Nah, was watching Dimbers and guests. Surely Abbott handed her her arse?

Does anybody have any idea what Mad Nad is on about in this morning's Tweet?

Quote:

Cameron is sleepwalking into the mother of all back bench rows if he thinks he can let FU nations use the ECJ without recourse to parliament.

I don't think she's got the hang of Twitter.

1) Absolutely no idea - could mean anything or nothing.
2) Name 3 21st century concepts of which she has any sort of grasp.

I'll guess ECJ is European Courts of Justice.

FU Nations?? I keep thinking of that daft French Connection logo.

Perhaps it's a typo for EU?

I assumed it was deliberate as an 'hilarious' joke. FU = "Fuck You"

Malcolm Armsteen · **Posted:** Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:02 am

I don't think the Nadster does jokes...

I thought that, but it still makes no sense as it's not up to Cameron to decide whether to let EU nations use the ECJ. I suspect that, as with most of what Nad says, we'll have to give up the battle to try to import any meaning into it.

I think she means Financial Union - ie the other 26 nations who agreed a financial stability pact. Cameron made a big thing about how, because it wasnt an EU treaty, they couldnt use EU institutions to enforce it - a pledge that he's been backing away from since the moment he made it.

Sexist BBC?

Somebody please lock this ridiculous woman in a crate.

Jesus. Seeing she mentioned Rachel Reeves, she must be meaning political figures. Whose fault is it there aren't more women?

What would Nad and her mates say if the BBC didn't bother with ministers/shadow ministers and hauled in a woman off the select committee?

Gone political mad correctness- rearrange.

A mere two episodes with only one woman is all it takes for the BBC to be sexist now.
The BBC would have to have a majority female (or preferably all female) cast or panel on every single show before some would even begin to consider it non-sexist any more.

It's not as if there have been no women on the show for months - and frankly if the alternative is to have an utter spunksock like her on I'd rather no women at all.
