I'm guessing that somebody had to tell that it was a really stupid thing to post, even if it was some sort of response to Lee Anderson.briantrumpet said:Stevo_666 said:
Oh I spotted the Lee Anderson comment. Salty language but if they're not happy with the standard of their accommodation they are free to go. Fair enough.rick_chasey said:Yes it was

Shame you only spotted the second inappropriate comment eh?
Funny how Abbott deleted her tweet quite quickly don't you think?
Eh? It was stupid, so she deleted it... at least she had enough sense for that (or someone told her to, if she didn't have enough sense).
Have you ever sent/posted anything you've regretted? I sure have.
A friend of mine once thought he had commented to me, in reply to some garbled English, "Are all Americans illiterate?" I pinged back "I hope you didn't 'Reply to All' ", to which he quickly replied "Oh fvck!"
I can't remember if she has a reputation for enjoying the sauce, but I suspect that the reduced critical awareness that that induces is responsible for a large proportion of "Oh fvck, what was I thinking?" moments in modern instant communications. At least the old days you had to put it in an envelope, stick a stamp on it, and find a post box to put it in, probably the next (and sober) day.0 -

All this exchange proves is that Labour have their nutcases, but they have been pushed to the margins. The Tories nutcases get given jobs like Deputy Party Chairman, Home Secretary and Immigration Minister.2

I am a little more sympathetic about regretting posting something stupid in the moment than most, as I'm sure you can imagine.1

In response to 30p. I doubt if it would have crossed her mind without him kicking off.0

Looks like even Labour now think that wealth taxes are a bad idea.

It'll be interesting to see how Labour wave their little leftie magic wand and make it all OK without shafting people for more money.secretsqirrel said:

Bit of a bad thing to have to admit that 13 years of Tory government hasn’t improved the public finances from the height of the financial crisis.0

if your glass is half empty then you will think the leftie magic wand is worn out, if you are an optimist you will think the wand has been nicely warmed upStevo_666 said:

The awkward part is the tories found the "magic money tree" and emptied it.

Austerity politics innit. Europeans loved it. Shame they didn't follow the US or China with a bit of stimi.pblakeney said:

The money tree was found when they were looking for some compliant masks.

Absolutely. Not an unreasonable argument to suggest all that global stimulus is why we're getting whacked by inflation.pblakeney said:The money tree was found when they were looking for some compliant masks.
