The Labour Party

2 wrongs don’t make a right mate

Completely agree. Only one of those wrongs is getting mentioned though. As usual.

 

[Postman Pep]

Well to those of us this affects, it's not faux outrage, it's the mask slipping again only this time she;s been caught out. I hope this finally means she doesn't represent Labour again.

And yes, the same for Reed and Duffield also applies.

But those incidents passed by with no comment. But then again you never had a mask to hide your performative and highly selective outrage.

 

[Metal Biker]

Aye, so he mustn't be able to be right about any issue ever again, right?

Yeah, i'm not sure what's trying to be said here.

David Baddiel, a Jewish man, dressed in offensive blackface makeup, so other Jewish people can't be critical of Diane Abbott's comments? Gonna be honest, I was a bit too young for Fantasy Football League.

Which is irrelavent in the matter regarding Abbott's comments, mate.

It's 'whataboutery' like this that is being attempted by some to excuse her comments.

Let me know when it applies to them as well then. They still have the whip, why do you think that is?

Yeah, we Jews tend to go a bit overboard on the ol' 'anti-semitism'. We should learn to lighten up, right.

So you are excusing Abbott's comments then.

Fair enough.

Not at all, I'm asking why her comments are more of a story than the two people I mentioned.

He's bringing that photo up to discredit someone's opinion without having to actually engage with them. Not that I even posted Baddiel's comments on the Whoopi Goldberg incident. But here it is, if anyone's interested.

I couldn't tell you.

This is the story that has my current attention since it's been highlighted in the news today. Researching her comments myself leads me to conclude she should never represent the Labour Party as a candidate ever again.

Comparing other comments doesn't excuse, lessen, soften or change the fact that Abbott is a very silly, misguided person who needs educating about what those sort of comments do and how they affect others. Good enough?
