Diane Abbott: Mao did more good than harm

You know, for defeating the Japanese :smirk:

Which is Maos greatest accomplishment?

  • Defeating the Japanese
  • Caused up to 60 million to die
  • Destroyed 4000 years of culture

Abbott would be dangerous if she had a brain . I can accept that she has a face like a shaven horse as that may be partly genetics , but her politics are uglier .

Defeated the Chinese AS WELL. Put those two together and its not half bad.

My middle kingdom history is a little hazy, but didn’t Mao avoid fighting the Japanese wherever possible? That way he was able to defeat the depleted KMT forces after the war. Having said that, the KMT were a bit naughty with surprise attacks on the Communists during supposed truces.

The commie history though is that they bravely fought against the Japanese imperialists at every turn.

i remember reading that the CCP where working as double agents and playing both parties off against each other. at one point supplying the Japanese with KMT troop movements.

Edit: added link

Both sides were as bad as each other. Didn’t Cash My Check get kidnapped by his own generals at one point in order to force him to attack the Japanese more?

From what I know the KMT did a lot more to defeat the Japanese than the Communists did, though.

If you have a spare hour.

I actually thought the thread was highlighting the banal stupidity of Miss Abbott , which is beyond question . The only connection I see is her support for wishing to see the people controlled by a corrupt ideology against their will .

She got into Cambridge.

I think she’s weak with figures and has a tendency to speak without thinking. This isn’t unique among politicians.

Indeed the American ā€˜socialist’ I know seems to be a fan of Mao, Castro et al

a politician in support of a mass murdering dictator? well its not nice but its not the most surprising thing in the world. pretty sure that boris also thinks xi is the bee’s knees.

what i did like though is that they all had a good laugh at the stupid bitch at the end of the clip.

Hehe , If you consider that Cambridge used to offer places to certain School Pupils ,whom may have even struggled with their grammar :whistle:, perhaps that may make you think :trollface:
Nick Griffin managed it , I suppose…hmmm.:face_with_raised_eyebrow:
For a potential Hone Secretary, perhaps the ability to speak with thinking may be deemed a fair pre-requisite?
I concur that she was an intelligent woman earlier in her career , but you must , ergo, also conclude that she has lost the plot now. That may not be ā€œuniqueā€ in politicians , but this thread is about her.
Watch if you dare …Go Cambridge woohoo :praying:

the clip was from 2008

Sorry , I thought it was enough , I shall post 2008-19 if you think it will be more prudent? :thinking::blush:It includes later clips I think ?

A working class black girl made Cambridge in the, what, early 80s. That is quite impressive. She’d have had to been a considerable bullshitter to have pulled that off.

Yes , indeed she is . Of course she was intelligent but the tide was turning against almost automatic public school acceptance ( even with bad grammar :wink:) towards a more diverse and fairer system . They only wanted me for my shooting skills :yum: bloody elites. I’m bad enough without having gone to Cambridge don’t you think ? The oxygen is getting to my brain again … that may be bad …:thinking:. The doctor actually said that for a while I may have been a little forgetful and lacking focus . Didn’t have the heart to tell him I’ve been like that for decades :pensive:

You know Bernie?
