Didn't do her much good, did it, what was her specialised subject, being an idiot?

Dianne Abbott exemplifies where the university system has gone wrong, Thick people shouldn't go to uni. Uni should be for people who excell in the sciences and (to a lesser extent) the arts But the hurdle has fallen so low that anyone with a gob can get in and bluster their way through a course.

LOL ... but if your in the customs union and single market, and I have the right to reside in Europe, I'll be happy with that ... hard Brexit is dead in the water. 

"I have the right".  As I've said before, yours has been a selfish attitude from the beginning. This is all you've thought about, Fxxh the country I'm alright jack.

Yet she still cannot count.

I'm sure most of those who graduate from Cambridge are highly intelligent. But not all.

When she applied to Cambridge University, "Her history teacher had tried to dissuade Abbott from applying, claiming it would give her ambitions outside her social station, and make her a dissatisfied canteen worker in later life."

 

I totally disagree with that statement, I think she would have made a bloody good 'canteen worker'

It's the mild diabetes and several interviews a day, apparently. To think that she came close to being our home secrestary. And nobody's questioning Corbyn's judgment any more. My bloody god.

It's all going terribly wrong! What will be the next shoe to drop? Will it be the referendum on the agreement? No, that can never happen ... can it?

 

 

 

Tune in next week....................

Try getting through the day without mentioning Germany or Merkel. As for Remainers with fingers in their ears you tend to block those who arguments you disagree with and fail miserably to answer and then complain that Remainers are not answering your posts. When asked to provide evidence of one of your outlandish statements your response was, "don't be facetious".

"EU funding has had a positive transformative effect on Northern Ireland, and on the border regions in particular. The Northern Ireland economy is more dependent on EU funding than any other nation or region of the UK, and its loss could have a devastating effect. Brexit is already giving rise to uncertainty about the availability of future funding, and there is some scepticism over the Government’s undertaking that the post-2020 funding gap will be filled. In view of Northern Ireland’s unique circumstances, we call on the Government to explore during the course of Brexit negotiations means by which it might continue to be eligible, post-Brexit, to apply to some EU funding programmes, in particular for cross-border projects."

Nobody has said I am good, especially me, I am not special like you, but it just shows you where arrogance can get you as opposed to capability and exellence. But if I had the opportunity to be shadow home secretary, who knows, maybe I would do an equally bad job as Abbott.

As former chancellor of the exchequer, George Osborne has faced many a tough question relating to figures but that did not stop him dodging a simple multiplication put to him by a seven-year-old. Sam Raddings asked Osborne what seven times eight equals but the chancellor refused to answer. “I’ve made it a rule in life not to answer a load of maths questions,” he said. 

When I  went to school that wasn't called a load of maths questions just a single simple arithmetic question.

Once London loses the EU financial services industry the whole damn UK may be eligible for EU foreign aid.

I selfishly don't want to live in a country full of narrow minded xenophobes who wreck that country's future because they don't like the whiff of immigrants on their high street ... and deny the young the opportunities as Europeans that they are too old to care about. So yes, you are so right.

That piece of filth Johnson promptly vanished after he got the result he was supposedly in favour of. A chancer, an opportunist no doubt sitting in the wings waiting to cash in on it all once others take the flak. How he would make a credible Prime Minister is beyond me, but of course he wouldn't care as in his mind it is all about him and his ego.

Absolutely right.

Laura's again quite right. But posters like you seem to be incabable of putting such things into perspective. Most people on this forum (myself included) thought that, even with his 'free beer for everyone' manifesto, Corbyn was about as appealing to the mass electorate as a wet fart in underpants. We were wrong. Mainly because he and his trendy purple-haired ground workers managed to motivate the perennially apathetic youth vote. Good for him. I hope that said youth vote has in general more political nous than my star university student daughter and various other young people with whom I've had the mind-numbing experience of discussing politics recently.

 

But, even with all that, and competing with a Tory party that probably produced and campaigned the worst election manifesto in modern British history, Corbyn failed to get himself into a position to form a government. Whilst I would not even attempt to claim that the Tories' election campaign was a success, Labour failed, pure and simple. That's what vogie keeps trying to explain to you. But, for some reason, you can't/don't want to understand this bald fact.

Not much of a success for Tories, really, is it?  Arguably worse than losing.

 

Everyone understands the math- well hopefully!

 

The point is a staggering proportion of the electorate voted for an out and out socialist party that appeared dead and buried.

 

It's also in the nature of these things that the pendulum continues to swing, and I don't see anything but gaffe, dreariness, and disaster coming out of the Brexit camp.

When making attacks of this nature it is prudent to use spell check.

 

 

We all do it.

Is this thread about TM and the EU negotiations or politics in general and flaming other FMs?

More staggering is that they voted for a labour party whos own candidates had little confidence in the leadership

Hey if May can become PM after the job she did as HS there is still hope for you.

I'd agree with you, but we would both be wrong. And can I suggest you don't do personal attacks as I am sure you are well aware it is frowned on here.

[jpinx]

Arguably the biggest political fiasco since forever.  The FPTP system has been shown - yet again - to be totally incompetent at sorting out a concensus government.  Even the Lib/Lab style pact would be better than what we have now -- a turncoat PM supported by a small pack of rabid dogs running an agenda that IS could embrace.

As I have stated previously, I didn't go to university, even though it would have been easier for me than most, having had a very good grammar school education. I preferred to go into business at an early age, where, between that and my inquisitive nature, I got my further education. But thanks for thinking of me as a grad with poor grammar.

I believe that they have rather more confidence now.

TM is the legitimate PM using the same system that has been used since 1884. She needed a stronger mandate for the EU talks, but our wonderful Uni students were more interested in freebies.

 

Just because Labour did not come even close to winning (whining yes, winning no) does not make this a political fiasco.
