I'm a little bit surprised that did post anything about the thing. In the past, I'm sure he would have written something about it.

I kinda think his zeal for writing has waned a bit -- but I'd say it is corporate that has done that, him and limiting his reach.

Diane Abbott is learning quickly

She is now working on draft 2 of her letter, She has now done a bit of research. She talks to us about how prejudiced Hitler was, and Jewish mascaras over the last two thousand years. What has she learnt?

Diane Abbott was amazed at how prejudiced Adolph Hitler was towards Jews and Travellers. "He was very bad at providi

When the right and centre-right are keener to gloat over ill-considered statements than they are to address rising poverty and free falling standards, can we actually know how far away we are from this?

Yeah, this pretty much summed up my feelings too! It was a dumbass letter, but the response is once again choosing which bigotries they prioritise.

@blepharon And why when this is pointed out to the currently-outraged Blairites screaming at , do they block you?

And there you go. So a poster lying about and hugely misrepresenting comments about cannot justify in anyway his disgusting suggestion that defense of her was diminishing the holocost or the famine.

But when this is pointed out with the facts, he blocks.

Well @bullivant - fine. But it is disingenuous to do what you did, and to continue to lie to yourself is sad.

And BTW: I'm Irish too. So you have no monopoly on being offended here.

Classic tactics in action

@bullivant Are you seriosuly accusing me of saying that 's experiences are worse than the holocost? I can imagine why that would be painful - but also clearly that is not in anyway what I said

& I am not in any way excusing her remarks. As I've said repeatedly on this thread too (please note). I'm pointing at the utter hypocrisy of those attacking her while protecting the racists in the party who called her 'monkey' and worse.

They are still in office

Does that hurt you too?

@bullivant They have a much bigger blind spot with regards to actaul racism against black people - against, explicitly

The leaked WhatsApp messages and the Forde report detailed senior members of the party making deeply racist and mysoginist comments about her specifically.

Yet nothing has been done. No ivnestigation. No suspension.

Much worse racism than downplaying what happens to Jews, Travellers and Irish people relative to black people.

Hence the anger on the left here.

@trabimechanic I've just read that article & sorry, but I need to chip in here. There is nothing that said which is any way close to what was quoted in that article. She said nothing in anyway pejorative about Jews. I think it is dangerous to use that article to discuss the current case.

Yes - she may need some education on racism/Jews. But that's an offense of ignorance /lack of empathy. It is a very long way from explicity denying the holocost, or collective anti-Jewish slurs.

@almodozo I'm seeing a lot of leftists who are outraged by
hypocrisy. Less so outraged with

I don't think you could ecactly call the leadership onlookers: they have chosen to scream and suspend her while doing nothing about the identified racists in their ranks.

So no - not just onmlookers here. hyp[corites with a very clear racism hierarchy., And agenda to purge the left.

Which they've done very successfully - myself included btw.

@trabimechanic ok. Great motto.

Do you say that to the team who have done precisely zero about the explicit racism that his senior team levelled at ? As set out so clearly in Starmer’s own Forde report and the leaked WhatsApp messages? Monkey etc?

Or does this only apply when it’s a lefty being accused of anti-semitism?

@jackLondon @bullivant Great - then let's suspend her.

But can we have the PLP with her then, given what we kniow abvout the direct racism they targeted her with personally - confirmed crystal clearly in the Forde report? No suspensions there. Not one. No investigation even. Not one.

Coz otherwise this is more hypocrisy - and the hierarchy of racism in 's not 's.

@trabimechanic "And when considering the nature of 's attempt to impose a hierarchy of victimhood"

And don't forget the PLP's well exposed hierarchy of racism either. Weirdly, also minimising anti-traveller hate, and Islamophobia.

The people screaming at are much more guilty here than she is after all.
