    Wow the pound has really tanked

    It's celebration time for George Clooney, after the tequila company he co-founded was sold to drinks giant Diageo in a deal worth $1bn (£790,000).

    That is the opposite of tanking.

      Especially as they are just a little out with the conversion (unless Fred the Shred has got his hand in )

      1 Billion $ =
      789390600.00 British Pound

          I could try and claim I was being sarcastic but I was about to eat dinner and distracted by more important things!

          Still, it seems Diane Abbott may be working as a journalist now...

            oi that's obviously a sexist & racist comment, Lily All-Gob will be along in a bit to lambast you!

              She certainly has suffered horrible racist and sexist abuse which we shouldn't laugh off... But that doesn't mean all abuse she gets is racist or sexist.

                She's a lefty black woman. All abuse is automatically sexist and racist. The theory is that if she was a white man, she wouldn't get the abuse, because being a lefty, she's automatically a decent person - unlike Tory scum.
                Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                  The fact is lots of the abuse she has faced and receives is sexist and racist.

                  Saying someone is "useless" or "tulip" or "fat" isn't sexist or racist but adding certain descriptions to it can make it so.

                  Other female, non-white and gay MPs regardless of party face the same issues. The vast majority of them say nothing as they don't want more abusive letters, emails and social media posts sent to them for pointing it out.
