Leaked: Diane Abbott’s Question Time Preparation Notes
It’s amazing what you can find in a photocopier in SW1:
Drafted by Abbott’s staffer Gabe Trodd a former government spinner it is incredibly patronising given that Diane has been a TV professional since Gabe was wearing nappies.
Guido particularly enjoyed the preparation for dealing with “Dimbelby” (sic), the “listen to, write down and refer to the names of people that ask questions”, and the advice to at least try and look as if you’re not reading the “lines to take” notes from Labour HQ…
Are MPs really that thick?
Or are we for listening to them?
More Abbott & Costello….from the Hackney One
Racist should not be allowed on TV. Football pundits got the sack, why not her??
I find it baffling that the BBC even consider having her on after her unpleasant remarks. As such, I won’t be watching.
The BBC adore her
If dead moose limbs can have sex – surely they should be allowed to vote as well?

Dose Gabe Trodd fit the profile?
Overweight
Black
Lesbian
Disabled
Left Wing
Comprehensive Education
Sexually assaulted
Bullied
Misquoted
Ex Slave
Probably private school, but doesn’t want to admit it.
West Indian women will go to the wall for their boyz – like that one who tried to cover up for the one who killed the pensioner during the riots.
Lives in England, does very well out of living in England (a billion times better than she would if she still lived in the sh!t-hole that is Africa).
Hates England with a passion.
That about sum her up?
Gabe Trodd? I much prefer Strode Rode !!
Parents, both exploited by evil white colonial empire – who were bad dudes not into equality legislation and who employed no human rights lawyers for some reason or other.
RT @leonalewismusic: Thanks to @hackneyabbott for supporting the circus animal ban, your voice can help us save these animals
Retweeted by Gabe Trodd
‘Save the animals’?
Save them from what? Or for what?
I used to love the circus as a kid. Lions and tigers and elephants and seals and stuff that you wouldn’t see in Birmingham. Now all they have are fucking horses and dogs. I can look out the fucking window and see horses and dogs. And rabbits [... stand by...] and dead rabbits.
The last time I saw a proper circus – one with lions and tigers was, ironically for Diane, in the Caribbean. Kids loved it.
Fucking bedwetters. Make my piss boil.
Did the lions eat pasties?
No they ate r_i_c_e and p_e_a_s
Liebor MPs are that thick.
Why did Guido publish the phone numbers? Are they publicly available anyway?
House of commons office.
19 Look up at the ceiling alot
20 “I have nothing more to say”
21 Accuse someone of r@cism
22 Turn off mobile
Last week it was The Yvette Cooper Show. This week it will probably be The Diane Abbott Show.
All luvvies and lefties. They’re everywhere now.
Guido.
Have you read the B-BBC site? There is an interesting post on there in which a prospective audience member was asked to submit Q’s which including the French Election and St George’s day question.
Two points – space was found for this person on the already full event (might be a genuine reserve), but the fact that these two topics appear on the Trodd list (particularly the St George’s day one), makes me wonder if Abbott was tipped off by the BBC (production co).
Seems like the BBC might be too close to Labour !!!
Oh please. What utter nonsense.
At least she can read, which is more than some of us.Boaz.
Shame she can’t write, if those scrawled notes are anything to go by.
Oh yes!
Yes but no but yes but no but yes but no but yes but Abbot
Says it all don’t you think?
I’m surprised people watch QT anymore.
https://twitter.com/#!/MichaelDugherMP/status/195578487761936384
I can just see her reciting her 100 reasons why Boris has let London down, one after the other, while no one does anything to stop her.
Urrghhh – this woman puts the hippo into hypocrite!
This must win the funniest comment of the day award !
*chortle*
+1
+ several thousand!
HO HO
Now that made me larf out loud. ‘Cause it’s just so true.
That racist monster needs rafflin’
What would make me larf is stickin’ a metal spike up her c’unt an watchin’ it come out of her mouth.
Fuckin’ hilarious.
In the early eighties I was canvassed outside a polling station by a young, slim and sexy Diane Abbot. Just shows to go, if the prudent young man wants to know what he’s marrying he should take a good look at his future mother in law.
Just realised, she has two teas – is that part of her problem?
I didn’t see the line advising her not to roll her eyes back and look as if she’s trying to read her notes off the ceiling.
Rolling eyes upwards is a sign of a proper thicko.
They are trying to remember what to say or have been coached to say in certain circumstances. It is involuntary, like blushing, so she is unable to hide her dimness by doing homework. In fact, too much studying only makes the reflex action worse, depending on the persons level of idiocy, which with Abott, is high.
She tries to hide it as a condescending ‘Oh my God I can’t believe you’ve asked me such a stupid question’ gesture. Then recites the answer s l o w l y.
I think you have it cracked. She’s drawing a mental finger along the lines she’s learned. That’s why she recites her words so slowly.
And that’s why she totally blows up when she tries to improvise.
jgm2 would like to buy you a drink your comments are allways on the nose and a little amusing to boot
Yes but I notice that she can’t blush at all.
“Rolling eyes upwards is a sign of a proper thicko. ”
I thought it was an indicator that psychologists and interrogators look for because it’s a tell-tale that the eye-roller is lying.
Anyway – back to QT. There was a pretty young Afro-Caribbean lady in the audience who slapped both Abbott and the equally loathsome Toynbee down a treat on the Newham Council issue. It was a delight in an otherwise boring show (not even Farage managed to bring some life to it on this occasion) and it’s well worth a trip to iPlayer to watch, from about three-quarters of an hour in for about seven minutes. The look on Toynbee’s boat race when the “final solution” was thrown back at her had me in raptures.
I have nothing more to say.
If only that were true
Let’s hope not, whilst you’re on QT, Big Momma: we’re hoping you’ll say something which, should we quote you, you will say was taken out of context, though we”ll have the footage to prove otherwise.

Aha! Looks like she’s been flushed out as a phoney, needing tips on basic manners from a lackey.
Gabe Trodd is on the run now. If he can’t handle a photocopier, his career won’t go very far!
NAh, it’s been sent to Abbott already – it’s she who cannot handle a photocopier! Who would have thought?
Just had a thought about her photocopying her arse
Wash your brain out.
You’d need some extra large Mr Muscle wipes to get the sweat stains and curly wurlies off the glass after!
Do they make paper that big?
Or a photocopier that strong?
Sure it’s a male?
Who knows with politicians and their hangers on these days?
They missed “don’t eat any pies when on the panel”.
Can she eat pasties?
If Murdoch’s links with the British Government come up, it’s bound to cover the 13 years Labour were in power….
Dimbleby (sic) will intervene at that stage and move on to the next question.
Dimbletwit should be removed from the panel;he does nothing to control them when they interrupt the co-panellist who is answering the question & last night there were 3 of them all speaking/shouting at the same time.Dimble did nothing with the result that it was impossible to hear what was being said by any of them.
Labour were head and shoulders up Murdochs arse – they were so in love with him it defied belief – right up until he switched support from Labour to the Tories. Then, as we now know from the Leveson Enquiry, it was “You’ve declared war on my government so I’m declaring war on you,” like a spoiled bully-boy petulant child who’s had his ball taken away.
Oh, Gabe, one thing:
next time, keep your instructions on one page.
That’s basic.
Diane
blame whitey
… and please try not to make any derogatory remarks about white people.
Give me fucking strength,there idiocy is staggering,and how much exactly is staffer Trodd costing ?,not cheap i would venture.
He’s obviously cheap, and very expensive.
‘There idiocy’ should be ‘their idiocy’. A dictionary might be useful.
“Avoid references to public school”
Avoid references to Ken avoiding tax.
Avoid references to гiсе ‘n реа.
Avoid references to Finnish nurses.
Can I call them blue eyed devils instead?
I wish in future to be called Daphne.
We’ll call you whatever we want to call you, you racist Liebore Nazi filth. Now fuck off.
She reads up on the topics before a debate?
GASP. Throw her in the stocks!
She might read up on them but she’s prone to go off message once she gets in there.
‘Black women will go to the wall for their kids….’
I can’t believe that was on her briefing notes.
That is of course not a racist remark.
The problem with Diane is that she’s thick. But she doesn’t realise it. She can’t keep to the script because she thinks that an intellectual giant such as herself should be able to mix it with Brillo and Portillo. So she goes off message and reveals herself as an idiot.
Fucking classic watching Brillo stick the boot in once he got fed up of her.
At least Harman knows she’s an idiot so she sticks to the script.
I’m an idiot.
What do you expect? I can sequence her DNA on my fingers without using the same finger twice.
stupid people think everyone else is as thick except them allways have allways will
I wish we could stand her against a wall and shoot her. If it’s good enough for President and Mrs Ceaucescu…
whiteys on the moon
I especially like the bit about; “listen to, write down and refer to the names of people that ask questions”, surely she knows who they all are anyway, doesn’t the BBC bus them all in?.
It’s in case one asks the wrong question. They need to know who to send for reeducation.
why isn’t the intellectual giant lee jasper on q time we need him for his balanced and well thought out opinion and he does a good impression of a racist too which he learned from hallibut!
Only you honkeys can be wayshidt.
Watts on first, Who’s on second.
This one’s quicker, and is pretty much how politicians do business:
Come off it.
The whole of question time is one rehearsed farce with a bussed in audience.
The questions have all been bandied about by the participants beforehand.
That Abbott has to have a prepared list of Labour directives does come as a bit of a shock, since they will probably have been changed by the time she goes on air.
“Lets hear from the stooge with his hand up at the back”
Yes, it’s fake TV, all carefully contrived and choreographed to promote a BBC worldview.
Can you imagine an audience of ordinary real people, and not the usual party stooges, activists and community leaders? The panel and BBC wouldn’t know what hit them.
No, the BBC like their ‘memebrs of the public’ to be carefully selected, PC and on message.
Yup. It should be renamed to ‘Labour Party Propaganda Time’
eNote to Diane Abbott: One hundred lines; ‘Do not interupt when people are speaking’ You may think you are going to say somthing clever, but your not.
If anyone in the Audience shouts ” riceandpee” CRY.
What, no ryce ‘n p recipes?
I do not remember seeing this memo.
When you speak, avoid thinking of food, you’ll drool.
Don’t look stupid either, look clever and intelligent, a tough ask I know.
And especially don’t worry, we’ve always got loads of ‘friends’ in the audience.
Do something about it ! Cancel that direct debit to the bbc and get your arses over to biased-bbc.org.
We don’t have to join a club to not pay the BBC to misinform us do we?
As far as I’m concerned monies going to the BBC are used to promote liberal socialist viewpoints so are in effect political subs and it is quite correct to withhold your subs.
And as for agw since when was that the proven science that the BBC says it is?
“And as for agw since when was that the proven science that the BBC says it is?”
Never, but then don’t let facts get in the way of a fantastic money spinning opportunity for crony capitalist interests and crooked politicians in their pockets.
Indeed. The ‘licence fee’ is a state tax to fund state propaganda.
Its got new address : http://biased-bbc.com/
Do we pay for this berk with out taxes?
He’s left off the Maddy question. That’s an outside chance.
And he hasn’t given her a top 5.
1. economy -0.2%
2. social cleansing
3. Hunt and Rupert
4. Toff arrogant rich boys
5. Marine Le Penn
If 4/5 of those aren’t asked I’ll eat her pants.
Coeeeeee!
What about whities dividing and rulling blackies?
Bill, even your worst enemy wouldn’t force you to keep that promise
I bet you’d eat her pants even if 0/5 came up and she gave you the chance.
He’d only eat her pants if she was wearing them
Patronising? That email is positively colonial.
Do they eat pasties in the colonies?
They do in Jamaica, though it’s a local variation, one with which La Abbott could not be unfamiliar:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaican_patty
There was me thinking Gabe is a woman.
http://twitter.com/#!/gtrodd
Me too and looking at the photo we’re right.
A smug one at that.
That page has been deleted so “Gabe” is now an Unperson. But you are right, it does look female.
Does Gabe eat pasties?
and why has nobody yet told us what Gabe trod in?
Even the Arctic glaciers are in a double-dip recession.
Parallel universe.
Dear Caroline,
We did invite you on to the Today program for tomorrow to talk about how not having enough green energy subsidy has led to a blood shortage in the capitol.
However, we have now decided you’re nothing but a deluded Marxist who treats your beliefs as if they were a religion and you refuse to allow either truth or reality to intervene in your totally unrealistic, poverty inducing, harmful agenda.
Therefore we have decided to withdraw your invitation as we are having Nigel Farage on instead to talk about how it would be better if no more UK money was sent to the IMf to prop up the failed Euro.
We feel that his impressions better reflect the general opinions of our viewers and conform better to BBC policies and guidelines than your rather harebrained, expensive, collectivised eco-friends of the earth left overs from the ancient ecology hippy movement.
PS
Your haircut makes you look like Ann Widdecombe.
Yours,
Gemima Jemma-Jensen Jones.
Radio 4′s news and current affairs.
The BBC named their Green Room to show support
St. George’s Day, eh? How about Armistice Day, Diane – particularly people who tweet at 11am…?
This Tory government has caused more people’s deaths than the Great War.
A penny for your thoughts – I presume you mean Tory Bliar
Tesco have rebranded their “Value” cider and reduced the ABV from 4.2 to 4 %. What are you doing about that, Fawkes?
That’s a 4% increase
+1. The guy’s stuck up his own arse.
He’ll conduct some personal research into the matter.
I used to use Tesco until their “Big Pr*ice Drop” last year resulted in pretty obvious pr*ice rises. For example, Hovis bread, “2 for £2″ suddenly became “2 for £2.20″ (with a big yellow label next to it (“Super OFFER!!!”), as if the 10% pr*ice rise was in some way wonderful.)
Tesco = complete and utter scum.
And their staff are c*nts.
oi! I resemble that remark!
Does the advice include “speak in a patronising tone and constantly roll your eyes to the ceiling to emphasise your superioriry ” ?
And for fucks sake if you’re asked what is your position on defence don’t reply ‘paint it with de creosote’.
*Falls off stool*
…..I shan’t be asking what Diane’s position on the mayor is.
Not on top, I hope. Urrrgh.
Personally I would NOT mount either of them
How can she be a racist ? She’s black !
All books are closed on a black racist winning the 100 yard dash in London this summer.
Ah, yes. Here it is – Racist: One who partakes in a race.
It’s in da genes yer know mon!
She’s black ham personified.
Who the f*ck is “Abu Qatadar”??
Who the f*ck is “Abu Qatadar”??
“e passed the dutchie on the left hand side” I think…….
Isnt mz Abbot a racist? Dont think we need to listen to anything that woman has to say.
I dunno. It would be nice to hear her say, “I is goin’ back to my own country now, I is sorry to has been here ruining your country. Many apologies, I go, I not return. Sorry.”
Pigs will fly first!
Her plan is to bring Africa to the UK and not the other way around.
Izz yer trying to divide and rule us brothers and sisters mon?
I’m no apologist for Diane, nor any other politico, but really – is there a big deal I’m missing here? Your’e appearing on BBC Question Time FFS, you[‘re going to prepare aren’t you? Go in with at least a list of points you’d like to make? Who’s going to rock up straight off the bus, hands in their pockets and nothing in their head? Not you, I’m guessing.
One would think that a professional politician would have an opinion on all of these matters without having to be prompted first. That’s what they are paid for.
Oh shit, I forgot to put questions on “da chickelin ric℮ and da fooking ρ℮a!”
or ‘pass the dutchie on the left hand side” …. mother f*ckers
She needs this level of help….
Is she a bit thick or what?
Hope you are not saying it is ‘cos she is blick ?
She a fuckin’ negroid it’s in the genes!
All kaffirs is unfortunate. (In a thick jaapie accent)
ja boet, the only Good Kaffir is a dead kaffir!
And the only time you wink and smile at a darkie is when you are aiming your R4 at one!
I don’t play those divide and rule games.
I hold all minorities in equal contempt.
Yup!
We are pleased to announce our new Hackney Abbott pasty, replacing traditional teddys and suedes with r1ce and pe@s.
suedes? Shirley you mean swedes (or is that racist too?)
Abbott likes to divide and rule the panel. Dimbleby will no doubt help her achieve her aim.
Who is the most thick Abbott or Harman?
Harman the wife or Harman the hubby with a different surname – all three are equally dumb.
According to the BBC Murdoch’s association with any government minister did not occur between 1997 and 2010.
The most feared words in the country:-
“Hallo dere mon, I’se your new neighbour”
If a white MP had said something similar about white mums there would have been non-stop BBC outrage and her career would have been finished.
Diane Abbott – racist.
BBC – double standards
Labour Party – hypocrisy
Lenny Henry in drag, but infinitely funnier!
To:Gabe Trodd
Resign.
C’unts the lot of them.
She looks like a hungry bear
If you watched Question Time there can be only one question on your minds.
Yes, it was I who designed Polly’s jacket. Test card chic is all the rage, darlings.
All the rage in Tuscany my dear

What kind of a name is Gabe Trodd anyway? Has someone moved the letters around?
Sounds like an IKEA bookcase.
Nothing about private schools then?
She is not my favourite politician. I always think she looks very slovenly, as though she is speaking from a reclining position because she hasn’t the energy to look alert. Perhaps her script writer feels the same, given nature of his advice to her.
I was going to quip with something extremely hypocritical and offensive then decided it would look pale in comparison to one of Abbots efforts – so I wont shame myself with an inferior offering
