I travel on the train everyday and i honestly had no clue it was actually illegal. I mean if you've ever been on central line after 9 you would think it was encouraged lol.

The Left need to suck up criticism and stop twisting like a fish on a line trying to justify EVERYTHING they do.

Nobody said it justifies what she did.

It's just very telling that someone was so eager to point fingers at Abbott for breaking a law.... by breaking a law.

The irony.

Imagine reacting to this story with outrage just because the tabloids told you it was outrageous and then calling the people who know this nonstory is ridiculous sheep....

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.

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.

bots 24-04-2019 07:21 AM

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

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.

Oh yeah, Dezzy, you've got to try to understand... I don't like you and I don't want to talk to you. You permabanned me! I wasn't even here. The madness is over.... goodbye, forever this time.
