Is this guy really the best the Democrats have to offer? Serious question, because if he is, that's a pretty sad reflection on the state of American politics.

Her main apparent dislike is for Jews and white people. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/8994068/Diane-Abbott-White-people-love-playing-divide-and-rule.html Although she has spoken of the "crisis of masculinity" in the past. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/05/15/diane-abbot-masculinity-crisis_n_3277154.html She doesn't seem to have an issue with Corbyn though, although in fairness he did preside over a period in the Labour party when anti-semitism was particularly prominent so they seem to have a lot in common.

And yet they still have bigots like Abbott making anti-semitic remarks. Why hasn't she been expelled? It's not like it's her first racist comment. They've done nothing more than got a fancy new front door, swept the mess under the carpet and carried on as normal.

Indeed, she even refuses to say she regrets supporting the IRA. If she didn't tick all the right boxes in terms of the holy grail "diversity" she'd have been out years ago. Imagine a white middle aged Tory saying the stuff she's said and still being an MP. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/diane-abbott-ira-regret-jeremy-corbyn-defeat-british-state-a7759926.html

Same article I quoted before which you conveniently ignored, hence my question "did you read the report". Clearly not, or you'd know where the quotes were from. Here it is (again...). From 2020. Not exactly ancient history. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/oct/29/key-findings-of-the-ehrc-inquiry-into-labour-antisemitism

Well, you have the worst defensive record in the top 4. You can't blame a poor record over 30 games on playing your second string in one game. Looking at goals scored (also the worst in the top 4) they might be interested in some new forwards or attacking midfielders as well. That goal difference is shocking. Maybe a bit fortunate to be in the top 4? I've felt for a while their results in the league have been better than their performances. If you want to compete with City, you'll have to do more than buy some backup defenders.

Read the report. There is clearly a serious problem. It would appear that nobody should be surprised by Abbott's latest comments. Given Labour's history, I predict a slap on the wrist and she'll be back soon.

These attacks by tourists appear to be becoming more commonplace. I wonder if it's related to the new demographics that the TAT appear to be trying to "lure" to Thailand? Or maybe it's just being reported more often...

Oh, you meant slur. You lost me there... You will note my use of the word probably. With that in mind, you could start with the EHRC findings. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/oct/29/key-findings-of-the-ehrc-inquiry-into-labour-antisemitism

Coulda woulda shoulda. Back in reality, it was carrying Australian POW's.

Like I said, there has been a long history of anti-semitism in the Labour party. I am sure you are aware of it. I'm not sure what my slut has to do with anything though... I tend not to use such misogynistic language myself.

Ah well. Just blow it up then...

She could be expelled from the party. The problem is, most Labour party members probably agree with her. The party has a long history of anti-semitism.

Well that's marvellous. It's a shame they didn't know who was on board.

Yes, during WW2. Refer topic at top of thread.

Very sad. Once wonders if the US armed forces using the tactics of Shoot, Ready, Aim. A terrible period in history, which highlights just how inane the trend of using "Nazi" as a casual insult is.

From the video, it seems like the Thai man didn't just throw water at the Turk but instead got right up into his face, pushed the empty bucket into his head and then tried to take his water gun from him. Now I'm not saying that justified the headbutt (far from it), just trying to clarify what actually happened. Of course, the Turk may have done something equally aggressive before the video started, but whatever happened this wasn't a simple case of a smiling, innocent splash of water being met with violence as was suggested. To be honest, given the way some people behave during Songkran (use of dirty water, iced water, water containing clothes dye etc.) I am surprised this type of thing doesn't happen more often.

Yes it is incredibly stupid. Similar to the black Anne Boleyn in the Channel 5 series. Just pointless virtue signalling to keep the Wokerati from clutching their pearls too tightly. It's a bit like casting Rowan Atkinson as Muhammad Ali. Or how about Jim Carey as Martin Luther King? Gwyneth Paltrow as Oprah Winfrey? Oh sorry, this inane casting policy only flows in one direction. My bad...

Strange then, that she apologized for them.???? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-65365978

I suspect it will be a very long, very uncomfortable day for him. However, given that his association with the Royal Family is all he has to trade on, he has little choice but to attend. I wonder if he will do the US talk show circuit on his return to the US, to play the victim once again and complain about how everyone was so horrible to him. Or maybe he'll have enough dirt to start slinging for a volume 2 of Waaagh?

She has admitted the comments and therefore should be sacked immediately, if the Labour party had any decency. There is no need for any investigation, she said it and has admitted so. It's the latest in a long series of racist comments from Abbott. Instead they've removed the whip until this all blows over, at which point she'll scurry back in via the trademen's entrance and continue with her racist rants, probably in private for a while (until she slips up again). She perfectly encapsulates the hypocrisy of the left. As I have said before, they are what they accuse you of being. In this case, racist.

How has she dealt with it? By withdrawing her remarks after being caught out? She clearly still holds these racist and anti-semitic views she just apologizes for them occasionally when caught out. It's hardly the first time she's exposed her racism. https://news.sky.com/story/diane-abbotts-history-of-gaffes-10482258 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/fb-6915369/What-Diane-Abbotts-gaffes-controversies.html Not to mention breaking the law (drinking alcohol on the train), or claiming she could hire 10,000 police officers for a total of 300,000 pounds, earning her the nickname Dianne Abacus. What an example to set as an MP... Judging by her son's disgraceful behaviour, the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree either. He's the English version of Hunter Biden. https://www.hackneygazette.co.uk/news/22932379.diane-abbotts-son-charged-alleged-assaults-royal-free-homerton-hospitals/ She's a deeply unpleasant individual, I wouldn't hire her to do my laundry let alone run the country.

It would appear Joe's parenting skills are on a par with his Presidential skills. Let's see if the family can wriggle out of this one as well.

No surprises. Yet more anti-semitism exposed in the Labour party. The latest incident in a slew of both racist and anti-semitic comments from Labour MP's. I still remember Rupa Huq saying Kswasi Kwarteng was "superficially black" because he didn't fit into her bigoted views of what a black man "should be". Abbott should be removed from the Labour party. She is an embarrassment. How many more ridiculous comments can she get away with? I do kind of hope she stays though, individuals like her make the Labour party unelectable so in a strange way they are doing their bit for Britain.

Why would King Charles bother to reply to this little chancer? To provide Markle with more material for a book or Netflix series? So she can take the reply onto a late night talkshow? No, the best way to deal with a narcissist is to ignore them and hope they go away - forever.
