Mungler Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Diane Abbott, I'm struggling to find any words for her that would make it past the swear filters.... Regardless of political persuasion, the MP's that fail my test are the ones that can't practice what they preach but follow the "do as I say, not as I do" doctrine. So, all those MPs that fiddled their expenses and all the labour MP's that won't send their kids to a state school automatically fail. I found it refreshingly elitist that the uber left wing Diane Abbott sends her own kids to a very expensive private school. Ah but even in the old Soviet Union, everyone was equal, but some were more equal than others... EDIT: Loving the Telegraph's take on this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/twitter/8994263/Diane-Abbott-no-stranger-to-controversy.html They also manage to dig up and insert the private education for her kids bit in order to set the scene as to 'the essence' of Diane Abbott Edited January 5, 2012 by Mungler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 It might be worth asking yourself how the reporting and classification process works. If, for example, a white lad is attacked by 4 black lads the attending officers may not register it as a racially motivated crime and newspapers may not report the ethnicity of either parties. I don't think the papers are actually allowed to do so, because in the past they have had to allude to the ethnicity of criminals by saying things like "Operation Trident is investigating". I think many people who live or work in areas where they are in a minority will tell you that these attacks happen, but it's not allowed to be reported as such. I remember the furore when the old National Front ( scum ) reported that 85% of muggers were black and 85% of victims were white. It was condemned as a racist campaign, but nobody actually disputed the figures. When does "profiling" become "racism" ? In those NF ( scum ) days would the police have been justified in moving on gangs of black teenagers from known mugging areas ? I wouldn't want to call that one. More recently we have heard that gangs of Indian youths have systematically sexually exploited white teenage girls. Should we warn these girls that the young Indian lad who claims he loves her might be setting her up to be raped by his friends ? Some part of common sense says yes, political correctness says no. I'm sorry if this sounds like a racist rant, it isn't supposed to, but there are some tough choices to be made here. Regards your first paragraph; It isn't up to the officer to define whether it is racist, it can be defined as such by anyone; the officer's supervisors, the operator taking the initial call, the solicitor reading the case for CPS or even a witness. Once someone has stated that thy believe it to be racially motivated the crime report is amended. There are also levels of supervision that look at every crime on behalf of the government and they too can send a crime report back for amending - and they do. On that basis I cannot understand why, if it is as reported on here, the Muslim girls attacking the white girl wasn't classed as racially motivated. All the indicatins are there for it to be so and it could not easily have slipped the net given the publicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 This comment on the Telegraph's comments section about the latest spewing of the nauseating Dianne Abbot brightened up an otherwise dull lunchtime: She called me "Honky cracker" when I went to her constituency clinic. However when i complained she explained, apparently it was out of context, and what she actually meant to say was so intellectually complex as to render it completely unintelligible to someone like myself.

Gordon R Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 It is always a poor move to drag Diane Abbott in to any argument. She is thick, insensitive and a complete idiot, whatever her ethnic origins are. She is a disgrace as a human being - full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashman Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm afraid you won't raise me Very stupid comments those from somebody that should (must) know better - she needs to be held to account for that! Oh well, do as I say, not as I do? One cannot pick and choose when to be (frankly) amazed at the playing of the race card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 i know i`ll get flamed for this but when a white person is killed by a black person it`s murder, but when it`s the other way round it`s a racial murder? i have seen enough in London to know that gangs roam the streets looking for white people on "their turf", what i`m trying to say is if the racism card is going to be played lets have a level playing field first, or am i expecting too much in equality. Dobson and Norris weren't charged with racially aggravated murder. Stephen Lawrence was killed in 1993, when there was no such offence (it was added in 2003). They were charged with murder. They couldn't be charged with an offence that didn't exist at the time, in the same way they had to be sentenced as juveniles, as that's what they were at the time of the killing.

Gordon R Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I did. I have no time for her whatsoever. How she came to be an MP is beyond me. She had to break off a Sky News interview to answer the phone to Milliband - who allegedly put her straight. Hence the half-hearted apology.

Raja Clavata Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Oh well, do as I say, not as I do? One cannot pick and choose when to be (frankly) amazed at the playing of the race card. I think we must be misunderstanding oneanother, either that or you are a complete **** jockey... I was stating it is amazing to me that anyone should be citing the Lawrence family of "pulling the race card" when their son was brutually murdered because of his race. The race card is used way too much in my opinion and Ms Abbott's is one such instance. The two are incomparable in my opinion. So what exactly are we disagreeing on? BTW - I agree with Gordon R (I was tempted to refer to "her" as a stupid fat cow earlier). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
