I rest my case. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=20&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjehsXEkdHTAhUMCcAKHd_GBBoQFghxMBM&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lbc.co.uk%2Fradio%2Fpresenters%2Fnick-ferrari%2Fdiane-abbotts-agonising-interview-over-policy-cost%2F&usg=AFQjCNHVBvXDTJSpmDN2E6_SpvS8aBEKLQ

She got it wrong. But still a good policy to replace police when the Tories have cut their numbers by about 20,000.

I've listened to that interview and yes it is painful. She said elsewhere that she had previously done six interviews before doing that one and she just sounded like someone whose head was pounding. I'm not making excuses, someone in the political public eye can't afford such a slip-up - especially her. For all sorts of obvious reasons.

As the first black woman to be elected to British Parliament she does deserve some respect in my opinion. She is actually a clever and able woman - albeit having an off day on the above mentioned occasion.

A lot of her sentences these days fall along the deranged lines of 'all brexit voters are horrible racists and nazis', and when challenged, she visibly deflates into a corner of sulk with no adequate intelligent response.

Agree it was a train wreck of an interview but the idea is a good one, we need an increased and improved Police Force. Where I live the city centre has become a place so intimidating for many people that they won't go there, which then affects the local economy. One former Police Super who I was talking to a short while ago called it a "lawless town" due to the fact there's no Police presence.

The idea is a good idea, I'm not going to say it's a bad policy just because the person who suggested it garbled the message. If we all do that then we truly deserve the shit storm that's heading our way!
