Sorry but this is incredibly naive. Of course there’s nepotism, people get given test answers, get coached in how to perform during these assessment and ultimately assessors can mark them any way they want, there is no area, except something highly practical where you have to demonstrate your manual skill for all to see, that can’t be rigged. I’ve seen it done in much more rigorous testing circumstances than the one you described, several times before. People with half a brain and a raging drug habit graduate from Harvard with Honours without ever learning anything, this shit is everywhere, it’s why our world is in this sorry state, because incompetents are running it.You couldn’t get that job via nepotism, that’s not how the fast stream works. The diplomatic fast stream is very hard to get on to, you have to pass all sorts of tests, there are only a handful of jobs every year for thousands of applicants. I know because I’ve applied!
Now whether he was prepared for the tests and application because he was a private school kid is a different story, but he won’t have got that job just because of his mother.
The Muslim Barbary pirates operated out of the north African coastal regions of the Ottoman Caliphate and entire populations of southern coastal towns in Italy, France, Spain, England and Ireland were decimated. That's Islam plus white Europeans as victims, so that's one victimhood gong you ain't ever gonna hear getting banged on by the woke crowd."There were no white-seeming people manacled on the slave ships"
Grateful if someone could school the uneducated and biased cow on the Barbary slave trade then. Black people absolutely do not have the monopoly on being slaves; ALL races were at it.

For over 300 years, the coastlines of the English Channel and south west of England were at the mercy of Barbary pirates. Men, women and children were kidnapped to be sold as slaves...www.historic-uk.com
Better still, instead of banging on and on and on and on about things that happened hundreds of years ago. If these morons could kindly put their efforts into stopping modern slavery down at their local car wash, high street nail salon, cheap restaurant/cafe etc. I absolutely do not understand why people like her are obsessed with ranting about the ancient past, but do nothing about improving things going on in UK towns right now.
Well she got the job because she was screwing Corbyn. She's completely unfit for office as has been proven time and time again.“Some of the things she's said would be career ending for other politicians”
Are you insinuating she‘s only in her job still because she’s black and/or a woman?
Certainly makes you wonder though, doesn't it. She is a train wreck, as said any other job and she would be in the dole queue.“Some of the things she's said would be career ending for other politicians”

I highly recommend a book called White Gold by Giles Milton. It's the true account of a young cabin boy from Cornwall who was kidnapped from his ship (along with the rest of the crew) and sold as a slave in the North African slave markets. After 23 years in slavery, he escaped and made his way back to Cornwall. This book is his account of what he and his shipmates were subjected to and witnessed - truly horrific."There were no white-seeming people manacled on the slave ships"

It seems, that she has conveniently forgotten to mention the Holocaust.
Nepotism and going through a recruitment process are not mutually exclusive.You couldn’t get that job via nepotism, that’s not how the fast stream works. The diplomatic fast stream is very hard to get on to, you have to pass all sorts of tests, there are only a handful of jobs every year for thousands of applicants. I know because I’ve applied!

Did you ever see her sober?So, really, this is a thread about Diane Abbott's son. OK.
I've seen her around Hackney a few times. Very personable and seems really nice.
That's racist to assume people's skin colour on a message board.Your post didn’t read terribly well on the back of the “race card” theme the thread was taking.
It’s really easy for white people to bleat “don’t make it about race”, less easy for them the acknowledge their own inherent, often unconscious prejudices.
Waves the race card then drops a derogatory comment about skin colourNo worries, I love a bit of gammon
Certainly makes you wonder though, doesn't it. She is a train wreck, as said any other job and she would be in the dole queue.
It's not just her tbh there is one rule for them and another for us!
Your post didn’t read terribly well on the back of the “race card” theme the thread was taking.Really! I think you know exactly who I am referring to, it's obvious who I am referring to.
Please don't try and turn this into a race issue, when it's obviously not
If your still not sure just re-read my post!
Exactly!MP's are the biggest influencers of them all, they use their spin and influence to try to win our votes. They all chosen to be in the public eye and all have twitter accounts / facebook pages with large followings. The personal live of politicians has every right to be discussed and criticised here or on any other outlet given that their wages and huge expenses are paid by the public
