Diane Abbott would be in charge of home security and immigration.

Suziewoozie there was no critism in post to you, I just asked where and who had posted "racist remarks".

There are two posters on this thread with the same initials, most of the time I have no idea to which of us you are referring/addressing your post/comments?

Only one trouble with that - it's rather difficult to read a deleted post.

I think there have been quite a few 'daft' threads which have been started recently which have inevitably received daft responses.

Not saying, of course, that this was a 'daft thread', although I am left wondering if God does recognise man-made borders.

You could shorten my name to Gg Suziewoozie. Just for clarity. Or just G if you like.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 06-Nov-19 17:23:23

Gonegirl I wasn't be stroppy about the initials, just confused at timeshmm

Gonegirl Wed 06-Nov-19 17:24:53

I know GrannyGravy. It can be confusing.

I haven't RTFT, but has anyone else seen this in support of Ms Abbot? Only fair to put the positives, I think.

We believe you ?

grapefruitpip Wed 06-Nov-19 17:59:47

is it for Lesbians?

MaizieD Wed 06-Nov-19 18:01:33

Would it matter if it was, Gfp?

grapefruitpip Wed 06-Nov-19 18:25:57

I might be more inclined to buy it.

petra Wed 06-Nov-19 18:29:23

is it for lesbians ????

Callistemon Wed 06-Nov-19 18:49:35

I did say that I thought that Diane scrubbed up well but that doesn't mean that I am gay/lesbian or whatever.

I do think she does, though.

suziewoozie Wed 06-Nov-19 18:56:41

Do now we’re into silly jokes about lesbians now are we? Very grown up

Callistemon Wed 06-Nov-19 18:58:46

I can't possibly wade through all that (Glamour magazine)

Fennel Wed 06-Nov-19 19:00:43

As Home Secretary I think she would do very well in the area of developing policies etc. Because of her background, which is much more cosmopolitan than most LP MPs.
She would need a good backing of civil servants to prepare her speeches.
She's had so much flak over public speaking.

Gonegirl Wed 06-Nov-19 19:42:42

That's a good magazine. I've just bought someone's birthday presents from Battersea Dogs Home that came under 'Lifestyle'.

Gonegirl Wed 06-Nov-19 19:43:17

Didn't see anything about Diane Abbott though.

lemongrove Wed 06-Nov-19 19:48:54

Petra ?

grapefruitpip Wed 06-Nov-19 19:49:23

sorry suzie, it was a genuine question, so sorry

petra Wed 06-Nov-19 20:09:57

suiziewoozie
i certainly wasn't making jokes about lesbians.
My post was intended as humorous Re the very odd comment from grapefruitpip. How someone could look at Glamour magazine and think it refers to lesbians, well, all i can say, is, ????

Now if it had been Diva or Curve I could understand the comment.

grapefruitpip Wed 06-Nov-19 20:20:05

sorry, genuine mistake.

No not all of South Wales Pantglas I can assure you.
