The huffington post! Jesus Crist what's wrong with you. It a George Soros funded, global commie, fake news rag for teens and students. The UN is also a global commie organisation which keeps send their people to the UK to talk us down. But if that makes you proud?

I still cannot place my finger on a reason why people have no problem with Banks using money of various dubious sources yet Soros is always singled out for abuse?

You do realise that the entire concept of Communism and Globalism are at complete odds with each other, right? There is either a conspiracy to turn us all into Communists - i.e., all sharing equally in the wealth and means of production, or the conspiracy is that an Elite exists to control funds and Govt's globally to ensure their form of Capitalism wins out, breaking down international borders and Govt.s to dampen wage demands and ensure goods and services retain the highest margins possible enriching those that own the means of production. They are literally opposite ends of a spectrum.

I don't think logically seeing through an argument is srk's strong point.

It turns out that I am a radical communist over here - because I like the NHS. It helps that I probably stole someone's job as well. Nasty Communist Immigrant trying to turn the USA into Venezuela from the inside!

I think she deserves the abuse, just because others don't get the abuse they deserve, doesn't make it wrong.a

I'm assuming you're referring to the general insults, not the racist death threats?

Of course. She is an oddity - I kind of liked her on the Politcs show she was on, but I also liked Michael Portillo on that. He sounded pretty reasonable, which I simply couldn't square with his political career!

I know you're being flippant, but no one deserves that level of abuse for simply doing their job. Not even Swindon players.

Diane Abbott is a high ranking member of the opposition and was initially very prominent in labours election campaign. That she came across as a simpleton unable to communicate basic facts and unable to cope with public debate was always going to lead to ridicule.
that Labour removed her from the firing line speaks volumes.
it's not like Boris Johnson, Theresa May and the like get away with it while people pick on Abbott is it.
The Tory equivalent I suppose is Nadine Dorries, who is genuinly stupid. But being away from the front line means she avoids the level of attention that Abbott gets .
Racism, death threats and the like I personally see as a separate issue.

Having done some TV work with Portillo he was a generally nice bloke during the afternoon we spent together (shocking pink shirt aside!)
