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.

it would be ironic if Abbot single handed turned round M&S's fortunes :laugh:

You wouldn't care if any randomer was having a quiet drink on a train, you wouldn't get morally outraged over it. People are just clutching their pearls in faux outrage because of who it is, not because the act is actually offensive in any way.

Utter pettiness.

yes how dare people be annoyed that a senior politician is caught breaking the law by drinking on a train in a city that is in the grip of a drugs and alcohol fuelled crime wave :fist:

and not just any politician, a nasty hypocritical one with a track record of saying one thing and doing another


some people:shocked:

You bought an M&S mojito as an act of disobedience? That showed 'em, eh?

Frankly I have only seen this story on TiBB, I don't read the tabloids. Maybe that's the answer?

Just so you know, Dezzy... I have you on ignore. Because that's possible now. So I don't have to read any more posts from you about other people's moral and/or faux outrage... because you know, you're the only one I ever see these traits emanate from. Anyhoo.... goodbye.

By all means, run away from the argument that you know you can't win.

Keep waving that white flag proudly.

He broke a rule just as she did. They have strict rules about photos/videos that are for personal use. Otherwise it's a no no.

BUT Abbott didn't break that particular rule so you aren't interested. :hee:

Take a photo by all means.

Sell it to be published by the Sun? No no.

It's quite a different stance, Marshy, than the one you took over Seann Walsh and Katya being papped in public then published in the tabloids. You thought that was fine, why is this different?

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.

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

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.

Northern Monkey 24-04-2019 04:17 PM

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.

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. 24-04-2019 07:31 PM

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.

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