Labour Finally Comment
“We disagree with Diane’s tweet. It is wrong to make sweeping generalisations about any race, creed, or culture. The Labour Party has always campaigned against such behaviour – and so has Diane Abbott.”
Time for an apology, or it won’t be the last comment they have to make about their Shadow Health Minister…
UPDATE: Firstly there was this:
And now this:
“I understand people have interpreted my comments as making generalisations about white people. I do not believe in doing that. I apologise for any offence caused.”
It comes as no surprise that Guido’s speculation that it was Ed on the phone turned out to be correct. It sounds like she has a gun to her head. Why did this take hours? Thought it was “taken out of context”? A long morning…
“It is wrong to make sweeping generalisations about any race, creed, or culture”
that in itself is a sweeping generalisation.
Still think she should be given another Brilloing!
Too little too late !
Too far , too fast !
What will become clear quite quickly is that the right will not pursue the left with the same venomous vitriol displayed all too often when roles are reversed.
Cameron sacked ANY shadow minister of any rank when they did less than she has.
Miliband is harbouring a racist in his shadow cabinet. The left are a bunch of vile closet racists and now we all know it!
Carole Thatcher got sacked from the One Show because of a private, off-air, non-public comment. Breath held waiting for the BBC to do the same to Abbott and sack her from the “This Week” programme. Actually I won’t risk holding my breath.
The left defend racists, but only based on the colour of their skin!
Well said Mr Ned, Ab-bouter is yer typical over promoted Liebourite, all heart. mouf and empty head.
Look back in horror at HMaj’s former govt — Watson, McBride, Dolly Draper….
Will Diane the Mouf walk? Nooooo way.
Flabbot is an ugly racist.
She isn’t exactly an oil-painting either.
How did her offspring get on at their hideously white old colonial private school she insisted they attend rather than the dreadful local Labour inspired sink comprehensive stabbing academy (only fit for us plebs)?
“It is wrong”
Not racist, then??
‘White people love playing divide and rule…’
Yes, people have interpreted your comments as making generalisations about white people Diane, and they are certainly interpreting them accurately.
It can’t be because she is a black female MP. She cannot be racist or ever utter a racist comment as that would be against the rules of the Labour Party and the political dogma that it swept into our country. Only white people can be racist it seems.
We should STOP accepting it a tackle ALL racism in ALL races and in all communities.
If we don’t, then there will be a massive backlash and it will not be whites sho will be the victims!
I understand that my generalisations about white people have been interpreted as generalisations about white people. I never thought anyone would notice. I’m deeply irritated at the furore this has caused.
Signed,
A. Bigot (MP)
Hackney
No matter what colour a cow may be, it’s still a cow.
Diane Abbott apologises over ‘racist’ comment on Twitter, but not on camera…..
I like Sophy Ridge.
I saw her first !
Clegg thinks her remarks were stupid and crass, not bigoted and racist? Why then, were Patrick Mercer’s comments “deeply shocking” and he was forced to resign?
One’s a black woman, the other’s a white man. No contest.
We would like to remind all our MPs to tweet personal remarks that may reveal our parties intention to persecute white people if we were to regain power is simply wrong.
There’s no chance of power
But it is not about any “race, creed, or culture”
Being a racist isn’t Abbots most abhorrent trait, its being pig-shit thick.
nailed it .
Diane Abbott is not thick but she is racist.
An apology won’t be enough. She must go.
+1
She must stay. Every time she opens her fat maw, voters are reminded of the poison that is the Labour party.
Exactly. For this same reason Ed M should stay in post and Ed B his deputy.
+ 1

It’s much worse than Carol Thatcher’s behaviour for a start.
Do you mean g o ll ies? (and I bet that doesn’t pass guidocensor!)
Again, had it been an indigenous person making similar comments they would be hounded out of their job, with the twatter storm encouraged by the BBC and Guardian, with no opportunity to give context etc.
To be fair, in this case the context doesnt help Ms Abbot, as it clearly shows what she thinks of White people AND what she thinks about Black people who dont buy into her way of thinking. It also reveals her weasel words justifying what she said to be a pack of lies. The leadt said about the context the better old chap.
+ 1
If she does not get sacked then we will know for sure that race laws are just there to control free speech and stifle debate amongst white people about our wonderful rainbow utopia.
LABOUR!: A POLICEMAN IN EVERY WHITE PERSONS HEAD.
That is what they have achieved – just like in all left wing dictatorships – they put fear of expressing yourself or debating into your consciousness.
She doesn’t need to resign – we know that already.
Another example of weak leadership by Miliband for not sacking her
immediately for this vile racist comment.
I’m conflicted by this. On the one hand anything that brings this corpulent, odious toad down a notch is fine by me but I hate using the Nu Labour “racist” card to beat her with. Far better to restore freedom of speech in this country so that the Miss Diane’s of this world can say what they want about us oppressive honkies and the likes of Starkey can be free to opine at length about the benefits of b***k culture.
Who is this Starkey you speak of?
We have no record of such a person at Minibeeb.
We will cross check our files with Minigraun.
Remember comrade, we do not speak of those who have been deleted.
Who is this Starkey you spe@k of?
We have no record of such a person at Minibeeb.
We will cross check our files with Minigraun.
Remember comrade, we do not speak of those who have been deleted.
I agree entirely. I’m sick of hearing the “Racist!” cry every time someone opens their mouth. If this Abbott woman can defend her views, let her get on and debate them. If people have views about blacks, let them get on and debate them, argue their point, give examples.
We have at least one area where free speech just isn’t allowed. A complete repressive dictatorship reigns over this subject. Look at Milliband’s declaration. Resentment will grow, hidden discontent will fester when people are not allowed to have views, not able to voice them and discuss them in whatever field.
So let Diane Abbott have her say, so long as other people who disagree can have theirs as well.
Thats the point everyone is making. Do keep up.
+ 100 Peace and Love
“….and so has Diane Abbott.”
Clearly not, or perhaps they didn’t understand.
The Laboured Party just keep sinking in a mire of their own making.
Exactly.
She apparently campaigns against such behaviour then goes and does it.
Talk about congnative dissonance!
It’s called hypocrisy, plain and simple. Liebour have no compunction whatsoever when it comes to double standards. Indeed, they are far and away the most accomplished party in this sickening practice.
REVISIONIST!!!
That’s why they won’t sack her. They are so used to hypocrisy that they see absolutely nothing wrong with what she said.
Psychological projection
Not acting in a manner that we would castigate in others and unhesitatingly smear them as racist for so doing is for little people.
We are the Labour Party. Join for £1.
Well said, would you like a job?
Maybe for 10p, tops.
One law for them and another for us.
One law for you, and another law for you
Right! Don’t ever think differently, you is not racist, but you think that Carol Thatcher was right to be sacked for saying a lot less than you! lol
As a Shadow Minister she is casting a dark shadow over Westminster.
A fairly broad one too.
Looks like 5 O’Clock Shadow to me.
I’d be careful with the word ‘dark’ if I were you. You know what those Nazi racist Liebore types are like.
Shouldn’t that be ‘black’ shadow?
I mean, lets call a kettle a kettle and a spade a spade…
Well that’s all right then. Phew!
Weak. Like Ed Miliband.
TITOIST!!!
Would those be the same white folk who ‘divide and rule’ by sending their kids to private schools ?
Thank you, comrade.
She’s casting a dark shadow
Her chin has got some dark shadow in that video.
More weak leadership from Ed Miliband. Abbott must resign.
Abbott went too far and too fast.
Clearly the Labour party is flatlining.
She shouldn’t be allowed to resign. She should have been fired from her post and dismissed from the Nazi Liebore Party as soon as her remarks were in the public domain.
No. You can’t defend free speech and then cry out for dismissal as soon as someone opens their mouth.
You can accuse her of hypocrisy, you can defend our historical record, which in my view is as admirable as most nation’s, but stop subscribing to this witch-hunt mentality every time someone has a view on racial matters.
We have sent her our new 50p coin.
The offside rule is less confusing than the code of political correctness.
Dont mention the offside rule, we did once and it cost us our jobs.
“We disagree with Diane’s tweet. It is wrong to make sweeping generalisations about any race, creed, or culture. -yes we know such comments are considered racist
The Labour Party has always campaigned against such behaviour – and so has Diane Abbott.”-yes we know such behaviour is considered hypocricy
To make matters worse rather than apologise Abbott has lied to us in that very patronising way she is famed for about the context of her comments.
Racism, hypocricy and dishonesty , whats there not to resign about ?
By the way her so called apology issued after crisis talks with Team Milliband, is nothing of the sort. Resign.
BIG JOBBY!!
Only white people can be accused of hypocrisy then ?
I’m trying to understand the rules.
No, you have understood them perfectly! Only white people can be accused of racism. If black people do it, it’s called ‘truth’ and ‘justified’.
What about white people who live in caravans – aka the ‘travelling communiteh’? Can they be racist?
Hmmm. A tricky one.
Hang on a mo while I consult the Guardian style guide.
I too am confused.
If I make a sweeping generalisation such as “black people tend to have better, whiter teeth than white folks” am I a racist?
Do I need counselling?
Why does Abbott keep prattling on about the British empire? No one is alive who was responsible for it.
I don’t keep fucking going on about the Romans or Vikings who raped and butchered my ancestors by their thousands.
Abbott is a tired old stuck record, she’s a racist.
Also, if it wasn’t for the British Empire, she wouldn’t be living in London on a salary of £65,738 plus expenses, living allowance and gold-plated final-salary non-contributory pension.
Her son, if he’d survived infancy, certainly wouldn’t have gone to a top public school, either.
DA is in the shad cab, so her ‘salary’ will be a lot higher than that.
Pretty little thing, though…..
my ancestors had no slaves in fact like most their lot was little better than slaves .they died ,up chimneys,down mines,hanged for stealing so not to starve, where’s the left’s narrative on that?
Diane Abbott, the shadow health minister, has been accused of racism after she posted a comment on Twitter which said “white people” liked to play “divide and rule”.
The FA have issued her with an eight match ban.
EX Sky Billy. Guido likes you to HT
Like labours attempt to divide society with a class war before the last election .
Not really anything so ambitious. Simply a rallying call to their core vote, which they see as the poor and downtrodden, or to use that most popular of words, the number one buzzword of 2011 (and in the running early for 2012) “vulnerable”.
being a retard obviously has no problem with skin colour
Did I miss it or are the BBC lying?
Well they are putting the best spin on it they can but actually I think she’s fucked.
Hurrah!
The BBC have taken her quote out of context.
I understand people have interpreted my comments as ….
So it wasn’t her fault but the fault of those who took the wrong inference from what she was trying to say !!
If that’s a fucking apology then I’m a Chinaman.
Wun hung low, is that you?
I can’t easily dig it up on Google, but under the Labour government there was a case where a person deemed someone’s comment to be homophobic. The person who made the comment denied that the comment was homophobic (the comment was along the lines of “ooh, get you, dear!”). Guidance issued to the police was: a comment IS homophobic if a person who hears the comment DEEMS IT TO BE homophobic.
I would guess the same rules apply for comments deemed to be racist.
The MCPherson report contained the following definition of a racist incident as ” any incident in which any person deems to be racist”
I rest my case.
How else were we supposed to interpret her comment?
She’s a racist.
She must go.
If she doesn’t go then the whole of this preposterous hatespeach/thoughtcrime legislation needs to be expunged from the statute books as it clearly only applied to some and not others.
But take your pick! Which would you prefer to go: one blabbermouthing politician or the whole “preposterous hatespeech/thoughtcrime legislation”?
Personally, I think it would be healthier to see the latter go.
And the best way to get rid of it is to expose what can happen if applied consistently. Do please try and follow the argument.
I must agree.
How else were we supposed to interpret her comment?
She’s a racist.
She must go.
If she doesn’t go then the whole of this preposterous hatespe@ch/thoughtcrime legislation needs to be expunged from the statute books as it clearly only applied to some and not others.
so if anyone is offended it’s because they have misinterpreted the comment which was taken out of context?
Yep !
“I understand people have interpreted my generalisations about white people as making generalisations about white people.
I do not believe in doing that. I just do it.
I have been told that I apologise for any offence caused.”
Ed Miliband could have used this as a moment to sack her. She’s a liability. Not front bench material. But The Plonker dithered again.
front bench shaping up well, the man who shafted his brother and backed Brown, the 3rd choice Chancellor who was in with McBride, the Deputy who allowed her husband to bypass the all women shortlists, the women who thinks ALL whites divide and rule…….. looking more unelectable by the second.
and forgot Liam (Mr Byrne) ‘there’s no money left’ Byrne
Don’t forget Andrew Neather (ok, not a front bencher but still one of them)
To quote the Speccie:
As the former Labour speechwriter, Andrew Neather, put it, the policy (unfettered immigration) was intended to ‘rub the right’s noses in it’ and chastise them with the massed ovine bleat of ‘raaaaaaaaacccccist’ should they possibly object.
Agreed.
He could have looked (however fleetingly) like a leader. Like a (slightly) decisive man.
But instead he wimps out. Funks it. Fails.
How utterly and depressingly predictable of Ed.
On a recent business trip to Ireland I was looking out of my hotel window and noticed two irishmen, one was digging a hole and the other was coming behind him filling it back in again! “how strange” I thought and went off to my next meeting. Later that afternoon I returned to the hotel to notice the two irishmen still going, one digging a hole and the other filling it back in! I could no longer watch I just had to ask them what they were doing. I approached one of the irishmen and politely asked “excuse me, I couldnt help but notice you digging all these holes and your friend just filling them back in again, whats the point of that”? the irishman smiled and replied ” well theres usually three of us but the one who plants the trees has got the day off”!
Classic!
Apparently the Labour Party (and therefore the BBC and The Guardian) accept lower standards of behaviour from black people. Its OK for black people to make sweeping racist remarks and then excuse them by saying they were misunderstood because they don’t know any better.
“people have interpreted my comments as making generalisations about white people”
There’s no interpretation needed, she said “white people” and went on to make a sweeping generalisation about behaviour based on skin tone.
She’s a disgrace. Worse, she’s gaffe prone and it shows Miliband’s poor judgement to have given her a job.
Shes also a liar
Labour Party rules prevent a Labour opposition leader from choosing his or her own cabinet members. It’s put to a vote among Labour MPs, as the leader isn’t trusted to make the choice.
Speaks volumes really, doesn’t it?
That rule was actually changed at the 2011 labour conference, so Miliband does have the power to sack her.
Will he have the courage to sack her? He clearly knows that her comments were wrong. If it had been a white MP making equivalent racist remarks in the tory party, Miliband would be screaching till his adenoids burst for Cameron to sack them.
Has he sacked her yet? Or is he still protecting a racist in his shadow cabinet?
The outrage about Abbott on Radio Five Labour is incredible, their Celt/northern presenters are going on about it non stop!!!
Having a go at Abbott is racist
You’re not wrong.
That is in essence the BBC/Guardian perception of the matter.
I’m not kidding. I see it from the inside every day.
yep its probaly those same ‘white people’ that were responsible for bringing Abotts family here from wherever in the first place enabling her to get to where she is now.Ungrateful fat muppet.
That bigoted woman!
hahah …good one
Yet again she’s been allowed to get away with it because Milliband is Labour’s most useless leader of all time.
He’s desperately afraid of Hattie and her wimmin’s lobby and of this black woman in particular.
So Ed, why not tell us how many people Diane must offend and how many times in order for you to sack her rather than go on indulging her?
If you don’t fire her then more racist outbursts are guaranteed from her – it’s just a matter of time…
No, she should stay. Having an openly anti-white racist in the Labour shadow cabinet is a very very good thing. It further reduces the (already unlikely) chances of Labour winning the next election.
I agree. This comment is for use on an appropriate occasion in the future. Presumably Ed’s now so weak that he can’t afford to pick a fight with her and her cronies. It gives Boris some cover if Labour try to resurrect some of his gaffes in the mayoral election.
Going by what she claims she meant or what she considers was ‘taken out of context’, it’s not the public but her who could do with a refresher course in reading and comprehension.
Sky news now reporting that it was Ed himself who interupted Abotts interview with the fortuitous phone call.
Ps Guido is it to early to begin a Dont Unseat Dianne Abbott Association ?
I’ve always thought that Dianne Abbott has a mouth and ego much bigger than her brain
What brain?
Not bigger than her arse though. Is that fatist?
H-e-e-e-e-y-y-y, A-b-b-o-o-o-o-t-t!
DUDASS?? That sounds good to me
Abbott is brainless, stupid and thick.
Oh, and of course carries the full complement of chips and railway ties around with her, to constantly remind her of the racist whitey scum who elected her, who pay her salary and expenses and give the silly girl a living.
But, no doubt in her mind she knows she’s right, that all whites are racist, that she’s put upon, and what she tweeted was righteous and bang on and the apology is just words which she doesn’t mean.
She must be sacked, racism works both ways, and she has clearly shown the other side.

What defines our leaders isn’t so much what they say, or indeed what scrapes they get themselves into. It’s how they then act and respond to the fall-out.
At the very best, Abbott’s words were stupid and thoughtless. But her behaviour when challenged (when under pressure) gives a deeper insight in to her true personality and beliefs. Despite what Chucky and other apologists might say about her being a champion of equality, her tweet gave us a glimpse of someone for whom ‘equality’ is just a word – some members of society are more deserving of her type of equality than others, it would appear.
But in going on to lie about the context of her tweet we see a different Abbott – the cynical one that you can see on all those Brillo clips on this site. And then in the really telling Sky interview you see someone who was not only prepared to lie about context -she was determined not, under any circumstances, to apologise or more importantly, to retract what she said. She could have done so from the outset and defused this – she wouldn’t – this was what betrayed her true feeling about white people and her naked racism.
And then of course according to Abbott, it was not her fault if malicious bloggers were going to deliberately misinterpret the tweet (I think that she means you Neo!).
And then the phone rang…and Miliband apparently told her to apologise. Which she did in the most perfunctory fashion.
It’s not good enough. Anyone can be told to apologise, but Abbott’s let the cat out of the bag. In her actions, she’s told us all what she really thinks of ‘whitey’. And of course as I write this, she hasn’t retracted a single word.
This is so sad, so senseless. I thought that we had largely cracked this and that the UK was a nation that we could be proud to live side by side in.
Your last para is spot on – that’s why a few hundred thousand indiginous folks emigrate annually.
We know.
Only those whites in the public sector and welfare junkies still support them.
Emma West has her kids taken from her for expressing her views, yet Abbott is defended by the left?
The law in this land is there to oppress and suppress the white British.
You can’t even spell right on Twitter. Adult literacy courses may be in order, Mr. Bowden, perhaps “English as a Second Language.”
Only a knob would mistake a typo for a spelling error. You knob.
Is it a typo or misspelling? You make the call!
Diane Abbot is hideously Black.
She’s hideously fat. Hideously arrogant. And hideously racist.
(Apologies in advance if any offence is caused to those over the ideal weight/height ratio, those who have no self-esteem and those who are white, black, yellow, brown, half-brown, albino and anyone else who does not feel to be a member of any of the above tribes)
Lies again from Abott – she has form. She made headlines after complaining that “blonde, blue-eyed Finnish girls” in her local hospital in east London were unsuitable as nurses because they had “never met a black person before”. Inferior care and compassion by blondes ?
and
West Indian women would go to the wall for their children.’ superior being in terms of care and concern for a child education ?
She loves (present tense note) making racist generalisation and often does does so. “…as making generalisations about white people. I do not believe in doing that. I apologise for any offence caused.” Liar
And that black people require a different approach to white people in east London hospitals.
I say let her keep her job so that we are constantly reminded of what a bunch of chancers now occupy the Labour Party.
If Michael Foot were alive today, he’d have to dye his hair.
She’s saying that racism as practised by white people is genetic. So if white people can’t help being racist because that is their genetic legacy then £millions need to be spent immediately on protecting racists from criticism.
So Miliband won’t sack her as she “has campaigned for black people”. Well, as a black racist she would have wouldn’t she?
+1
I wonder if Milipede will hire Nick Griffin, on the basis that Nick “has campaigned for white people.”
Come on, Milipede: It would be racist not to.
As the good Bishop has pointed out, NOT sacking her is racist. Ed’s expectations of his black MPs is obviously so low that he excuses this sort of behaviour by them. A white MP wouldn’t have had time to pick up his expenses and clear his desk.
Dear Cat.
The only GOOD bishop is a DEAD bishop.
Or a choked bishop
I feel inclined to agree.
Consider GOOD deleted.
Whitey always be keepin’ me down. It be the goddamn white man who be makin’ me smoke dis here crack. It be the goddamn white man who be makin’ me rob and steal. It be the goddamn white man who be wreckin’ my free council flat.
When o when will da legacy of da white man’s racism end?
I, fo’ one, t’ank Jeebus dat we in da black community has da leadership of wunnerful lunimaries and interlecturals like Miss Diane Abbot. She also be a fine-lookin’ ho.
Violence, drugs, shooting and stabbing are rich features of their culture. We must understand, embrace and celebrate all aspects of their culture, not make judgements on it based on our Western-Imperialist capitalist aggressor background.
See? Dat’s what I be sayin’! Da goddamn be enslavin’ my ass for fo’ hunnerd years. He ain’t gots no bidiness tellin’ me dat I can’t be pimpin’ and stabbin’ and dealin’ drugs and rapin’ dem fine white hos.
I have tears in my eyes as I am typing……
If she was white she would get the Emma West treatment.
Chuka never gives a straight answer Ummuna has just been on BBC News 24. He says Dianne Abbott is not a racist.
Wrong again Chuka!
Weak leadership from Ed Miliband. Not far enough and not fast enough!
Chucka now on SKY making weasel excuses for racist comments. Strange that he doesnt excuse others on the same grounds.
Only da white man can be raciss, you honkey cracka-ass muddafugga?
Where my reparations be at?
Is that you again Mr Phillips?
Diane Abbott is a vile racist and should be investigated for attempting to incite race hatred against white people! Someone should make a complaint to the police for these offensive racist remarks. Meanwhile Emma West appears in court for having a drunken rant about immigration on a tram.
Ed Miliband plays race detective, judge and jury but when it comes to his very own racist Diane Abbott he turns a blind eye. Despicable double standards by Ed Miliband.
I’ve always thought that Dianne Abbot has an ego and mouth far bigger than her brain
Its not as big as her arse though………
Chucka now lying his head off as only a lawyer can by stating that Abott has now “unreservedly” apologised. Um no she hasnt, theres nothing unreserved about her weasel apology. She is sill lying about the context and what she meant.
Yes indeed.
We were in the wrong for misinterpreting her Tweet and this attack is unwarrented and probably racially motivated.
Chucka can squirm all he wants. She’s not getting off the hook.
She must go or any shred of credibility Labour had left will blow away on the rather strong winds we are enjoying today.
I would have thought importing millions of foreigners into this country to rub the indigenous people’s noses in it, is pretty much divide and rule.
Correct….it’s what Socialists do…..create victims as a class, champion said victims and, if successful, join the bourgeois nomenklatura as a reward.
See Kinnock and a supporting cast of thousands in Labour la-la land.
“Former MP George Galloway today waded in on the furore by defending Abbot.”
That must worry her.
Is this the same George Gallow who has recently called for Civil disorder at Thatchers funeral. I tnought people got a visit by the Police when posting such online incitement. 2years in the Jail is the going rate . Or so I thought.
Diane Abbott for Labour Leader!!!
I apologise even before I make the next remark (in order to save time.)
My friend, Koos van der Merwe, said It is time Ed got the sjambok out and gave her a damn good beating until she learns her lesson.
Answer the question before last is pretty good too…
In her campaign to unseat Ernie Roberts in Hackney she outrageously claimed:
‘the people of Hackney don’t want to be represented by a white old man’, Roberts was a socialist with a fine track record of representing the people of Hackney, who compares very highly than that of the middle class, hypercritical, opportunist Abbott
Funny how areas with large ethnic minorities must be represented by ethnic minorities, but predominately white areas can be represented by anyone.
I agree – that IS fu@king racist!
Muddafugga, Asia be fo’ da Asians. Africa be for da Africans. Whitey’s countries be fo’ errybody.
Whitey’s money as well you mean.
I knew Ernie Roberts. Didn’t agree with his politics but he was a decent man.
But Abbott has plenty of form for making racist comments over the years. The Brillo grilling showed her up for being a nasty fat racist.
Any Tory MP making the comments she did would be fired by now, if he wasn’t the BBC/Guardian/ Nu Liebore/ Unions would be up in arms.
So what?
The Labour Party is riddled with institutional double standards.
The BBC , institutionally hypocrites.
Yeah but what you gonna do about it? We’ll still get a few million votes whatever we do. We have proved that time and again.
We don’t care and neither do we care if you do.
Wasn’t it Ed Miliband that said Cameron was wrong to give Coulson a second chance. So why is Miliband giving Abbott a second chance? Hypocrisy!
What goes through your mind-comes out through your mouth!
i regurgitated an inflatable woman the other day, I have to agree with you then.
Any comments from Carol Thatcher? Happy New Year Blaggers nice to be back!
Time for her to move her fat arse out of Hackney. She’s rich enough to retire…
The Labour Party has always campaigned against such behaviour – and so has Diane Abbott.”
Quite clearly, she doesn’t.
Two days ago a 20 year old was abducted, murdered and her body left in the boot of a car. Unfortunately, you won’t hear much about it because the victim was white and the alleged perpetrator was black. No efforts are being made to find him because all Met police are engaged on phone hacking and wild goose chases in pursuit of racism.
Actually, the perpetrator has been arrested and charged with murder.
I’m as bored shitless by left-wing finger-waggers as everyone else, but lets get our facts straight.
Well no-one told me.
The memo’s under your cow pie
Google “Kris Donald”. A 15 year old boy brutally murdered by Pakistani racists who were the sheltered by their local community.
The facts of the case were suppressed by the police, courts and Crown office (including keeping the actual injuries inflicted on the boy from the public) and the media joined in to keep this secret.
Compare it to the lynch mob mentality surrounding the alleged (although probably innocent) killers of Steven Lawrence.
Ed needs a white person to resign on her behalf.
Very soon after the Clarkson “shoot the strikers ” joke on the One Show Ed Miliband branded the comments “absolutely disgraceful and disgusting”.
Nearly 24 hours after the Abbott racist tweet Ed Miliband has said absolutely nothing.
What a loser.
I don’t think there should be any black football players in the professional game. They are more trouble than they’re worth.
They obviously don’t realise how upset righties get about racism.
It took you all morning to think up that one?
Sorry I’ve just sen this. To save time has anyone yet asked why there is a Black Police Society but if you started a White Police Society there’s be uproar?
Not that I’m saying you’re in any way predictable.
You lefties seriously need to get out of bed earlier.
(Don’t tell me – I suppose you would have if only Thatcher hadn’t decimated this country’s manufacturing base etc etc.)
Jimmy only gets out of bed when his union orders him to, NuLab organises a sub-committee to look into it and a consensus approves the action.
Other than that, he’s a free man.
You may be familiar with the expression “You have to get up early in the day to get the better of…”
It will never be used about you.
Cheers for that, Mr Jimmy. Anyhow… I assume now you are out of bed you will be leading the Great Leap Forward on behalf of Socialists everywhere. Just as you have been ordered.
Just be careful not to have an original thought as you do what you’re told. It doesn’t do Socialists any good to be original.
They say the early bird catches the worm – which just goes to show how stupid worms are. You’d think they’d have learned by now, wouldn’t you?
They early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Sacking a black person for racism is like being kicked out of the Gestapo for cruelty. We all know they’re at it but it’ll never happen.
In a long and illustrious political career at Westminster, Ms Abbott-Costello has not even reached the ranks of a PPS.
If she has any talent, it is hard to understand why two Labour PMs left her to fester on the back benches for so long from 1997-2010, the implication is that she was only fit to be voting fodder.
Yet Deadwood thinks that she is Shaddow Minister material.
First sending her son to a private school, now making racist comments: is Diane Abbott a Tory MP?
Liar; her original tweet was written in the present tense – as this obese lump regularly likes to remind us all, she was educated at Cambridge, so presumably, knows the difference between past and present tense.
Cambridge has been practising positive discrimination every since the 50s/60s. No ethnic or religious minority who has attended Cambrige since then can be considered to have even half a brain.
The Milliband brothers divided and Fat Abbott failed to conquer
You should not disparage the gravitationally challenged
She said what????????????
“Andrew, I’ve got nothing more to say…”
Ed Miliband is dividing and conquering now! Maybe it was him she was referring to… certainly dividing, although not conquering….
why in the name of sweet fuck do the family of the murdered Indian get a trip to Parliament, and a platform to question the work of the police, given a suspect has been charged already.
Good work by the cops, I’d say.
I expect Keith Vaz is helping them to set up charidees and trusts in their son’s name, explaining how they can become ‘human rights activists’ and giving a hand with their claim forms for compensation and citizenship. Keith Vaz is a renowned racist and only gives special personal service to Asians.
Yes, Vaz leaping in here was so predictable. Would he have been buzzing around if some student from, say, Poland had been murdered? How can such people claim that we should treat all people alike regardless of skin colour when they clearly don’t themselves?
Would that be Keith Vaz of Vaz and Abbot LLP, purveyors of yuman rites to deserving cases?
Has CLOG complained to the Old Bill yet?
If she was a footballer she would be facing an 8 match ban and £40,000 fine.
You can tell how Red Ed takes after Gordon.
Goes from one crisis to the next.
And that’s just in opposition.
Thank goodness they’re not in government.
Labour people love playing “divide & rule”.
They love to divide us from our money and then rule over us.
How does a tweet get taken out of context? But there again, as the common chant of all politicians caught out is always that it was “out of context” then we shouldn’t be surprised.
But it will be fun watching liebore justifying her comment.
Presumably then, as a member of the institutionally racist white establishment, she is a traitor to her race.
You can’t have it both ways – can you ?
If you think it is racist, I do, then as it has been pointed out here earlier today, IT IS RACIST !
Twitter ye not !
With Ed now universally disliked and discredited, who could blame her latest manoeuvre for the Labour leadership?
If Abbott stays it will prove that indeed racism is a one way affair.
It will be very damaging indeed for race relations in the UK.
She must go.
Otherwise I think it could turn out to be more inflammatory than words alone.
Good ole’ Ed, I wonder what Diane thinks of him….phone, divide, rollicking, rule…
She got caught this time yet once again… but remember, what you see is only the tip of the iceberg, she is a habitual racist.
She’s been spreading racist poison casually for years, amongst her ‘community’ — and her’s is the worst kind of incitement, because she is claiming to be an anti-racism activist and is using that halo(and funding) to promote her racist agenda and to rally her racist followers.
However, it’s not only her you have to consider as a racist, it’s her entourage as well, who have for years agreed with and supported her racist ideas and thinking.
As they say: the fish stinks from head first…
I’m suprised she didn’t blame the tweet on an intern. After all, that’s the excuse she gave when opinion poll figures were tweeted from her account during the Remembrance two minutes’ silence.
I like Diane but racism of any kind is to be abhorred – and her comments are racist. The law must applly equally. She should resign and should be subject to the law.
Oh, you are a tease…!!
You like Abbott! For fuck’s sake you must be really hard up.
No, just trying to be fair and impartial. I am sure that is the philosophy the Liebour party will adopt.
Ed famously said in May 2011, when it was Kenneth Clarke’s turn to open his mouth and put his foot in it, that he “should not be in his post by the end of the day.”
Now here’s Ed’s chance to put into practice that which he preached when he was being high and mighty. Go on, Ed. Show us how it’s done.
You want to be taken seriously as a leader.
Now the boot is on the other foot, let’s see if you will hold your Shadow Ministers to the same high standard you expected of the Conservatives…
Anyone hear that black dude on sky saying black people cannot be racist?
FFS will everyone just calm down.
D.A. was simply serving up a luke warm helping of cliched left wing clap-trap. The best way to counter such stuff is to yawn and change the subject. She is perfectly entitled to tweet her views. If Ed sacks her he is a greater fool than hitherto assumed. I read her comments and was most definitely not offended. In any way. But then I am a dog.
Diane Abbot is a Stupid, lying, duplicitous, two faced, racist, grossly overweight black cow.
Labour should sack her, then again can’t sack a nig-nog for being what she is
I feel for the women, I really do. How things can be taken out of context beggars belief.
It’s difficult to see how ‘out of context’ can apply to Twitter which apparently has limited text (I don’t use it myself so I’m only going off what I’ve heard).
Lets not start this again, just admit it…
Great clip. Like something out of ‘The thick of it’. Simon Schama must be embarrassed to have taught her.
She’s a black women so “its all for the greater good” come on chaps follow the narrative…, didn’t you know only white people are capable of being racist …
Her comments were not taken out of context as she claimed. Abbott is a disgusting fat, ugly hypocrite and a closet r acist to boot. She despises the indigenous white population and like so many b lacks uses the race card at every opportunity.
Hilarious
Diane Abbot has made a racist statement, listening to the howls of outrage from the hordes of cretinous bigots on here is ironic beyond belief.
There’s been some really disgusting stormfront style hard core racist bullshit here the last couple of days
This place is a cesspit
Calling a racist on her racist remarks is racist?
Naysayers are engaging in “stormfront style hard core racist bullshit”?
Very very pathetic.
Go and stand in the stupid corner, please.
Abbott sees big differences between black afro-caribbeans and whites as indeed many from the afro-caribbean ‘community’ do. So you have a group of people who draw their identity from difference as exemplified by the colour of their skin but who paradoxically want to deny that colour makes any difference when it suits them. So a white man killing a black man is for someone like Abbott almost inevitably racist but a black man killing a white man is not and so on…..
Curiously, I can’t find anything on the Guardian’s website ( or the CIF section ) about Dianne Abbot. Wonder why ?

Well, I am really. Just can’t help it…
Got a bit of rope in the car, always carry a bit in the boot for emergencies.

Remind me why Hackney is at the forefront of British education again…
Another completely political neutral teacher earning his high salary and splendid pension.
Forward to the sunlit uplands, comrades!
The fU**ing BBC are giving her a fU**ing easy fu*k of a time. White fU**ing MP would completely fuc*ed by now. fU**ing Basta** and C**ts
She is a vile racist women.
It’s only 6th January but that clip of Abbott lying through her teeth (here’s a tip, love- try to control your facial muscles when telling porkies) followed by the look on her face when she realised it was Milliband on the phone will stay with me as the political image of the year.
In fact it is up there with the best political images of the last 30 years (the other contenders being that prat Heseltine walking out of the Cabinet and down an empty Downing Street and the look on Twigg’s face when he realised he had beaten Portillo).
