Dianne Abbott gaffes again

It was widely reported at the time and I believe it to be true, that the mis-matched shoes story was fake. The picture had been photoshopped. I don’t believe for one minute that DA went out in odd shoes and my OP has nothing to do with her being a Labour MP.

Someone has now been charged with the attempted murder of Sasha Johnson and he’s a young, black male and I doubt she was the intended target. The whole point of this thread was is DA wrong to make a statement likely to inflame racial tension by saying Sasha was targeted because she is an activist for black rights? In my opinion DA was wrong to link the shooting to racism.

I'm neither peeved, cross or amused by jokes that fall flat. tickingbird.

Perhaps, at some point, someone will let you know just how childish your obsession with me is. It's becoming embarrassing but I know it's just because you love me

Pippa Explain how my joke fell flat. Is it because you said so?

Because it's becoming downright weird.

She is 67 and diabetic. If she had have gone out in mis matched shoes, surely the correct response would be concern not ridicule.

One of my friends who was in her late 30s and very on the ball once came to work in odd shoes. Same style but one was black and the other was blue. It took us hours to notice and no one felt the need to belittle her. It happens.

I was 47ish when I went out in mismatched shoes and not diabetic either.

It was a case of having too much to do, being distracted and rushing.
