MP Diane Abbott 'sorry' over Twitter race comments

Shadow Health Minister Diane Abbott has apologised for any offence caused by comments she made on Twitter, after claims they were racist.

She said she had not meant to generalise when she wrote: ''White people love playing 'divide & rule'".


Well who'd have guessed?

I though she said 'divide and conquer' but that was maybe a freudian slip? :smoke:

Not the first time she's let that massive racist chip on her shoulder take over.

Glad that she now appears to be on a final warning from her boss.

Hey she could be a member of the Mau Mau and she'd still be more tolerant than Harriet Harman.

It's wonderful how racist it is to cut her some slack. Can you imagine if the racial situation were reversed. The person responsible would be in orbit they'd would have been kicked so hard! With Diane doing the kicking!
