This.
What's stupid? Apologising? There's a long list of idiocy, but this isn't it.

So what, it’s a stupid law and it was one can of mojito. I know you detest her, but it’s a big hoohah over **** all.
I'd never drink on the tube, as it's always been clear since the ban that you don't. I can't even remember seeing any football fans doing it in recent years, so she should know better, especially as this kind of story would have been the likely outcome.
Having said that, there are far more worrying things going on in politics in general, so I consider it a complete non story.

It's interesting how people will get outraged for an MP drinking a cocktail on a train
But don't seem to give a flying **** about any of the stupid laws and policies MP's try to force through parliament

I'm not Abbot's biggest fan - but this.
I also dislike the idea that everybody must immediately take to social media to profusely apologise. It's nonsense, really. Nobody believes any of the apologies are even the slightest bit sincere, and it's all basically to appease the Facebook loons. Who no doubt believe they're wielding some kind of power over their MPs.

You're right, it's not a big thing in itself, but she's got a very long and still growing list of ill conceived opinions, actions and statements.

I'm not entirely convinced that people are criticising her for drinking a cocktail on a train, the fact that it was from a can might be the reason but I suspect that it has more to do with the Shadow Home Secretary's apparent ignorance of the law or her casual disregard of the law?

So drinking a canned mojito is newsworthy now?
Hate her as much as you like, but anyone getting wound up over that is sad.....

No no no, Portillo is railway royalty. A charmer and a style icon. No one can pull off cream trousers with a pink shirt and green blazer quite like Sir Michael of the Trains can.
I haven't.
Perhaps if Diane Abbott got a life, she wouldn't need to drink the pain away with mojitos.
She can't even drink in public competently.

These politicians are meant to be held to a higher standard, obey the rules and laws that themselves introduce, so I don't care if it's just a tiny sip, she's horrid anyway, just an other black mark against her name, she needs to go away.
It doesn't matter if you think the law is stupid or if it's a single can or 20. She is an MP. She is supposed to be setting the example that the rest of us follow. If she thinks the law is stupid then she is one of the few of us actually in a position to challenge it properly.
