    I don't even know what Woman's Hour is mate.

    Abbott can't string three words together and that's enough for me.

    You could have put this in your other post. The one where you also quoted my post but agreed with it.

    If this little gem came to you as an afterthought you could just have edited the other post. Easy as that.

    Thanks for that tip mate. Always happy to defer to the more experienced poster.

    I intend to send my progeny off to private school to keep them away from filthy little common oiks. If that means they befriend decent people who go on to have influence and importance then I do not see that as any bad thing whatsoever.

    I'm sure they'll enjoy blowing the prefects or getting a length from the rugger team. Who definitely aren't gay.

    Really, I have a real concern that she will be in a position of power. Surely you have to look at the bigger picture

    The embarrassing dimwits mentioned on here are a danger to society as a whole and to simply move them on isn't good enough. They should be publicly sacked with no payout and only the pension accrued whilst in the job.
    The harder pill for me to swallow is that their leaders have shown such poor judgment as to have got them on board and stuck with them. And these ***** are asking us to put our faith in them on Thursday, I wouldn't trust them to clean the ******* toilet.

    That would appear to be exactly what you're not doing.

    FYI the bigger picture is a government in power with such contempt for the British public they were happy to submit a manifesto that was totally uncosted, a leader not even pretending to not be owned by dacre and murdoch, a pm so weak that she can only be in a room full of vetted tories and crumbles when asked difficult questions that's about to lead us through Brexit negotiations, the systematic dismantling of the NHS, the clear intention to remove basic freedoms by fearmongering about terrorism, a foreign policy so misjudged it could lead to nuclear war, the obvious sideshow of intending to sneak legislation through the Brexit process, a party that believes whole heartedly that a child's breakfast should cost pennies, a school system hurting as much as the NHS, a party that argues that zero hour contracts count as employment because they understand that those who just work to survive are inherently subservient to the system in which they live. But don't let me get in the way of your hubris about one woman

    I'm sorry but that one woman is potentially going to home secretary. So by any stretch of the imagination that has to be give. Some consideration

    That "quip" has already been made. It hasn't improved with repetition. However, I will elaborate. My room mate at University was a PSB. He was a good lad actually and we got on well and stayed mates afterwards. He got a 2:2 degree and now works for one of the top law firms in the country. If he had been from a state school he wouldn't have got in with a first class degree.

    I think as others have said you would see a reshuffle Friday morning so I wouldn't let it stop you voting for what you believe in

    She's left the campaign so I assume labour can now count on your vote?

    Irrespective of her ability to do her job, the electorate in her constituency are the judge of her abilities and will determine whether she is elected. Once she is elected as MP, then it is up to the party leadership to determine her role within that party - either as a cabinet minister or shadow minister - if they deem she is up to the task.

    If Labour do win, plenty of big names are also available for the top jobs - but whether Corbyn will forgive their attempted revolt is another matter.
