Nothing on the BBC strangely... 
Just the usual: a couple of anti-Trump stories, including the apparent impending breakup of NATO. The incessant, constant digs at anything American or non-left views are becoming ridiculous....
