Frank Hester/Diane Abbott.

Abbot really doesn’t seem to be the smartest cookie in the jar.

I’ve no idea how racist she is, but the overplaying of the victim card is what I think a lot of people see as a fuelling racial tensions rather than resolution of them.

Yesterday, the Internationalist Workers' Club were campaigning and collecting money around Abbott's constituency under the banner "Internationalist Opposition to Racism and Xenophobia". It appears to be Communist...

Yes but she says it in a rather playful way, as an intellectual plays with ideas. It's not meant to insult but to stimulate an argument that defeats her argument. She might say something like well why should we not have a black prime minister - I think it is a great idea myself. It's to draw out the counter augments of your opponent. One pisser where she always has a grin on her face is the opponent is handicapped because some of the strongest reasons he might proffer in response would cause an uproar, and probably get him arrested, such as to point out how Africa is stupid and you can prove it by its history of non-development. That's a sound argument intellectually, but take those away by law and she is grinning. You get the idea. She finds it rather funny how the Brits have given people like her undue power. You can't blame her, can you. She didn't give herself power. When she was younger she was an object of celebration, as per Britain's first black MP or something.

I simply can't imagine Ms Abbott as an intellectual. Perhaps Hester was also just being playful, maybe he had eight pints of Hobgoblin at a private function and thought that he was cracking a joke, if the audience had also had eight pints no doubt it did raise a laugh. Storm in a teacup.

Posters seem to believe that because a Tory donor made rather nasty, and racist comments about a black MP, it will somehow put thing right if they now attempt to portray Dianne Abbott as a not very bright person, who has made controversial comments in the past.

It DOESN'T change anything

Mr Hester is typical of a lot of Tories and their supporters, who privately, and secretly, hold nasty views about people of other ethnic and religious backgrounds, Lee Anderson been a recent good example.

I dont particularly like Dianne Abbotts style or brand of politics, but its no reason to step into the cesspit of politics, and become abusive.

This has got NOTHING to do with Dianne Abbots political beliefs, or Jeremy Corbyn, its purely about going below what is the accepted political stanfards of behaviour and conduct, and as such, Mr Hester, and Lee Anderson cannot be defended.

It's a psychological problem. Certain words trigger them. It's a by-product of brainwashing, but respects to Abbott for refusing the mind control. The worst ones are the journalists in my opinion. They are fully brainwashed.

So if Abbott said 'Hester makes me want to hate all white men' ..... which Abbott wouldn't think twice about saying, it would have been water off a ducks back because it was 'Diane Abbott' who said it, and we have to accept her controversial statements that she's renowned for OPENLY saying.
