She attended Harrow County School for Girls (a grammar school) and then Newnham College, Cambridge, where she read history, achieving a lower second-class degree (2:2).
Hardly a bloody genius, if she was white, she'd be staking shelves in Tesco, because she's to thick to operate the tills. |
Aye "book learning" can be over estimated at times, especially when a lot of M.P's (albeit not all!) have an embarrassing lack of common sense, critical thinking ability and 'real world' experience.
That is why we see stuff like political and military disasters, civil service "Whitehall farce's" and conspiracy theories from 'thick-educated-fools' etc.
Like the academic who did a lecture/presentation (complete with impressive projection screen and graphics) about mysterious spherical blobs found upon World Trade Centre structural steel.
A guy too stupid to realise that it was only normal, everyday ‘welding spatter’ and not some form of Thermite/steel combustive reaction.
Or the solicitor who claimed that a (never happened!) murder scene’s bath had its entire plumbing removed to evade forensic investigation, despite the fact that washed off water contents never passed through it anyhow, because it was all still in the bath with its in-situ plug stopping all drainage.
Surreal to think that this cr@p comes from people with degrees who would (100% serious!) struggle to assemble an IKEA table. |  |

I was thinking more on the lines of some M.P's educational capabilities and qualifications , which is gained from memorised learning from books of type that involves lesser problem solving ability, common sense, critical thinking abilty and being able to think on one's feet.
You know stuff like being more than capable of memorising stuff about the characters involved in the industrial revolution, but being utterly incapable of solving/answering a quadratic equation.  | |

Getting to Cambridge is an achievement end of. I know some really clever kids at our local state school, Straight A* combined with really good sporting talent and they didn’t get a sniff of Oxbridge.
I don’t like her, but credit where credit’s due she got to Cambridge in the days when only something like 10% went to Uni. | | | |

I hadn’t noticed that Truss was black. | | | |

Try learning musical theory without a book.I'm sure you must have had text books while at school. Your teacher would have learned through books too, although it appears they didn't do a very good job of it going by your comment | | | |

The interesting thing is that nobody at Conservative central office appears to be giving him any advice on any of this stuff. They know that he can’t read a room to save his life but no one is helping him.
It’s almost as though they want him to lose… |
So if he and Starmer were seen wearing gear from Go Outdoors that would appease the masses, if so then people really are gullible. | |

I learnt how to fly a 747 by reading a book. Piece of cake.
Now admittedly I haven’t had the need to put it to the test but I’m confident😁 |  |

I know a lot of people that went to university, and gained much higher results than Diane Abbott, most of them haven't an ounce of common sense though. |  |

Seems she benefited from a good Gramnar school education. Of course labour have closed this opportunity to other people as they shut 95% of grammar schools in their attempt to level down our education system.
She of course also sent her son to a private school which labour also want to close. | |

I have many of those, and i'm sure you do too, but I don't know yours or anyone elses, therefore I need to read books to gain that understanding. I hope this makes sense to you | | | |

The Prime Minister who closed the most grammar schools?
Margaret Thatcher.
Edit: should have said education secretary [Post edited 4 Jun 18:34]

In 1965 a Labour government began the process of phasing out grammar schools. Eventually, in 1998 Tony Blair's government put an outright ban on new grammar schools being created. As a result, comprehensive schools are now far more common than grammar schools in the UK state education system. | |

Only it is not true labour had closed most of the grammar schools years before Margaret Thatcher came to power.
Most were closed in the 60s early 70s under Wilson. [Post edited 5 Jun 21:06]
