Dianne Abbott

[deggers316]

just seen here being interviewed on bbc news, doesn't this woman annoy you with her useless waffle, and as for the "rug" speechless lol

[emmie]

never liked her much, after the debacle of criticising anyone who sends their child to a private school, then did the same herself, she rather lost any credibility.

[Kathyan]

She tries to sound intelligent, but can't quite pull it off!

[deggers316]

kathyan
i would omit the "quite"

[LazyGun]

She was once memorably corrected by phone on a live TV interview about some issue that had sparked a fierce debate...

"Rug"? Does she wear a wig or a toupee or something? Cannot say I had ever noticed...

[emmie]

it might be a wig, but i wouldn't worry about that so much as bare faced lies.

[LazyGun]

It seems to me that, sadly, bare faced lies seem to be part of the job description for MPs nowadays.

Of course, one persons bare-faced lie might be another persons truth....

[deggers316]

lazy gun yes a wig she had various hairstyles when she was on "this week" prog it obviously a wig,

[emmie]

perhaps, but if caught out shut the hell up, which she doesn't.

[Kathyan]

Deggers, sorry, I was being too kind!

[LazyGun]

@em but again, that characteristic is not unique to her as a politician, is it? I can think of many that act just the same....

[emmie]

so can i, but she will do for a starter.

[Bazile]

Leave her hair piece alone .

Afterall , dont you women slap on the make up to improve the looks - what would you look like without the old face paint ?

[emmie]

i don't wear a wig or face paint..

[pdq1]

For all her mutterings she sounds like a racist.

[daffy654]

I don't like the woman.

Her wearing a wig (or not, as the case may be) is completely irrelevant to anything and is none of anyone's business.

[naomi24]

Can't stand her. Two-faced - and she wears face paint on both.

I wear face paint too, but I don't need nearly as much. ;o)

[ichkeria]

She must be reasonably intelligent being a Cambridge history graduate.

[emmie]

have you actually listened to her, she might be a Cambridge Graduate, but suggest she left her common sense at the door on her way out.

[ichkeria]

I'm going to keep my views on Diane Abbott to myself as I suspect they'd not go down too well in this forum :-) Generally I don't find her any more or less irritating or insincere than a lot of other politicians. Seriously she is pretty switched on even if her views and her er appearance may not be to everyone's liking.
An irritating voice perhaps..

[emmie]

don't care about the hair, that isn't an issue, however many of the things she has stated need some serious scrutiny.
