It was clearly all too much for poor old Maria Caulfield who deleted her twitter account when this story broke last night.

Abbott is just shit. Or rather she comes across as shit in interview.
Therefore she is a figure of ridicule

Which is fine. But the point is that other figures of ridiculed are not also ridiculed. Not to the same degree anyway.

This was the original quote I just cannot put my finger on why people single out Diane Abbott for specific vitriol its really strange, its almost like there is something specifically about her that offends or riles many right wingers? Can't be that or they'd all be piling into Raab and Mark Francois
they do
They (right wingers) don't. The same right wingers who so deride Abbott absolutely love Hard Brexiter Francois and "Didn't know about trade going through Dover and Calais, wants to privatise the NHS" Raab

News: Boris Johnson insults all working-class men, single mothers, their children, black people, muslims, gay people, and pretty much anybody that is not a straight, white, toff.
Also news: Traitor Jeremy Corbyn doesn't watch the Queen's speech*
*He visits homeless shelters instead.

Not to anywhere near the extent Abbott does. I'd wager she gets more alone than the entire conservative party collectively do.

And rightly so. But horlock asked what it might be about Abbott specifically that caused so many right wingers to latch on to her? And I suggested it wasn't stupidity as GR said, or else those same right wingers would pile in to Francois and Raab. Which they don't

But the answer is the same She come across as stupid in interview (and is part of the left, whether percetion or actually ). Therefore the right attack her as a soft target. They are hardly going to do the same to their own man. The "left" do though. I may be wrong, but I read Horlock's post as suggesting it was because she was black.

The poor Tory Councillor did have an easier solution but I do empathise with her predicament. I'm not a lot younger than your average Tory councillor these days. By my own stupidity, I had locked myself in to our Village's isolated outdoor pool. I was in charge of closing it this particular September night. I had just a pair of trunks and a T shirt. It was pitch black and raining! I had to somehow scale a 6' fence topped by protective barbed wire. Had to move garden furniture against the fence, then swing precariously over the fence, picking up a few grazes/cuts before falling into a bed of stinging nettles. I must admit to being bloody glad no sweet young girl or other passer-by witnessed my humiliating escape. The wife was however far from sympathetic when I returned bloodied, underdressed, soaked and bedraggled.

Sadly none. Abbott has 1 in history, which was my worst subject at school.
