I really can't wait for the new advert.

It wasn't just a canned cocktail... it was an M&S canned cocktail...

What an evil bitch!

A true representative for the people :clap1:

Aww good on her :joker: Living her best life!

Christ some comments online you'd swear she'd kicked a puppy! :omgno:

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

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.

Yeah it's just the London overground/underground network where its illegal

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.

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

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:

Hope it was refreshing, bless her!

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.

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.

Meh, it's an example of people jumping on a nonstory to rubbish the side they don't like. Very petty.

I wonder when this even was. Even she's not dim enough to wear a coat like that in the weather we've had since like Thursday...

Sure
But she is a Future Home Secretary
and for 11 years Signs have told everyone not Drink on the
TLR line

And so?

I’d be in prison by now if the contents of the bottles I’ve drunk on trains were inspected.
