Well I'm glad C-flat tried to drag the conversation back to hypocricy. Socialism/capitalism, equality/privilege we can all debate that. But this thread started off about the stomach-churning hypocricy of Diane Abbot, who made her money and reputation by attacking certain kinds of behaviour, and then behaves exactly the same herself when she perceives it is in her family's interest to do so.
   I'm not going to criticise her for acting in the best interest of her son. I'm going to criticise her because her insincerity and dishonesty makes me want to throw up.
