Sorry but what exactly did Diana say that was so bad, other than the truth, that black people stand out immediately whereas Irish, Jews and redheads can blend in?
@Alastair Wallace I haven’t said who I would vote for, so not sure who you’re directing that to? My point is, if I lived in Diane Abbott’s constituency I could never vote for in good conscience.
They barely have to do any work and pass round leadership like candy to pocket the 120k a year for life. It should be up to the people who and how many mps there are, not there rich mates from school
Travellers have suffered? Surely all travellers should be compensated for the prejudice and racism, too! I have travelled many times over the years, but numerous forms of transport and to several different countries, so how and where should I apply?
It's absolutely right that she had distanced herself from her comment as her comment demonstrated error of judgement. As a strong campaigner against institutional racism, I'm careful about the use of language at all times.
Coming from an American perspective, we see racism coming from many blacks towards Jews, whites and Asians. This is a thing here that isn’t really allowed to be talked about but that still doesn’t make it not a thing. Why this racism is manifest is certainly open to discussion and probably understandable as many bad behaviors are, but, in my opinion shouldn’t undermine the fact that its still a bad behavior. And, as any competent person knows, bad behaviors should be recognized as such and corrected as soon as possible to stop the behavior from becoming “habitualized” and therefore harder to extinguish. What bad behaviors shouldn’t be is excused or swept under the rug. How these behaviors should be dealt with IS open for discussion understanding that the operative idea undergirding this idea is that the behavior should be addressed. I worry that there are too many apologists out there undermining real and thoughtful discussions about such thing. Big love all.
This won't wash here especially when those pushing this toxic woke ideology, that sets up an oppression Olympics, are using same language and arguments from America a out racism here. Abbott proves my point in her piece, by claiming Irish people in America never had to sit at the back of the bus, ignoring the UK and Ireland's history in which both sides were deeply racist to eachother. No blacks, no dogs and no Irish were what the signs on shops, pubs and the like way back when read, that happened here because of unique history with Ireland, and yet Abbott brought up South Africa and America as her examples of Irish people not being victims of racism. It totally erases what my ancestors went through when they came to UK during the potato famine, i don't like sitting whinging about it like Abbott does about slavery, but the fact she just so willingly ignored history of the country she's a serving member of parliament for has irritated me beyond belief. That alone would be bad enough but she's gone after the Jews, again, we don't do antisemitism here. The public will not tolerate it, it's why we were all so turned off by Corbyn, our ancestors didn't fight with blood, sweet, tears and life to defeat the Nazis, to have that god awful ideology they pushed ened up here anyway. The woke brigade are poking the sleeping lion, when they wake that lion they'll wish they'd never exported that god awful ideology here. We know we are not a racist country, we know we have a checkered past, but by and large our country has always done the right thing in the end. Woke will not win here.
please shutup. do you think only white people use youtube? the way you're just talking about us in such a disgusting way. what she said was't racist. white people do not experience racism in white countries, you clown. black people experience hate from asian people. jewish people are not a race.
Levels of victimhood and virtue are widely accepted within the Labour party, public institutions,universities etc these days, Diane was simply declaring how that works. It’s madness of course.
If someone unfamiliar with Antisemitism started studying recently .....they would believe that black people are worlds worst antisemitic people on earth... the truth is Jewish people are anti black bullies.....the anti defamation league ....should be called the anti defamation against white jews league....they dont care about defamation of the black race.....
Of course what Abbott said about racism is appalling, and she is clearly a sanwich short of a picnic if she thinks that there are no black jews, but I find it a bit strange that the media is only concentrating about what she said about the Jewish population. She included travellers, the irish and even giner hairde people in her crass comments. Where is the defence of those groups?
Yeah i think you're right, but given Labours issues with antisemitism particularly on her wing of the party I can understand why they focus on that. Though i'm still not convinced the gingers are victim's of racism haha.
She has been doing this for decades and always getting away with it as she ticks all the woke diversity boxes and would scream Racism from the highest mountain if they tried to sack her. No Starmerer will suspend her on full pay and expenses for a few weeks then let her back having accepted her heart felt apology. Pathetic \.
So, racism is solely only possible if you are white? Ah OK. Guess a black woman labelling a group of people with different ethnicity or heritage is not racist then. I'm white and honestly ashamed to say I guess I'm racist as I have typically avoided black folk for years, because frankly so many I've encountered have a skewed, fundamental hateful perspective towards other races that I just find disgusting and don't want in my life. I don't encounter the same issue with East Asian or Hispanics for example (and I'm married to the latter). I encourage people to read a big ol history book instead of relying on tweets for their education. Melanin doesn't give anyone a free pass to whine about one segment of history that they deem relevant to their identity. All races and social classes have suffered something even in recent history, my ancestors included. This is the same thing Whoopi Goldberg did and she's the tip of the iceberg tbh. They don't like multiculturalism in society esp including Caucasians.
No one is saying that BUT jewish people cant face racism because ummm they are not a race, they’re a religion? Am i going crazy? How can white people be the victim of racism, you guys started it? Theres no major power in the world where were being dark is the best thing to be?
Diane Abbott said, "Irish, Jewish and traveler people undoubtedly experience prejudice. This is similar to racism and the two words are often used as if they are interchangeable. It is true that many white people with points of difference, such as redheads, can experience this prejudice. But they are not all their lives subject to racism". Can anyone explain to me why this is anti-semitic? Or anti-Irish? Or anti-traveller? Or anti-redhead?
Because historically these groups are their own ethnic groups generally speaking within the white overall group (like anglo-saxon is, or breton is). These groups have been either on the extermination list within living memory over in mainland Europe or within the UK faced cultural attacks from the central government to the point it could be argued to be a form of cultural genocide. (this is not a meme/hyperbole, the way that GRT have been treated as recently as the last decade would be considered truly evil if performed on other communities) She is effectively saying this hatred and bigotry doesnt exist or if it does exist, it isnt race based/isnt as bad as that faced by the black community which is highly ignorant and downplaying the real racial issues against white ethnic minority groups in the UK which are often ignored. Nobody says that the black community doesnt suffer, but she is effectively trying to do the "we suffer more" card and heavily downplaying or outright ignoring the other groups issues which is horrible. Just like if 1 black ethnic group attacks another like in say Ethiopia or Sudan as is happening now based on that ethnic difference is racism, same applies in white populations too.
@@mitchverr9330 Nothing you said relates to what she actually said, that's why you keep on using the word "effectively". You made up your own story and falsely attributed your story to Abbott by using the words "effectively she said"
@Mitchverr - But the racism that black people have faced is a system put in place, generally, based on the typical physical characteristics blacks are considered to share. This system was created in order to allow for a hierarchy based on race around 'black' physical characteristics.

How on earth have you defended her? She's a clear racist, she thinks people who are white cannot be victims of racism. She's said derogatory things about white people before, absolutely gone after Jewish people before, whom she seems to think are all white, apparently she doesn't know Jews come in all colours. On top of that she's frankly so low on IQ her two examples she used in this piece, when claiming Irish peo never suffered racism, were examples of them not being oppressed in America and South Africa, completely ignoring the history of Britain and Ireland. The good Friday agreement's 25 th birthday was only last week, she should know better. How on earth anyone could have defended this woman is beyond me.
Abacus Abbott has attacked the wrong people this time ! Anything anyone says that remotely sounds anti-Jewish is immediately labelled as anti-Semitic ! Abacus,you really have put he wrong show on the wrong foot in this time ! 😂😂😂😂😂 Big Time!
That letter was completely offensive, factually wrong and should never have been sent. However I don’t believe that Abbott is a hateful person and I think that I understand what she was TRYING to articulate. She was saying that skin colour cannot be hidden and so prejudice, discrimination & harassment of those groups is relentless, 24/7 365, In her view that makes it more severe- I believe that comes from her own person trauma from decades of abuse as the first Female Black MP I don’t condone this, but from having Asian & Black close friends with children, I do understand it. Be that as it may, her letter was wrong factually Antisemitism is Racism -Jewish People are still targeted and even killed every day I’m Half Irish and I’ve seen enough Racism against my Dads side and of the family Traveller communities face appalling Racial abuse I have MS and abuse of the Disabled is rife The wrong mindedness of a person from a marginalised and abused group minimalising the suffering of another is baffling. We need to support each other and fight for ALL our rights and not amongst each other surely?! We’re either ALL ok or none of us are ok Learn from this Please Diane It’s so important Pp
I'm sick to death of hearing about her an that what about the white,an every other colour that gets a racist attack against erm&what she said can't be any worse. What a disgrace
I feel Mr Ashworth should have been pushed more on what it was that Mr Raab did that 'crossed a line' or 'humiliated people'. I'm struggling to find evidence of either in the report.
What Diane Abbott said is a statement of facts and in no way is it anti- Semitic. The issue here is the game of protectorates that plays part in every section of United Kingdom.
If Mr Ashworth wants example of how much civil servants are when it comes to trying to get them to implement government policy he should speak to John Reid. It's not just the current government how has the issue, it was there in the last labour government.
Supporting republicanism is not a crime; most civilised countries are republics. The country is in desperate need of radical change, and the monarchy is the biggest impediment to that change. Watching the sly right-wing media trying to set amateurish traps for Labour MPs is tiresome.
When you hear the definition of racism as power + prejudice, the next thing out of their mouth will be racist guaranteed. It is the equivalent of saying, “ I’m not racist, but…”
nope but it isn't racism that jews experience, it's prejudice. irish people are white. they're not experiencing racism. xenophobia sure but racism? no. dianne said nothing wrong.
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 You do know there are subgroups on the ethnic scale for white, right? Breton, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Latin, Greek, Slavic, Roma, Irish... And yes, many of these have had abuse and racial hatred against them, not just prejudice and even if they are white, you can be racist to white people. Just like in Africa you have Bantu, Zulu, Yoruba, Fula. If 1 of these groups attacked and tried to wipe out/make another 2nd class, it would be called racism, same as with white groups.
question is, if dianne abbott is now saying she didn't mean what she wrote, does she really mean what she says aswell, an apology is what she has given, is that meant really? can she and why should peopl trust her in future. was boris johnsons apology enough over partygate.
Every nation has racists within. It comes as no surprise that in a multicultural setting each culture has its own share of racists. My family is multicultural, so we've seen it from many angles; we ignore racists, I certainly wouldn't want one as a relative, a neighbour, or a friend. Who in their right mind would? Diane has a very long history of being out of touch with RL and it really shows here. The time for her swansong is a tad overdue.
The thing we need is to move away from multiculturalism, we need to be multiracial with one foundation culture, then we're all on the same page. Multiculturalism has done nothing but harm to the UK, to the point people in the media now ask what are British values, what is British culture. A multiracial society in which we are colourblind and judge people on their character is amich better way to run things. If people who have moved here do not like that, why on earth did they come to Britain in the first place? It was bound to be British.
@@libertasdemocratiam887 "with one foundation culture" - the UN has a term for this, its called cultural genocide and is considered a crime against humanity. Just as a fyi. Even within the UK, there are tons of variable cultures among the anglo-saxon groups, yet alone the Travellers, Irish, Welsh, Breton/Celtic Cornish and so on.
@@mitchverr9330 you seriously need to go and read a book or ten on monoculture and the history of the UK. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Right or wrong, it is a point which can be debated but I don't think it deserves Starmer back stabbing. Hate to think what he'd be like as Prime Minister!

Her constituency are mostly made up from non white people who absolutely hate white people. Abbott has made a career from race baiting and saying "white people = bad" whilst her constituency is an unemployed, crime ridden dump.
What is it about weasel politicians these days, never being able to answer a direct question with honesty and clarity? They just skirt around it, and change the subject. Hopefully, this fool won’t ever get to be leader. But it really would not surprise me, he fits the bill perfectly.
Abbott’s letter said that Irish, Jewish and Traveller people “undoubtedly experience prejudice”, but added: “This is similar to racism" but not racism. Here's where she should have expanded. The Irish and the Jewish are white Caucasian. This means that unlike Black and Asian ethnic minorities, the colour of their SKIN means that they pass as white and also rather than the focus of discrimination be on their racial heritage and ethnicity, it is based on cultural practices. This is true. Its undeniable. Even so, does it still constitute as the definition of racism? Yes. It does. It's just different. I get what she was TRYING to say but I also see why it's offensive. You can't publish these kind of sentiments without explaining WHY its different to the racism experienced by blacks and Asians, etc.
How about racism from Jews towards blacks. As far as I am concerned Jews do not experience they experience prejudice! Only people who are oppressed which are black people experience racism - Jews are not oppressed are they -NO!
And out come the professionally offended, to misrepresent what was said, so they can incorrectly attack the person concerned, without bothering to find out what was really said, or why.
@@realnoahsimpson becuase they dont. Most jews look European becuase they are. If they dont tell anyone they are jewish no ones gonna walk past them and think they are jews. And we all know it. Many jews have blond hair blue eyes. They are white Europeans desperately trying to come accross as semetic
Whether it is offensive or not, is there any substance to the claim that non white people suffer discrimination more than other ethnic groups? Maybe there is some truth in what she says but no one debates that, they only focus on how offended they are.
No. There is no substance. I'm white Eastern European leaving in UK since 2005. We have suffered racism here since day one. Who is she to tell us that we suffer less? Why she thinks that she is entitled to judge this? Because she is Black? Ridiculous
@@michaelkrzak5414 yes. But you do suffer less racism than black poeple and you know it. Beecuase eastern Europeans themselves are also racist towards blacks. What she said is true. A polish man or jewish man that walks down london does not get nasty looks and poeple crossing the road. Poeppe wont even know your eastern European or jewish unless you have accent or tell them. Pls stop the lies
She is right. Technically. I don't hear the others in the group complaining. Only the people you're not allowed to mention. You could say she was Hoisted with her own petard.
I’m a firm Labour supporter. Diane Abbot deserved nothing less than to lose the whip for what she wrote. It was vile, racist, and unwelcome in Keir Starmer’s Labour
Her enthusiastic support for Irish Republican violence against British civilians should have disqualified her from ever taking a job in the UK parliament. The treasonous slug has been happy to draw her 86k salary from UK tax payers whilst doing little more than spreading bile and misinformation.

Good I hope not!!
How on earth have you defended her? She's a clear racist, she thinks people who are white cannot be victims of racism. She's said derogatory things about white people before, absolutely gone after Jewish people before, whom she seems to think are all white, apparently she doesn't know Jews come in all colours.
On top of that she's frankly so low on IQ her two examples she used in this piece, when claiming Irish peo never suffered racism, were examples of them not being oppressed in America and South Africa, completely ignoring the history of Britain and Ireland. The good Friday agreement's 25 th birthday was only last week, she should know better.
How on earth anyone could have defended this woman is beyond me.
she better be back. she did nothing wrong.
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 🤣🤣ok
Why were you defending her before?
Abacus Abbott has attacked the wrong people this time !
Anything anyone says that remotely sounds anti-Jewish is immediately labelled as anti-Semitic !
Abacus,you really have put he wrong show on the wrong foot in this time ! 😂😂😂😂😂 Big Time!
"the wrong show"?????????????????????????????????
Sorry!
Typo by UT, show = shoe. 😂
Happy now ? Good😊
Diane Abbott should have gone a long time ago. It’s not the first time either - what is said cannot be unsaid!
If I made comments like this publicly I'd probably be arrested and charged for doing so. Diane Abbott should be too.
That letter was completely offensive, factually wrong and should never have been sent.
However I don’t believe that Abbott is a hateful person and I think that I understand what she was TRYING to articulate.
She was saying that skin colour cannot be hidden and so prejudice, discrimination & harassment of those groups is relentless, 24/7 365,
In her view that makes it more severe- I believe that comes from her own person trauma from decades of abuse as the first Female Black MP
I don’t condone this, but from having Asian & Black close friends with children, I do understand it.
Be that as it may, her letter was wrong factually
Antisemitism is Racism -Jewish People are still targeted and even killed every day
I’m Half Irish and I’ve seen enough Racism against my Dads side and of the family
Traveller communities face appalling Racial abuse
I have MS and abuse of the Disabled is rife
The wrong mindedness of a person from a marginalised and abused group minimalising the suffering of another is baffling.
We need to support each other and fight for ALL our rights and not amongst each other surely?!
We’re either ALL ok or none of us are ok
Learn from this Please Diane
It’s so important
Pp
If any one said this to diane abbot she'd be screaming mad
Read what she said - AGAIN!
Without the" benefit" of being shown by the media, what to think!
Worst has been said to her and about her
Didnt whoopie goldburg say the same thing
Oh how the worm turns..
I'm sick to death of hearing about her an that what about the white,an every other colour that gets a racist attack against erm&what she said can't be any worse. What a disgrace
Her inferiority complex is enormous 🤣🏴👍🏻
I feel Mr Ashworth should have been pushed more on what it was that Mr Raab did that 'crossed a line' or 'humiliated people'. I'm struggling to find evidence of either in the report.
I totally agree.
What is there to look into she sent it to the paper so it’s there in black&white & she is not sorry at all
When she opens her mouth she fall's in it .
She shoulve stick to designing suits!
What Diane Abbott said is a statement of facts and in no way is it anti- Semitic. The issue here is the game of protectorates that plays part in every section of United Kingdom.
Not only is her letter offensive !, she is offensive !!
we are just knocking our heads, against a brick wall, always
If Mr Ashworth wants example of how much civil servants are when it comes to trying to get them to implement government policy he should speak to John Reid. It's not just the current government how has the issue, it was there in the last labour government.
Nother wrong with Diane's letter, spot on. You guys are just in denial of the facts. He can't talk about service of the British public.
It's not just her letter is utterly offensive.🎃🎃🎃
Here we go again the Woke Brigade on the moan again ....... get a life for christ sake
she said something offensive? well then by the authoritarian laws of this country she needs to be arrested
How was she still employed after the mathematics issues yrs ago?
Supporting republicanism is not a crime; most civilised countries are republics. The country is in desperate need of radical change, and the monarchy is the biggest impediment to that change. Watching the sly right-wing media trying to set amateurish traps for Labour MPs is tiresome.
“most civilised countries are republics.”
Japan, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada…nothing but barbarity.
When you hear the definition of racism as power + prejudice, the next thing out of their mouth will be racist guaranteed. It is the equivalent of saying, “ I’m not racist, but…”
As an MP, you have to be diplomatic. I know Black people suffer racism all the time. However, we must not belittle the racism suffered by others.
Oh, I'm bi racial and have had more racism directed at me by blacks
nope but it isn't racism that jews experience, it's prejudice. irish people are white. they're not experiencing racism. xenophobia sure but racism? no. dianne said nothing wrong.
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 so xenophobia is ok? Have you heard yourself
@@Andrea-ld9cyIdiot. The point is, it's NOT racism. Did you just wake up and miss the point of everything?
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 You do know there are subgroups on the ethnic scale for white, right? Breton, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Latin, Greek, Slavic, Roma, Irish... And yes, many of these have had abuse and racial hatred against them, not just prejudice and even if they are white, you can be racist to white people.
Just like in Africa you have Bantu, Zulu, Yoruba, Fula. If 1 of these groups attacked and tried to wipe out/make another 2nd class, it would be called racism, same as with white groups.
Rinse and repeat Diane. Rinse and repeat !
question is, if dianne abbott is now saying she didn't mean what she wrote, does she really mean what she says aswell, an apology is what she has given, is that meant really? can she and why should peopl trust her in future. was boris johnsons apology enough over partygate.
Hypocrites. The uproar against M/s Abbott proves the point she was trying to make.
Every nation has racists within. It comes as no surprise that in a multicultural setting each culture has its own share of racists. My family is multicultural, so we've seen it from many angles; we ignore racists, I certainly wouldn't want one as a relative, a neighbour, or a friend. Who in their right mind would? Diane has a very long history of being out of touch with RL and it really shows here. The time for her swansong is a tad overdue.
The thing we need is to move away from multiculturalism, we need to be multiracial with one foundation culture, then we're all on the same page. Multiculturalism has done nothing but harm to the UK, to the point people in the media now ask what are British values, what is British culture.
A multiracial society in which we are colourblind and judge people on their character is amich better way to run things.
If people who have moved here do not like that, why on earth did they come to Britain in the first place? It was bound to be British.
she isn't racist, though.
@@libertasdemocratiam887 "with one foundation culture" - the UN has a term for this, its called cultural genocide and is considered a crime against humanity. Just as a fyi. Even within the UK, there are tons of variable cultures among the anglo-saxon groups, yet alone the Travellers, Irish, Welsh, Breton/Celtic Cornish and so on.
@@mitchverr9330 you seriously need to go and read a book or ten on monoculture and the history of the UK. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 lol are u Diane in disguise every single comment u have written on get a life kid
Right or wrong, it is a point which can be debated but I don't think it deserves Starmer back stabbing. Hate to think what he'd be like as Prime Minister!
She's an incompetent fool & Starmer was waiting for the right to time remove her. She gave it to him.
What has Diane Abbot ever done that united people.
shame on him for defending Rosie Duffield, equally as bigoted as Diane Abbott
One can and should get impatient and even angry with pace of work n accomplishments in government. People need to grow thicker skin.
we can only assume all her voters agree with her considering the time she has fed at the trough
- The racism that black people have faced is a system put in place, generally, based on the typical physical characteristics blacks are considered to share. This system was created in order to allow for a hierarchy based on race around 'black' physical characteristics. It feels like Ms Abbot was just trying to differentiate between the type of prejudice faced by blacks and that faced by other races. A white jew would not have been forced into chattel slavery whereas a black jew would.
Her constituency are mostly made up from non white people who absolutely hate white people. Abbott has made a career from race baiting and saying "white people = bad" whilst her constituency is an unemployed, crime ridden dump.
I never voted for her. Yet we're stuck with her. Time to retire.
I'm really important that's why I'm Offended at everything that isn't as wonderful as me!
Labours mask has slipped to show the monster 💩 behind the mask
Why do her constituents keep voting for her?
“The racists will be offered by the truth of their racism!”
Diane Abbott has never came across as the most intelligent person, maybe that’s the problem.
About time Diane 'chairman Mao did more good than harm' Abbot was suspended
What is it about weasel politicians these days, never being able to answer a direct question with honesty and clarity? They just skirt around it, and change the subject. Hopefully, this fool won’t ever get to be leader. But it really would not surprise me, he fits the bill perfectly.
Abbott’s letter said that Irish, Jewish and Traveller people “undoubtedly experience prejudice”, but added: “This is similar to racism" but not racism.
Here's where she should have expanded. The Irish and the Jewish are white Caucasian. This means that unlike Black and Asian ethnic minorities, the colour of their SKIN means that they pass as white and also rather than the focus of discrimination be on their racial heritage and ethnicity, it is based on cultural practices. This is true. Its undeniable. Even so, does it still constitute as the definition of racism? Yes. It does. It's just different. I get what she was TRYING to say but I also see why it's offensive. You can't publish these kind of sentiments without explaining WHY its different to the racism experienced by blacks and Asians, etc.
You are a racist trying to re define racism
Fail
I am Irish. We pass as white! We are the whitest people in the world!
Jews aren't Caucasian
@ros lyn Who mentioned Judaism? Black and Asian Jews clearly experience racism due to their race.
It's hilarious how some people are using contorted logic to try and diminish the latest race-baiting gaff from Abbot.
She came off her Honda Fireblade a few years back and got head injuries.
How about racism from Jews towards blacks. As far as I am concerned Jews do not experience they experience prejudice! Only people who are oppressed which are black people experience racism - Jews are not oppressed are they -NO!
And out come the professionally offended, to misrepresent what was said, so they can incorrectly attack the person concerned, without bothering to find out what was really said, or why.
Where is the anti-semitism in that letter? I can't see it. Ignorance certainly, stupidity too, but "anti-semitism"? Nope.
Is this a draft ?
she said Jewish people don’t experience ‘lifelong’ racism
@@realnoahsimpson Yes, I know. Why is that "anti-semitic"? Are you sure you understand what the term means?
@@realnoahsimpson becuase they dont. Most jews look European becuase they are. If they dont tell anyone they are jewish no ones gonna walk past them and think they are jews. And we all know it. Many jews have blond hair blue eyes. They are white Europeans desperately trying to come accross as semetic
@@LordOfLight who is she to comment on what Jewish people have to live with
A racist being racist!😂
Dianne Abott said the fact nobody wants to hear the truth. Solidarity with Diane Abott.
What fact? She completely eliminated the holocaust and the pogroms! She has as close to the truth as Boris is to a hairbrush!
Indeed
Jelleh-jeff sister!
I thought she was a tv personality.
She needs to retire. She has long been a liability to the Labour party.
Kept her seat since the 80s hasnt she?
Him in charge of London as been just as bad as her yet he is still in the job he should be removed from THE JOB IN
LONDON HE IS RACIST .
Get her out of politics
Never has made any sense
Dianne Abbott's offensive, full stop. Always has been, no need to qualify it.
She said nothing wrong !!!!
Whether it is offensive or not, is there any substance to the claim that non white people suffer discrimination more than other ethnic groups? Maybe there is some truth in what she says but no one debates that, they only focus on how offended they are.
No. There is no substance. I'm white Eastern European leaving in UK since 2005. We have suffered racism here since day one. Who is she to tell us that we suffer less? Why she thinks that she is entitled to judge this? Because she is Black? Ridiculous
@@michaelkrzak5414 yes. But you do suffer less racism than black poeple and you know it. Beecuase eastern Europeans themselves are also racist towards blacks. What she said is true. A polish man or jewish man that walks down london does not get nasty looks and poeple crossing the road. Poeppe wont even know your eastern European or jewish unless you have accent or tell them. Pls stop the lies
She’s Black In Britain What Do You Expect…👀 👩🦳👱🏻♀️ We’re True British…
Well said. 👍🏻
It will be your turn to take on the Blob soon enough Ashworth. Good luck.
She is right. Technically. I don't hear the others in the group complaining.
Only the people you're not allowed to mention.
You could say she was Hoisted with her own petard.
I’m a firm Labour supporter. Diane Abbot deserved nothing less than to lose the whip for what she wrote. It was vile, racist, and unwelcome in Keir Starmer’s Labour
Starmer the red tory.
it wasn;t racist you clown.
@@hughzapretti-boyden9187 Diane Abbott and Corbyn want a brown shirt Labour. Militant anti Semitism.
@@hughzapretti-boyden9187 Based Starmer purging the party of trots. Long may it continue.
@jeff Starmer the Tory
Her excuse is it was a draft copy which she wrote so had the intention of making the comnents anyway. Should be sacked by Starmer?
she got cancelled. live by the sword die by the sword
How could ANYBODY take her to bed, beggars belief Corbyn.
Stop picking on Diane Abbott, for God's sake. What she said is true. Black gets the worst of Racism.
But she is not wrong.
Her face is even more offensive
Here we go again " holier than thou
If I remember correctly didn't Abbott support Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the beginning?
I found that utterly offensive as well.
Whoever pays the piper picks the tune
Her enthusiastic support for Irish Republican violence against British civilians should have disqualified her from ever taking a job in the UK parliament. The treasonous slug has been happy to draw her 86k salary from UK tax payers whilst doing little more than spreading bile and misinformation.
There really is no concern when you need to branch out for beggar's beginners
This is Labour through and through! Rotten to the core!
Is not mentioning an ethnicity or religion while discussing racism in itself racist? Interesting.
Anti semitism is rife in the Labour Party
