[Diane Abbott 'sorry' for drinking
mojito on TfL train
The frontbencher received
supportive messages in reply
to her apology with one person writing:
"I've never felt more represented".
The snap of the shadow home secretary
began doing the rounds on Twitter
after it appeared in The Sun,
which showed her sipping from
a can of M&S mojito on a Transport
for London Overground train - which is banned.
The Labour frontbencher tweeted
an apology for drinking the minty
alcoholic beverage, which is made
with white rum and lime flavours.]

Drinking a can of mojito on a train being front page news is embarrassing.

Just saw this :joker:

[Oliver_W]

Oh who cares.

Is she a terrible Shadow Home Sec? Yup.

Does she embarrass Labour whenever she's on tv? Often.

Is she a good local MP? Probably, she's been doing it for decades.


Does it matter if she had a drink on a train? Nope. Not unless she was abusive in her drunken state, which she wasn't.

if mp's dictate the way ordinary people behave, then they need to follow the same rules. It may not in itself be the biggest crime, but it's just another example of the hypocrisy shown by so many mp's

Absolute queen. It was a bank holiday and the sun was out. Normal queen

Sure but not on that Train Line
she is a MP

Hardly like she was drunk and disorderly. But hey if it distracts people from the real news it's serving its purpose.

Yeah I'm sure sipping on a beverage from M&S is the most illegal thing done by a politician this decade.

Rees-Moggs could shoot someone in the face on live national TV and The Sun would only condemn him if his victim happened to be white. Most tabloids with influence are owned by or have ties to Murdoch at this point and he'll make any news that makes Labour look bad front page news whether it's worthy or not.

after seeing this i treat mesen to an m&s mojito on the way back from leeds

I actually didn't know it was illegal to drink on trains? Every train I have been on has had some peopl drinking as far as I remember, generally loud and lairy too which I doubt Abbott was. I also am fairly sure I remember some of the trains having a bar! Not a bar bar, but a little one, usually in 1st class..but available for all :S

On this TLR line
the ban has been going for 11 years

[joeysteele]

She isn't that bright.
Should have bought a bottle of other stuff,drank thst first then emptied this other drink into that bottle.
Suggesting it was only pop.


If anyone thinks people don't get around not legally drinking on trains, they are mistaken.
At least she did hers openly.
Although hardly the crime of the century.

I'm not going to condemn her on this.
Absolutely loads get away with this all the time.
It's a bit of a draft rule in my opinion anyway.

Everyone who travels regularly on London overground trains is well aware you can't drink on them. Like you can't drink on the Tube.

The woman is a liability. Forget drinking on a train, it's her political track that makes her look like the dickhead that she is. Like many politicians - on all sides - she'd never get a real job in the real world.

[Cherie]

There are signs up everywhere, if she wants to break the law that is up to her but its hard to take her seriously if its one rule for her and another for everyone else, I can't say in many years of travelling on London trains I have ever seen anyone drinking alcohol apart from very occasionally and they are usually drunk

Not sure anyone goes to that bother, most people travel with water it is so hot and crowded, why is it a daft rule? half the time you are standing on these trains so you don't want to be standing next to someone swigging alcohol, these are not leisure trains where you are sitting at a table and a bar on board, these are trains used to transport thousands of workers and tourists every day

[Livia]

A bit like when she attacked Blair and Harriet Harman for sending their kids to fee-paying schools... but keeping quiet about the fact she also sent her own son to a fee paying school to. Some animals are more equal than others.

Fair enough, have never been to London and just kind of assumed trains everywhere were the same :laugh:

I agree shes a bit of a mess in general. However, I find the massive massive uproar about this incident to be a bit..over the top. But most criticisms of her seem to be generally. Shes a **** politician.no doubts about that, but the abuse she gets is..a bit much IMO

Ahh right. I get it. Its kind of like 'the metro' up here then, just presumably busier. Again, I hear train I think..well..proper train.

Shes an idiot tbh. With stuff like that, did she never think that maybe it would come out..before she spoke :laugh:

Tbf I presume it's to tackle the drunks/alcoholics who are a nightmare on public transport.

Obviously people like Abbott aren't like that, but it's easier to just have a rule of no alcohol I suppose.

if she was a half competent mp nobody would probably give a crap. Unfortunately, she subjects the general public to abuse nearly every day with her hypocrisy (this isn't the first time) and her scandalous behaviour and stupidity. What goes around comes around.

Yes, good points.
I can take all that on board.

[joeysteele]

This too and extremely strong point.

I do agree she is a liability.
Seems to always end up putting her foot in it rather than thinking about where she's going.

I bought an M&S mojito the following day not because I want to suck up with Hackney Abbott or Corbyn - in fact I very much dislike them both, and I'd never vote Labour in its current state. However, I'm sick of the media covering small fry stories like this and acting like its groundbreaking news when they stay silent on much much larger issues, or give it little airtime. This for me was more of an act of disobedience (not that it really would've gone noticed) to these tabloid newspapers which seem to have nothing better to do with their days.

Get over it, you were banned for about ten minutes and it was never going to last more than that.

So, are you going to respond to my points refuting your whole 'people are sheep' **** or are you going to run away from an argument you know you won't win by pretending to stick me on ignore while continuing to respond to what I have to say?

Your choice but don't pretend that sticking people on ignore in a debate is anything other than an admission of defeat.

We're talking about the rules and regulations of the train Livia. The same rulebook the one about alcohol comes from.

I'll answer your question when you illustrate how on earth it's in anyway linked to what I said.

[Marsh.]

No, there isn't. They're both rules regarding travel on that train. No difference at all.

Honestly,I couldn’t give a shiz if Abbott sniffed coke out of Jeremy Corbyn’s arse crack on the TFL line.Just as long as she NEVER gets into government.

[armand.kay]

LOL... know what you mean.

it's a literal nightmare coming home from a late shift

[Marsh.]

Helping to expose criminals on her majesty s trains. They are happy that the pic was taken and encourage this rather than confrontation as it could lead to stabbing.

Making a shiv out of that can is she?

[armand.kay]

i'm sure her majesty is stocking up on the m&s gin cocktails as we speak

It used to be the District Line for me, to East Ham. The last train was always quite an education...

Both the Metropolitian Police Service and British Transport Police will support TfL staff in enforcing this ban. Any person suspected of committing a public disorder offence in refusing to comply with this ban may therefore be arrested

where you cant be arrested for taking a photo

Nobody said it was an offence to take a photo.

It's an offence to sell that photo commercially.

They broke a rule in their giddiness to point fingers at someone else breaking a rule. Hilariously ironic.

[Marsh.]

Doubt anyone in that position would be arrested. They'd either be asked to dispose of it or, at worst, leave the train.

Arrests will be for drunk and disorderely, as that's mainly what the rule is attempting to combat.

I think their rules on photography refers to professional shoots and filming. I'm not convinced that using your phone to take a pic is against the law.

So Marshy... You're absolutely fine with Diane Abbott breaking the rules, but when it comes to the person who shopped her, you become a stickler for the rules?

One doesn't cancel out the other.

Who said it cancelled anything out?

I'm pointing out the hilarious irony of someone being so eager to point fingers at Diane Abbott for breaking a rule... by breaking a rule themselves.

You then replied with some irrelevance about Sean(n) Walsh, which sounded more like a defence of them than anything I have said.

Sure Jan.

Again, it's about the use of the picture/footage. Not the equipment used to capture it.

Hmmm...I reckon, if it was Rees-Mogg, or Boris, sipping a cocktail on the underground, someone selling the picture would be much more acceptable.

I'm yet to see or hear any evidence that the picture was sold.

Quite a campaign you're on here, Marshy.

Trolling.

Case not even considered.

:joker:

No campaign love.

I pointed out an irony and yourself and LT presumed it was a justification for Abbott and then assumed it had something to do with Sean Walsh.

Both wrong I'm afraid. Sure you'll get over it.

Well... I've not said I think it's unacceptable to take the picture.

I'm pointing out the irony of them pointing at Abbott "Ooh look at you breaking a rule! Naughty!" Whilst breaking one themselves.

Anything beyond that you've invented.

She is the Shadow Home Secretary.

[Marsh.]

She is the Shadow Home Secretary.

So?

That means those who aren't are above the rules? They're incapable of being hypocrites?

Whether she's Shadow Home Secretary or a Fairy Godmother it doesn't change it.

In the grand scheme of things both rulebreaks are incredibly petty to be devoting so much space of our national newspapers to it really. But then we don't expect anything other than embarrassing drivel from the Sun anyway.

You don't see the difference between the shadow Home Secretary drinking booze on the a train when it's against the law... and some random taking her pic?

I should say I kind of understand your claims of hypocrisy, but I really don't understand your defence of Diane Abbott.

I haven't defended Diane Abbott?

You're making that up.

The rules about images are as much the law as the rules about alcohol. So you're not only picking and choosing the people the rules apply to, but now the rules themselves.

I remember about a month and a bit ago I posted about beggers on the train; I was advised that was illigal so I challenged the next one I saw.

Looked a bit like that fat slob to be fair.
