She wont go , Milliband needs to grow a pair of ***** and sack her.

Imagine the fuss if a whitey had said: Black people like to stab and shoot each other

I'm glad you've raised this because I was just about to.
I can't honestly see she has anything to apologise for, she is just stating the facts

nothing can hurt Miliband he's dead in the water any way,

Maybe not racist but using words such as Them,us, and their hardly does her crusade to promote racial harmony any favours.

Abbott says on her website:

"I set up Black Women Mean Business in 1992 with the aim of supporting and celebrating black businesswomen"

And she thinks the whiteys want to divide and rule

Her crusade is to promote herself - nothing else.
I must say that I found it most amusing when George Galloway leapt to her defence.
I also note that she is the shadow minister for health - I didn't know that Milliband had such a healthy a sense of humour.

You can't sack her. That would be racist and discriminatory and I don't think she'll go.
Please don't take my comments out of context.

Awful women who promotes apartheid and only holds position as a token. Glad she's been caught out, I was disappointed she survived sending her son to private school; typical champagne socialist.

She has issued another statement apologising so she should leave it and move on.

Shadow Health Minister Diane Abbott has defended her comments on Twitter, claiming that they have been blown out of all proportion before insisting that ’them crackers be crazy’.

Abbot promotes apartheid via a narrative of them and us based on skin colour; she did it with her positive discrimination hogwash and in this latest exposé with statements like: "Ethnic communities that show more public solidarity & unity than black people do much better." Great! All the blacks together! That's the way forward, Diane! It's embarrassing that a 21st century politician should even speak in those terms. We're not even talking about an ideal or faith or shared culture here, but skin pigmentation! I say she's trying to corner the 'black vote' (whatever that is) rather than furthering the colour blindness that we ought to be working towards. Reminds me of that Reginald. D. Hunter tossèr who seems incapable progressing further than two minutes in to his set without pointing out to the world that his skin is dark. These two, Darcus Howe and others are either ignorant or, worse, engaging in hucksterish opportunism in plying their trade. The very best I can imagine is that they're doe-eyed for the excitement of the civil-rights movement of yesteryear. Well, the rest of us, including the majority of people who happen to have dark skin, are trying to move on.

I quite like her, even if whatever she says is right or wrong, she just says what she thinks, which is rare in a politician, where the norm is usually do nothing but point score against the opposition (which is all that Milliband can do - albeit badly).

Case in point example is the **** stag party attended by a MP (Burley): As if he had any direct control of the event (seriously - who controls a ****-up? )...yet despite this all the Labour MPs were out baying for his blood. Costing the man his career for the sakes of PR. If it were one of their own they'd be protecting him and playing it down as nothing - and thats exactly what they are doing with Diane now!

Pathetic the lot of them.

Meanwhile our Prince does the same thing in full **** dress and shrugs it off.

Same with Clarkson about killing all the strike attendees...out of the job yet? Nope!


Says it all for me.

She is like John Prescott.They had to have a big fat working class idiot so we couldn't acuse them of all being over-educated,over-privileged posh boys.

Being a black women is political gold.They wont get rid of her unless it is a last resort.

I have found her to be self serving & when I hear her speak,and this is just an impression,she dosn't come across to me as being very intelligent or original.

Apartheid is racial segregation, Duncan, and my post was about racial segregation.
