Diane Abbott: Slipped Disc


Pink News had an "Exclusive interview:" with the Labour leadership candidate Diane Abbott, yesterday.
It was conducted by the hopeless Jessica Geen.
Example hopeless and clueless quote; "I tell her that I know gay men who live in Hackney – her constituency – who are too scared to hold hands with their boyfriends in public for fear of being attacked."
No!!! Say it ain't so, Jessica!
Ms Geen isn't afraid to tell it like it is; "She [Abbott] isn't afraid to link the issue [youth homophobia] with certain cultures, citing reggae artists from her parents' homeland in Jamaica who have "horrible homophobic lyrics".
"[Abbott] said: "You challenge them and they say, oh no, we don't have homosexuality here. But I go to Jamaica all the time, and there are gay people like everywhere else. I think it's interesting why people of certain cultures feel the need to be so radically homophobic and as I say, I think it's a matter of a very fragile grasp of masculinity."
Whatevah!
It was left to a Pink News reader - John - to point out both the gaps in the knowledge of Geen and the gap in the memory of Abbot - "so why did she choose a song by Buju Banton on Desert Island Discs in 2008?"
So she did.
Diane's fifth Desert Island Disc was 'Driver A' by Buju Banton of 'Boom Bye Bye' fame.
Oops!
