Jeez. reading the entirety of the posts is even more ridiculous
Ooooh.
Well yeah, as one of the few non lefties on here i was hardly going to like her was i.The people surprised by 11101’s position:
How dare you. Boris got us all talking about politics again. I haven't figured out how to feed my kids with it but I'll keep trying.
Very uncharitable of you. He expolits people of all colours and creeds without discrimination, don't you know.Is this the political/rich people version of 'he has black friends so he can't be racist!'

Why didn't you get born into a landowning wealthy family? It is borderline irresponsible not to be.

I know. I'm sorry, Master
Are you real? I always thought you were a Twitter bot.
She had the whip removed last year. So you're completely wrong there again, aren't you?
UK to ban foreign state ownership of newspapers
Foreign governments will be banned from owning UK newspapers and news magazines, the government has said.
The move follows concern about the potential takeover of the Daily Telegraph and Spectator by a group backed by the United Arab Emirates.
Thank god for that, we don't want any damnedArabs, I mean foreigners, owning any newspapers here.

Full on culture war nonsense. This election is going to be filthy. Its going to drag us even more into the gutter.
I’d like to say I’m not sure that’s possible, but it’s a “hold my beer” moment for the Tories.
Absolutely. It's been their clear attack line for some time now. It's their strategy.
Sunak at PMQs always has prepared lines that are full on culture war bullshit.
Shes disliked by lots of right wingers because she's a successful black woman. Everything else is just bs.
Shes not thick. Shes old. She’s also bloody nice and was a firebrand in her youth. She’s an incredible campaigner, has resisted Hackney turning into another white-flight gentrified paradise and creates one of the most positive constituencies in the Uk.
Now… she’s said a lot of dumb shit in the past half decade or so. But she afforded herself the chance to. I’m not the biggest fan of her now, she’s aged out, without doubt… but she’s among our finest local MP’s and campaigners across the last 30 years. She deserves respect.
There’s a line, and this didn’t so much cross it, as shit on it.
Mentioning her alongside those two. Jesus Christ. Back it up a little mate. You’re not daft. But that comparison is as dumb as anything on this site. She deserves better.
Precisely the type of argument that led to her party's worst election performance in 80 years.
Yeah you're right.
The British public, specifically right wingers hate being confronted with home truths.
The right wing of politics, and the Murdoch press in particular, prefer it that if we have to have these annoying ethnic types involved at all that they at least rich Uncle Tom types like Sunak.
The difference between the way bumbling bullshit artists like Bojo and Abbott are treated is huge.
Correct. Always hated the way she was treated, fundamentally racist at its core.
I don't suppose this new definition extends to racist Tory party donors who call for MP's to be shot?
New extremism definition unveiled by government
'It will apply to, but not criminalise, groups that promote an ideology based on "violence, hatred or intolerance".'

Uhm ahh i make busses uhm ah out of cardboard as a, uhm ah, a hobby.
Ye fecking sure that's the reason she's treated like that...

First my government (all parties) came for the black people. And I said nothing.
Then my government (all parties) came for the Palestinians, bombed and starved them. And I said nothing.
Now they're coming for me.

You have to wonder, why bother with a democratic process if the general public just don't give a shit about this kind of thing.

No, whilst I agreed the comments made against Diane Abbot were horrible, but remember Hoyle got lambasted when he allowed the Labour motion on Gaza the other week, with everyone claiming he was 'out of order'.
Ms Abbot is under suspension in her own party so Hoyle acted properly in not calling a MP who was not listed...it really is that simple.
I understand. You'll vehemently stand behind the speaker breaking convention when it suits your cause, but that is the only circumstance.
Incidentally, it wouldn't really have been breaking convention to allow "Ms Abbot" to speak.
It feels less like you've been drinking the Kool-Aid than you have been injecting it directly into your eyeballs.
If our parliamentary process sees a 70+ year old member of the house that's been subjected to racist and mysoginist abuse, not being given time to address it, while at least ten male members have… it’s his job to change that. He’s wet. Akin to the final quarter of a pint on a hot summers day.
These conventions are guardrails, not laws. He should have found a way for her to speak. He didn’t. He’s not fit for purpose and hasn’t been for most of his tenure. Pop into Hansard and see how many times he’s told members that they need to pipe down or ‘be sent for a cup of tea’. Then check how many members he’s ejected. The fella is a fossil who tries to keep the peace through suggestion, not action.
Tories would probably win the election if they brought Boris back and he said "wiff waff balderdash nan's gash"
No, he already got in hot water over the Gaza thing, so he wisely chose discretion as the better part of valor. Or two wrongs don't make a right.... or do they?
*Whatever kool-aid is I would suggest it seems you are the one consuming, perhaps so that you can convince yourself that only your version of the truth is allowed... have a nice day,.....but stay off the K-A stuff
the fing about boris is that he’s just like one of us.
Which one is it?
