BBCLondon: Harry Cole on Diane Abbott's racist Twitter comment (05Jan12)

[701shep]

if a white person had said it about blacks they would get sacked and probly arrested

[Phedrus1975]

*** Yawn! ***

I reckon if Dianne Abbott stubbed her toe getting out of the bath, she would blame it on the suppression of ethnic minorities. When the wind changes or it starts to rain, it is the fault of domineering whites. Didn't get that promotion you wanted? 'Blame whitey'. Didn't score as high as you would like in an exam? 'Blame whitey'. And so it goes on. And on...

[MrDeepcover1]

the only white people that take a offence to her comments is the ones that know what divide and rule is !!! she really got you white supremacist with that one lol look at you all coming out idiots look how easy that was for her loool

[blears999]

she is a racist and she knows it  shes a two faced fatty. how can she be shadow health minister look at her lol

[crapatev]

If she's not racist, then she's definitely stupid. All she had to say was "I meant to say 'white people *loved* to ...', i.e. it was meant as past tense. It was just a typo - I didn't mean they currently love to divide and rule. Sorry, my bad." Done and dusted.

[watchMEshyne]

@IslamistsAreTossers1

piss off you demented lunatic

[TheGhostCrusader]

@watchMEshyne Malcolm x was a bastard we all know that, thief, liar, drug dealer, pimp, communist, Muslim antisemite and black power extremist,black people are desperate when it comes to finding cultural hero's expect Dianne abbot has a bust of him on her desk lol.

[watchMEshyne]

@TheGhostCrusader

And white people in general are bastards we all know that. thiefs, liars, drug dealers, paedophiles, capitalists, christian anti-muslims, white supremacist power hungry extremists. white people are desperate to pretend to be offended by her comments in order for people's vexatiously contrarian comments to get noticed. and for black people to appear as bigger racists than moronic cauanderthals like you.

[standupEFC]

@watchMEshyne And you do realise with the exception of Haitians and Somalis in all other black countries white colonial soliders spread their seeds into 10s of million of black women creating mixed race children in Africa vice versa with black men dating white women. White people are not 1 race just like black people aren't there is an estimated 100 000 different ethnic groups in Black Africa alone. Almost 1000 different ethnic groups in Nigeria. We're human at the end of the day.

[watchMEshyne]

@TheGhostCrusader

FUCKING CAUCANDERTHAL LOSER !!!

[MrLeodis202]

What exactly has she said wrong? She believes it so why can't she say it? I'm not offended by this is anyway as I don't think many do. The only thing people are offended at is her lame excuse.

[SuperGoonerguy]

you white people are crazy falling over yourselves to say she should be sacked. listen obviously she didn't mean all white people. most of the white population has been divided in to class etc.

the first thing Cameron done when he came into power was to was to try and create a division between those who have and those who have not.

[watchMEshyne]

@SuperGoonerguy

excellent observation, especially about the class divide.

[sabaton12341]

@SuperGoonerguy thats not the point. the point is that she said OUR race was at fault. if she ment David Cameroon, she should have said David Cameroon. she is obviously rasist and people IN A MAJORITY WHITE COUNTRY dont have to take it!

[SuperGoonerguy]

@sabaton12341 fair point.

[crapatev]

@SuperGoonerguy "you white people are ..."

Imagine a white person saying "you black people are ..."

BTW, all ruling nations and empires - of all creeds and colours - divide and rule, not just people of European ethnicity. Even that is exaggerating: the real policy is "exploit existing divisions ... and rule".

[Clausewitzz]

Instead of suggesting its been put out of context why not ask the question if she is willing to posts this stuff in public then what would she think and say behind closed doors...

People often only show a fraction of their thaughts in public.

[SBC0207]

She said what she thought was true, but I lost respect when she tried to worm out of it. Ethnic minorities at least look out for each other and close ranks, they don't tolerate any nonsense and have definitely put resisters in their place, who seem to cower and have a little moan behind closed doors,no one takes any notice of, and are very intimidated by people of colour, who subtly rule the roost.

Don't shoot the messenger guys, that's just the way it's panned out in the UK.Pity we all can'

[mickwade1]

The Macc Ladds: Great, Great Band..!!!!

[MR1QUEST]

well , well , well , finally for all the world to see , people from other ethnic back grounds can be racist about white people , i have grown up with this racist abuse from so called minority's my whole life and have had no voice in speaking out about it , in fear that i would be accused of being racist , because a white person could not be a victim of racism

[mickwade1]

People saying she should 'Resign'.... No WAY - Sack the Bitch, AND press charges, - now THAT'S "Equality"..!!!!!

[watchMEshyne]

DIANE ABBOTT WAS RIGHT.

[herringfly]

@watchMEshyne Ah, the school of "Statements are always inarguable if you use cap lock."

[watchMEshyne]

@herringfly

yes especially if those statements are historiacly and generally factual as is the case with diane.

GET OVER IT !!!!

[herringfly]

@watchMEshyne Get over what, you knob? Write it in English.

[watchMEshyne]

@herringfly

i would write in english but there would be no point, as you obviously couldnt read it.

[newtonscat]

My Nigerian lady friend tells me that the Itsekiri are one of the least "racist against white people" ethnic groups in Nigeria ... they've been fraternising with Europeans ever since the Portuguese arrived 600 years ago. Apparently there are other ethnic groups in Nigeria (there's 373 officially recognised indigenous ethnic groups there) who "don't like white people". Even when they settle here they still don't like us. She's had problems with them herself.

[Dragon34th]

This is heriditary to labour since Gordon Brown - playing engaging yet slugging people beind their back. Get her fat ugly face out of parliament now! I'm black but I can tell you black people can be even more bitterly racist. Especially Carribeans & American blacks. They hate Africans though they envy white people's wealth, deepskin they still hold grudges against them for their slave past. That bitch caused a similard row in 1996 - she's a slave descent & racism is under her very skin!

[newtonscat]

I happen to see the Mayor of Camden sitting outside a restaurant in Hampstead. Several other people were at the table with him, including a policeman. I took the opportunity to speak to him about the problems I was having with the behaviour of Nigerian staff at the Sheltered housing I live in. He (a muslim) showed interest - but the policeman interupted and wouldn't let me continue. The Mayor seemed bothered by the policeman's attitude ... he wanted to hear what I had to say.

[newtonscat]

Wiki says:: In 1996, she commented that at her local hospital "blonde, blue-eyed Finnish girls" were unsuitable as nurses because they had "never met a black person before".

She referred to David Cameron and Nick Clegg as "two posh white boys" in May 2010

[rouseg54]

Dont you rabid neo fascists realise that the comments you are making about Diane are rascist in themselves. NAZIS. You really hate anyone from a non white background entering politics

[TheJolakia]

if she was white she would have been forced to resign within the hour......blacks are the most racist people i have ever come across

[usernamealredytaken]

Says a lot about Britain that this is deemed an acceptable statement to make these days. Thanks Labour

[herringfly]

@usernamealredytaken The media and establishment in general will bend over backwards to accommodate offensive insights into the true character of "minority" representitives in positions of power. She clearly forgot that her comment would go beyond her cosy Marxist cronies in the Labour party. Excruciatingly stupid and bigoted people should never be given a position of power in this country. Particularly those who despise their host culture.

[usernamealredytaken]

@herringfly Good shout. Her mask slipped. Blair's policies created the client state of voters that would elect a woman who is proud to openly tout these views.

[NipperM846]

Her copmment was disgusting and racist. It's amazing how John Terry's comment was racist... and went on for days and weeks and when Diane Abbott twitters. that ''White people love to divide and rule'' alot of people don't seem to understand what she meant. Why is that? Why are some people afraid to speak out at her racist comment.. Do we owe her something? she should be sacked right now.

[WhatsUpScrote]

@NipperM846

I'm fairly sure that people are seeing Diane Abbott's comments as racist, just as John Terry's comments were. Although at least Diane Abbott's stupid claim of 'it was taken out of context' is worth a laugh.

[NipperM846]

@WhatsUpScrote 'It was taken out of context' is used so often when these sort of people make racist comments or racist comments on tweets as if that makes everything ok. Well we know what she thinks of white people now dont we!! Yes she is stupit and we really can have a good laugh at her. How she got to where she is, is beyond me. L.O.L

[herringfly]

@NipperM846 It's unambiguous - she used the present tense. She is talking about white people right here and now.

[NipperM846]

@herringfly When she twittered this comment she made dam sure her words had only one meaning which would lead any decent white person to come to one conclusion and she knew full well that this was a racist comment towards white people and there is no point other people trying to make excuses for her. I see her as an-arrogant, stupit and racist creature.

[blahblahfeckinblah]

the woman never shuts her mouth, it's not surprising that she's finally put her foot in it.

[ams44111]

At the top of the Labour party - a proud black racist, diane abbott, and a fucking coward, ed miliband.

[jeaniehopkirk2]

if this negroe dianne abbott does not apologise over this remark..she should at least get herself on a diet..i mean she really is carrying way too much weight and they say TV puts ten pounds on you!!

im sure i will get called a racist for calling a "negro"...

[DannyFischarge]

@jeaniehopkirk2 You can always say you were taken out of context

[jeaniehopkirk2]

@DannyFischarge ah yes,that a good idea...its a good get out out clause

[MrBLZee]

beheading monkeys should replace X factor.

[Talentz92]

1) Opium wars

2) Trans-atlantic slave trade

3) East India Company "divide and rule policies

4) MANY MANY MANY MORE EXAMPLES.....

Diane Abbott has a point but it's a shitty way of getting it across and not all white people think that way, maybe some of those she works with who are in high power positions can be used as examples.

[dlfunky1]

Diane abott racist? lol it's suddenly racist to tell the TRUTH about the elites that run the country? her only problem is that 1) she said it public and 2) she actually said WHITE if she had said "THEY" or at least SOME whites noone would even been bothered.The sad thing is that so many asian mps were willing to throw her under the bus to appease white people -pathetic! if you dont agree with her just be quiet -have some dignity! I doubt if an asian had said the same black mps would attack them.

[Rhinocerotidae1]

@dlfunky1 Oh no, a low IQ, bitter individual who blames all his and his people's endemic failures (perpetual and unrelenting failure all over the world to which there is not a single exception) on the white man.

Your comment makes no sense but that is of course unsurprising considering your intelligence is statistically likely to be far below average.

[WhatsUpScrote]

@dlfunky1

'THEY' requires less characters than 'WHITES'. 'ELITES' requires the same number.  The fact that she wrote 'WHITES' gives an insight into her psychology and train of thought, that's pretty much what words are for after all.

[princessmanga13]

yhh i think people are getting over the top about the comment, like there has been even worse comment about whites, but there is not a commotion all over twitter.

[alex121207]

@NottinghamForest22 nah we don,t you hate....we pity you does that us a racist.

[Coley01234]

If a white MP or member of public made these comments they would be sacked and arrested for the racially agravated public order offence section 5.

Dish her up her own bullshit legislation and nick her, charge her and sentence her.

[alex121207]

@gillri all thiefs are brainy, in your world.

[alex121207]

@sweetypie000 i live in slavery so do u i choose to recongnise it you don,t i,m over it your asleep.

p.s calm down

[newtonscat]

Maybe this'll start a FOS (Freedom of Speech) movement? Being able to "speak freely" (even when it's "offensive" to others) can be very cathartic ... when one knows where people are "really coming from" one can "adjust" one's response and think more clearly about the reality going on in people's minds.

[1981WishBone]

Vanassa Feltz thinks shes black thats why she is defending Abbot.

[newtonscat]

Maybe we should thank Diane for giving us white people (and a lot of non-white people as well) the opportunity to exercise our 'Freedom of Speech'? Many black people (especially in the US) who've read a bit of history express the view that the 'White Race' cannot be trusted not to oppress non-white races again (when they get an opportunity) and the only way to deal with the "threat" is to eliminate the white race! (That's 'Freedom of Speech' US style! There's lots of such postings on Youtube).

[nathanmandela]

Am not really surprise by what Abbot said however I am stunned by the fact that the TV news especially the BBC is still playing this story. Normally they snub stories about the way white people are treated. Who know maybe change is a foot?

[070911021302]

@rogermoore2012 "Racist Sack of Sh-T" Dirty "C--t" Calm down dear, Calm Down!!!

[NottinghamForest22]

I fucking hate niggers, does that make me racist?

[mindbending11]

@NottinghamForest22 I hate Englanders, does that make me a racist?

[SuperJackthehat]

@mindbending11 englanders wernt they a 70s rock group

[mindbending11]

@SuperJackthehat ..yep! They're still gigging.

[wallpaper72]

@NottinghamForest22 I dont think it does, just someone who has formed an opinion based on experience.

[dlfunky1]

@NottinghamForest22 your are not making a good case for white people with that comment!

[maxfm83]

Society has no place for sick racists like Abbott. Clearly a case for the police to investigate her comments and prosecute this vile creature.

[070911021302]

@maxfm83 Dianne Abbott "Sick Racist"??! Calm Down Dear, Calm Down"

[newtonscat]

There is a context in which Diane's statement does (sometimes) apply ... namely where there is a predominantly white management with authority over a multicultural workforce.

[mrdanengland]

Dianne (racist) Abbot objects to what she sees as a 'white man’s divide and rule', the very system that has allowed her to go to Grammar school and attend Cambridge University then go on to become an MP, her whole live is a contradiction to her premise that black people need special help in our society to achieve any social status. Diane is founder of the London Schools and the Black Child initiative, which aims to raise educational achievement levels amongst Black children (only).

[NipperM846]

@mrdanengland That says it all then.. wonder what she drums into this education for black children only..

[PHILIBOYLONDON]

I love how hard this cunt tries to defend Abbott, as a leftie I like Abbott but if she's said something racist she should be treated as such. If the BNP made a generalisation of race they'd have everyone hounding them, slandering them, but as soon as a black woman makes such a generalisations- EVERYBODY LETS TRY AND MAKE SENSE OF IT. This hypocrasy is bullshit and sends people to the parties on the right who really dont care about anyone but themselves.

[newtonscat]

Ask West Indians whether they think that a "noticeable percentage" of Africans are "racist" towards white people?

[kingfisher44]

this divide and rule is it on x box or play station

[SuperJackthehat]

@kingfisher44 i thought divide and rule  was a gay sex position

[ugforthewin]

Another reason I find twitter embarrassing and a bit pathetic.

[mindbending11]

It's cliched but the truth always hurts. I'm white but I would agree that some white people are racists but not all. The Lawrence case has manifest what racism does. The sad racists are the racists who don't know they're racists, so there's a long way to go. The BBC are no help at all with all this. NIck Clegg, shoosh!, you did one of the crassest things in political history. A few white folks are brilliant racists tho', I live in Scotland where it's rife, and nothing to do with black people.

[Rhinocerotidae1]

@mindbending11 Funny how the fatties in Scotland are the least hostile towards immigration in the whole of the United Kingdom. Interestingly they are also the people with zero experience of mass immgration, the third world immigrant population in Scotland being miniscule in comparison to that in England. Funny that.

[mindbending11]

@Rhinocerotidae1 Yer right, it's hilarious, and when it comes to mass imigration thir's mair english fatties up here than losts of places, saw one goin on their arse in the ice a week ago, fecking hilarious also.

[watuonmate]

@mindbending11 wow your level of english is worse than my 2 year old

[mindbending11]

@watuonmate I'm delighted you think so.

[SubZero589]

When ever a white person says something like this, they are hounded into resigning and what not, soon as a black person says it, an apology is acceptable, this country fucking pisses me off.

[seangrie8]

Not helpful at all.....

[newtonscat]

Both the 'Complaints Officers' for Adult Social Care in Camden are "Anglophobes" ... which makes it "dangerous" to complain about the behaviour of non-white social care staff if you happen to be English and have a "bit of education" (they're ok with the Irish, Scottish, Europeans, etc. so they're not "anti-white" racists.) The "stuff that happened during the days of the Empire" is coming from people of "advanced age" ... younger relatives are reacting to their "stories".

[Rhinocerotidae1]

This pathetic woman has made her career upon the basis of feigning victimhood and blaming other people for the massive self inflicted problems blighting her community and race. She is a repulsive racist and hypocrite.

[newtonscat]

The same "white" English people who oppressed others around the world during the days of the Empire also oppressed my ancestors here in England. My great great grandfather died in prison in 1854 after being involved in "anti-ruling class" activities in Suffolk. As far as 'Black & White' is concerned I am not "white" (except when I'm in shock!) and 'BLACK' people are not "black" ... they are shades of "brown". (What are these educated Nigerians up to over here? Trying to "take over"? Eh?)

[Rhinocerotidae1]

@newtonscat 'Educated Nigerians?' That's almost an oxymoron.

[newtonscat]

@Rhinocerotidae1 The average Nigerian here in London runs rings around the local whites as far as "intelligence" is concerned ... smart people (but a real bloody pain in the neck if one gets caught in their sights).

[sweetypie000]

Disgusting, even if she was talking about colonialism she should not be soing it ! the way forward is not back !

SACK HER ! she deserves to GO. If she was white and said this about blacks there would be riots and screams for her head

SHE SHOULD NOT BE IN THE JOB

[garythebarman]

The fact is that the white man has and always will be the superior race.No matter what you do for the black's they will always make a mess of it.

[sweetypie000]

@garythebarman hard to say, but look at south africa after the white farmers were kicked out - starvation and the farms desolated. My good friend from Zimbabwe always said there would be trouble when the white left because the black can work on the land but is unable to know how to actually work it and make it a continual success.

I suppose you could look at the lovely areas of London, for example, that are now ghettos too. My parents lived in Brixton in the 60's it was trendy. Not now !

:(

[ugbonk]

listen and listen good.i am white,i resent white people who flip flop flop flop ,um and aaaa in important matters that efect all of US.

[gshooting]

It's hilarious the distance Vanessa will go to play this down on the Culturally Marxist BBC.

[alex121207]

whites have been degrading blacks since they stole everthing they have and re-write the history books to suite their needs. they are still in their jobs and their positions... but as this year will prove is coming to a sticky end.

[gillri]

@alex121207 lol you need brains to do that

[sweetypie000]

@alex121207 400 years ago, ffs let it go you prick. Are YOU affected by slavery in the past ? am I as a white man responsible for the past ? get a life you sound like this racist Diane Abbott

[gshooting]

Diane's just saying what she would say at black hairdresser's.

[alex121207]

The woman has nothing to apologise for........ open your eyes the elite are dividing and ruling to all race of ppl... she has the guts to say so.

[sweetypie000]

@alex121207 She is paid by the public purse and I'm one of those contributors. She has much to apologise for and lot more in the past. She deserves to be sacked immediately and if she was white saying that about blacks she would be gone already.

Remember something : she is in the position of being an 'elite' and what she said is unacceptable. How DARE she even breathe the words colonialism. Being minister for stoke newington and hackney she needs primarily to have a fucking brain.

SACK HER.

[BlackSapphire8804]

This was a silly thing for Diane Abbot to do, for obvious reasons.

Doesn't take away from the fact that it's true though and very few educated white people are literate enough to admit that.

When Starkey made his overtly racist comments on live television, you all supported him! As he comes from the most savage race in history...what he said was BS!

So we're going to support her, in her truth!

[gshooting]

@BlackSapphire8804 Savage race? You're disgusting on top of being a total moron.

[sweetypie000]

@BlackSapphire8804 I'm not going to support her. Starkey is a television personality, this Abbott is the Labour Party politician cum Shadow Public Health Minister. If you can't see the difference then you need your head looked at.

"As he comes from the most savage race in history" you are also another racist and the country can do without people like you but of course you are more than happy to live here.

[sweetypie000]

If this was a white high positioned politician that said this about blacks there would be riots on the street right now and that's a fact.

Sack this racist, out spoken, horrible re-offender of racism.

A woman of her role would never say something that would be taken out of context. What she said she meant. How on earth could what she hav said be taken any other way ? especially going by her previous racist remarks. she knew what she was saying - she's a trouble maker.

SACK HER NOW.

[sweetypie000]

Her apology is NOT good enough. She needs to be SACKED. If this was a white saying this about blacks they WOULD BE SACKED.

She is the Shadow Health Minister ffs. Her station, imo, demands she be sacked immediately.

This is disgusting.

What with the Stephen Lawrence case with the Police being called 'racists' you now have the Shadow Health Minister making further comments about the white people of the UK ? This is unacceptable.

Sack her, sack her NOW. She must not get away with it.

[ModerateMartian]

It's not the first time she's made racist remarks, anyway she should have been pushed out after the “more good than bad” remark.

[sweetypie000]

@ModerateMartian Agreed. Unfortunately because she is black, it is too difficult to get her out amicably when the race card is usually played

[destinyson23]

Diane needs to come out of the closet and finally admits she is a racist and doesn't like white people. At least that would have been honest of her.

[AnnoyedDragon]

Apparently it's only racist when referring to none whites.

[kcirdrab]

There's no reason for her to "apologize" for expressing a view that advocates no violence - Freedom of Speech in England!

[TheHemsworthboy]

@kcirdrab What ? "White people love playing 'divide and rule' we should not play their game." how in any way is that advocating no violence, if this was a white man who said that it would be considered racism, whats the difference when a black person says it.

[kcirdrab]

@Hemsworthboy Yr missing the big picture here, she advocated no breach of Law just voiced a view on a racial cultural matter; there's a creeping Statist agenda at work in England trying to turn it into a Thought Policed state on this issue where any1 who ?s the "multi-racial melting pot" society they're trying to create is silenced by force

If u disagree with her, argue with her, but don't join the Thought Police dupes shouting for oppression of England's freedom of speech

[TheHemsworthboy]

@kcirdrab Iam not shouting for any kind of oppression, if i disagree with her remarks, i make myself heard, isnt it a bit of hypocrisy when you criticize me for voicing my opposition at the same time as you're saying you are defending free speech ?

[kcirdrab]

@Hemworhboy Yr 1st post responding to mine said her words "must be considered as racism", the insinuation being that if an English person had said this they would be persecuted into silence for it so it should also be done to Africans too

No 1 in England should be persecuted by law for anything they say that doesn't advocate a breach of it, in saying she should be supressed for "racism" yr playing into the Thought Police's hands ... if they can do it to her they can do it to u!

[gshooting]

@kcirdrab Yes, we have freedom of speech but taxpayers don't pay public servants their wages to spout off nonsense on Twitter. She should apologize and then get out. Hopefully her seat can be won by a member of UKIP.

[kcirdrab]

@gshooting Why should she apologize if what u heard was her honest view?

The fact that yr calling for her resignation based on what she said means that u don't believe in Freedom of Speech in this area, & that if some1 says something u disagree with, instead of arguing with them u want them punished by the Thought Police that r increasingly taking control of HMG; by allowing them to do that against some1 u don't agree with u empower them to do it against some1 u do agree with too

[gshooting]

@kcirdrab Hitler was honest about his hatred for Jews. Are you going to defend him for expressing his honest opinion.

You're wrong. I do believe in freedom of speech, but Diane Abbot is a politician, her wages are funded by the taxpayer, she has a responsibility to be mature and not be offensive. She doesn't have the right to act like an idiotic teenager who is blinded by Afrocentricism. Why should a white person want to continue paying their taxes so the likes of her have a job?

[kcirdrab]

@gshooting Do u consider what Abbott has said as being equal to Hitler on the Hebrews? Did she call Europeans sub-Human & a virus to humanity requiring elimination? Is that a fair comparison?

What did she say that u found so "offensive" that instead of arguing with her u want her silenced by fear from the Racial Thought Police who're now running Whitehall?

What if a UKIP rep was to say "Black people have an attitude problem to white people imo", would u want him punished too?

[gshooting]

@kcirdrab Who cares about fair comparisons? Abbott is held to a higher standard, as are all politicians. She acted like a teenage moron and if some white person had said what she said about black people, that person would be fired.

In response to your last question, I'd expect the UKIP rep to give a real explanation for what they said and not cop out and say "it was taken out of context".

[kcirdrab]

@gshooting U concede the point on the Hilter comparison as unfair - ok

I agree with u that if an English politician had said this about Africans instead they would probably be sacked, but thats also oppression of Freedom of Speech & why it needs to be resisted whomever they try to do it to, if u disagree with her, argue with her, but don't yell "racism" & call for the Thought Police

On UKIP, I suspect u'd defend Freedom of Speech there, but the Thought Police wouldn't listen to u

[tomd2103]

@kcirdrab If a UKIP rep said that, he/she WOULD definitely be punished and that is the problem. All people are asking for is a level playing field in such matters.

[kcirdrab]

@tomd2103 Yr asking 4 a level playing in a Thought Police controlled state & playing  by their bizarre rules, my point here is that whether Abbott or a UKIP rep said this, there's no need for either to be "punished", debating racial cultural views in politics comes with Freedom of Speech & shouldm't be subject to censure & punishment by sinister Leftism from Whitehall

Check what happened to the girl on the Wimbledon tram to see what's going down in England now with Freedom of Speech

[tomd2103]

@kcirdrab Totally agree with what you say about there being no need for either to be punished, but the point I was trying to make is that one group of people seem to be punished very harshly for the type of comments that other groups make without any repercussions.

[kcirdrab]

@tomd2103 See yr point, but I suspect the sinister Leftist crowd doing it in Whitehall r quite willing to sacrifice a few African/Asian faces now and then so as to oppress their main target, i.e. the English & legally browbeat them into accepting their cultural agenda thru fear of having the Law set upon them

The best way to counter this is to completely reject the restrictions they're trying to impose & defy them with the Freedom of Speech principle

Have u heard of Michael Savage?
