Diane Abbott

Well done Diane, you put your foot in it this time. RARARARA

The thing is, she did not mean it in a racist context.. Remember you only get 140characters on twitter to make points. Her original point, once explained, makes sense and there would be nothing wrong about it. She's simply describing what happened in 19th century colonialism.

Of course she has to realise how it's been perceived and she's perhaps guilty of not following up with an explanation with another tweet. Diane Abbott is quite an inspirational lady within her own right, for this reason I don't believe she should be forced to step down. She was the first black woman to be voted into parliament, so she's no stranger to racism and oppression. She's apologised and explained what she meant, she's understood why it's been scrutinized and she's makes no excuses for that.

I don't know about that. I don't like her personally but she is clearly well educated and driven.

not the first time she has made silly comments

in June 2010 she has also said that west indian mums loved their children more than white mums and then refused to comment on or withdraw her remarks on the daily politics show.

in september 2010 she was reported to the cops for inciting religious hatred by saying that white men should loose their jobs in the cuts before black workers loose theirs.

and its just emerged she has outraged taxi drivers by saying they routinely refuse to pick up those who are black.

Poor old Diane, It’s a hardly the discovery of the century – anglo-saxons have been rampaging throughout the earth, burning and looting, dividing and conquering, for as long as anyone can remember. Unfortunately for Diane her own party are leading advocates of the modern, user friendly brand of imperial violence and the white man’s burden: humanitarian intervention. So what does that make you, Diane….?

And seeing as you've drawn attention to your self - How come you and Michael Portillo so cosy on that sofa? Well you know Harrow types stick together…….Diane was educated at Harrow County Girls School and Michael at Harrow County Boys School. Diane went on to Cambridge university……….Michael went on to Cambridge university……….some people think they don’t have much in common....left wing/right wing - its just a fucking game to them and we get shafted

And going to a posh girl’s school, may explain why she has that habit that a lot of patronising, small minded and pig headed women have of closing their eyes while they are reprimanding someone. She has risen to power through faux-(black-leftist) radicalism, and is happy to go along as token representation for the black community and suck up the same privelages as the rest of them, the political bourgeoisie, for whom dividing and conquering is part and parcel of the Punch and Judy Show in Whitehall.

Just another dogshit politician to scrape off our shoes.
