NJS 4718 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Just for context, I've heard a couple of low key discussions in the office which I didn't steam in to as I like having a job but the general dismissal of labour and Corbyn is ridiculous. What I would call sensible people steaming in with "terrorists friend" and saying Johnson isn't too bad. No mention of the lying coward at the top. It's not just Sun readers and cuntish pensioners. I did get the impression it's not just Corbyn though which is why I stayed out. It would be worth a shock just for going to work tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Jack Monroe has written 56 tweets today all in support of Dian Abbott. Some are bollocks but some hit the nail on the head as to why she didn't deserve to be driven mad by people in an online world that has no sense of proportion or perspective. I've never tweeted anyone about anything apart from football before but yesterday I was moved to tweet journo Isabel Oakeshot to ask her to do her job of holding the former home secretary to account for the likes of this on her shift: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4540822/Rebels-went-Libya-MI5-blessing-amid-Abedi-probe.html and to stop taking the piss out of someone plainly not up to front bench politics, much like 90% of the Tory cabinet including, on this evidence, May herself. I tried to find the tweet I sent, but it's gone from view. Can the recipient just delete it or have I been blocked?...

I've defended her on here as well. Daily Mail today refer to her just as Corbyn's ex girlfriend, dismissing her 30 years of re-election. Google "Philip Hammond Maths" since he got his HS2 numbers more disastrously wrong than abbott her police numbers. There's one or two references to it come back. Google "Diane Abbott Maths" and it's open season, pages of contempt and ridicule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 34233 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 She's getting the same shit that Corbyn is and McDonnell would too if he were such a buffoon. It's nothing to do with her being female or black. She's working class, went to Oxford etc. but that's all irrelevant when it comes to the criticism she's getting.

Gemmill 52577 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 One thing that the campaign has underlined is what a thoroughly unpleasant cunt May is. An absolutely revolting human being.

Gemmill 52577 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 They've got Sky News on at work. I'd seen pictures online of the huge crowd that Corbyn was talking to. Turned to look at the telly and I don't know how sky had managed their camera placement, but you could have been forgiven for thinking Corbyn was alone in a car park with a microphone. He was literally the only person in shot. Fucking knobheads, Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
