I can't believe so many Gransnetters are still being horrible about Diane Abbott. I know there have been at least two threads on here recently about her. She has now stepped back from the election campaign citing ill health surely people have to accept that she is ill? She is a very gifted politician from a working class family who went to Cambridge at a time when there were hardly any black students there, let alone women black students. She became Britains 's first black woman MP back in the 1980s. An amazing feat. She receives daily abuse on social media and in the press of the most horrible racist and misogynistic kind. She is still very hardworking and is well thought of in her constituency. Please gransnetters, support rather than attack this brave woman who is probably a similar age to many gransnetters. I am sure you don't mean any harm but it's beyond a joke now.
Well thats true gg but you know what we mean. I was just hoping for some personal choices not just based on politics - so for me, I'd like Jacob to be re-elected. I also like Andrew Mitchell but I was trying to ask for ones that people didn't want.
It's such a dilemma because to be honest I have no faith in any present MP.
Theresa May dis-allowing the Police to do their job properly, stating not enough funding. Perhaps if she lowered the salary of her useless MP's then there would be enough funding for the police and the same goes for Corbyn
