...because, "Tories concede the £1.2 trillion figure was calculated by the Chancellor" doesn't work!

A black woman? Surely, that can’t be true. I’ve heard Mr Abbott on the radio and if anyone is a fawning, gushing, pretentious, middle-class, mindless, white, suburbanite pillock, then it’s Diane Abbott.
Titus is obviously promulgating malicious bollosck again and I call on TechGuy to delete his post.

A quick search via the top right corner shows plenty of jokes at Hammond's expense on a range of subjects.
Ethnicity is not the issue, incompetence is. Diane does have a bit of history when it comes to numbers but it is her choice to exhibit it on the telly.I recall a fair few jokes about Gordon Brown's incompetence as well. And give Javid some time and he'll be targeted too.

reisler - No, "a quick search via the top right corner" does not show "plenty of jokes at Hammond's expense on a range of subjects", and it shows nothing at all on the subject of his numerical cock-ups. And your strawman and false equivalence fallacies are no help either.
You don't get to exclude whatever you want from "the issue". The issue is: Politicians who have made verbal numerical errors being mocked to vastly different degrees. Perhaps you're partly correct and it's not because of their ethnicity; pehaps it's because of their gender; or perhaps it's because of their party, and the different amount and tone of 'reporting'.

Of course the actual facts are,
2 1/2 years ago Diane Abbott made a verbal numerical error,she got confused. Its obvious to anyone who actually saw the footage that she had difficulty remembering the correct figures,there was no deceit intended.
Sajid Javid is a lying fuck who has lied on air and in print,in an attempt to steal votes.
Carefully calculated bare faced lies intended to deceive voters.Either he or someone in his party sat down and spent time juggling actual and imagined figures purposely to deceive,to lie. Another lie to add to an ever increasing list of Tory lies.The first was embarrassing, the second a disgrace

Goes to show that we, as an electorate (sorry, let me get it right, as a newspaper-reading and telly-tit-sucking public) don't like honest, well-meaning but flawed people like us to run the country, they want smooth, self-confident, charismatic, dishonest, criminal scoundrels. And we most *certainly* don't want non-slim non-white women with health issues.
Shrug, stroll on, get over it, and carry on eating Tory puke.
