Abbott's latest effort was always going to come, just a case of when.

Victims of racism, which she undoubtedly is, can also be race baiters.

Comparing the Jews with gingers is literally demented which she may well be.

The apology is hollow and reactive.

Something that struck a chord with me today was hearing someone say that anti semitism is often signalled by the use of the term " jews " rather than Isaraeli's when the situation with the Palestinians is being discussed.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

She has fallen foul of the left's hierarchy of victims.

No doubt she believes that black people should be at the top of that pyramid and others below that e.g. call me a rude word is not as bad as calling her a rude word. *

I don't think what she said was bad enough to get her suspended it was more pro black than anti Jew.

However I don't feel sorry for her as she has said a lot worse in the past and continually played racial politics so she has been hoisted by her own petard.

*I noticed that some of the left have defended her and said she has apologised for misspeaking / writing so forgive and forget. Funny that the left aren't normally that obliging when someone misspeaks about race its all ban / sack them etc.etc.

One more point

McTiernan the war monger has basically said she should get a pass because she was the first black female MP.

He sees no issue with disassociating herself from something she wrote a day or two before.

Now the Starmer acolytes are all outraged but none will say she should go

Really?

A party desperately trying to distance themselves from its far left Jew hating reputation?

The fact that she even thinks this is true is alarming on its own, and then she tries to feebly pretend it was all a mistake.

Jesus! She can't even stand by her own idiotic beliefs.

Starmer saying her comments were anti-Semitic. It rather pushes her closer to the cliff-edge.
For someone who's made a career from playing the race-card, it would be a rather fitting end.

stirling. You stained an image of Jeremy Corbyn's hairy gonads dropping out of Abbott's mouth into my mind. That will takes me weeks to get over.
