Is This Right?

Dont worry it's the Queens ring not Jezza's but my question is really about does anyone trust Ms Abbott with the Nations Secrets given her hard left views?

Is that really necessary?
What do you think Ms Abbott is going to do with the Nations secrets?

[Mothman]

In short - no.

The woman is a weapons grade moron - a shrill, devisive racist with absolutely nothing of worth to add to any debate. Along with the rest of Corbyns devotees she is responsible for removing a huge chunk of democracy from the current political scene by being woefully inept at providing a half decent opposition. Corbyn, MacDonald and Abbott exist by promoting the politics of envy and rabidly regurgitating nonsensical 6th form politics - it's laughable.

Thankfully it's likely to be a hypothetical question as I can't see these muppets gaining power.

I agree with Islay. The controversy is to do with kneeling before the queen, not Abbott's promise to keep the nation's secrets.

If I were asked to swear on the Bible, I would probably just do it, rather than explain that I'm an atheist and the book means as much to me as Aesop's Fables. That doesn't mean I'd think it ok to lie.

[Gromit]

It's all a load of stupid ceremonial bolux to make the Queen feel important. There isn't really any point to the Privy Council. She won't have any state secrets to keep so the question is irrelevent.

I suspect the question has just been posed so you can make the distateful kissing Jezza's ring joke - is that setting the tone for the day?

[Old_Geezer]

What has someone being politically left or right wing got to do with it ?

[Gromit]

OG
If they are left of ymb they must be communist and will give all our secrets to the Russians. Or similar such nonsense.

[bednobs]

well as she has to do it to do her jb,i dont see what the problem is

[ToraToraTora]

well she's never been worried about going against what she'd like us to do. remember her stance on private education whilst at the same time sending her own kids to private schools?

[youngmafbog]

//What has someone being politically left or right wing got to do with it //

Well if on the hard of either side i would say yes.

I like Mothman's post at 8.30 ...

the "weapons-grade" description was most recently applied to Trump, but I'm sure he won't mind you using it

// the "weapons-grade" description//
