Again! Diane Abbott has had the Labour Party whip suspended after she suggested Jewish, Irish and Traveller people have never been “subject to racism”.
Wants putting out to grass like Corbyn, the two biggest reasons why we currently have a Tory government and while he's at it Stamer wants to get shut of Corbyns other mate the Scot trot McDonnell the third reason.
I think what she actually said was that they hadn't been subject to racism their entire lives and throughout history, like black people have. Which is still a stupid thing to say.
Was a daft article to write, and she's been rightly suspended. However, she has at least offered a full apology and retraction. More than can be said for Raab.
Cos the media peddle *****. And folk fall for it. But I get the feeling people are demanding more of Starmer, not centre politics in todays climate. What will we blame this time, if labour don't get in. And If you want racists, look no further than a tory. A labour party without socialists. Is a mockery. 2022 Starmer was asked whether he was a socialist. He refused to say, asking “what does that mean?”,
This is all well and good but not enough people are ready for, or have the stomach for, a full on left wing government. Best we can hope for in the short term is to get the abominable Tories out, and only Labour as currently constituted can do that. Call out Starmer all you like but it's him or the fascists. You choose.
thing is the anti Semitic thing had gone quiet for Labour now the daft bat has brought it back to the fore.
fair enough , she apologised but I’ve never got the retraction thing in cases like this, she’s clearly not had an epiphany and if she didn’t believe it she wouldn’t have written it.
Her supporters say she's an extremely intelligent academic. Over all the years, I just don't see that.
What I mean is. we need some centre left/left labour mps to take the centre to task. there are a few. I hate the tories more than I love the labour leadership. So I will vote that way. But labour have to come down on those that can afford. not those who can't. unlike the tories.
She is well thought of by her constituents. 33yrs. As is Corbyn 40yrs (9 elections) . They don't scare em off. I reckon those that do know her are right. Best remembered by attacks on her rather than her abilities and that's as much as I or you know. Good things get rarely reported nationally. She's a target for the right wing media. Ask yourself why.
I think we have a Tory government because there are a lot of selfish, gullible, stupid and racist people. Selfish folk who don't want to share, don't want to spread the wealth, the "I'm alright, Jack" types. Gullible folk who read something in the paper/online and believe it, without question. You know, like those who voted for Brexit because of a lie on a bus. Stupid folk who voted for something that would hurt them, because they know no better, as they're stupid. And racist folk, who were born on this island as definite descendants of immigrants but reckon it's their country and their country alone, and worship mythical Turks called George. *The comments of Diane Abbott were ******* stupid and I have no sympathy with her. Corbyn is irrelevant. Sir Keir needs to cut through a hell of a lot more over the next 12 months because his lead in the polls is shortening all the time, despite Labour now appearing to be a watered down version of the Tories, trying to lure in the votes of the selfish, gullible, stupid and racist.
Hmm, I'm not sure it's because they're scared of her. More like that you don't turn down a tap in when someone keeps presenting you with an open goal.
You may be right. But only by people who can't see further than their nose. And swallow most of the *****. Actually you are right. most do. Boris has been getting away with it since he fell out of the womb.
