Instead of showing any real solidarity to Diane Abbott after the Tories' biggest donor said she should be killed, the Labour Party are using the scandal to score political points and grift donations
To be honest, I think describing her original article as "horrifically worded" is somewhat over egging the pudding and that's a bit careless, imo. Given the hoohaa about her being AS, that leads folk to think she wrote an article saying Jews eat Christian babies or something, whereas what she said, was at worst, insensitive, because the fact remains that more brown and black people have been murdered than Jews. Also, it's a matter of recorded fact that in recent years, it is those of us with brown skin that are primarily targeted by racists, so it's completely understandable that anyone brown might feel that we always get it worse. Plus it's observably also a fact that we don't have the same options to integrate and hide that the Roma or the Jews do. The spectacle of a black woman being forced to grovel for saying she thinks black folk have suffered more is frankly not something to be part of, imo. It's just more of the usual weaponised AS bullshit, ie politically self serving bollocks.
I'm not a Labout voter and don't have an opinion on Abbott. I do, however, have an opinion on the weaponisations of important issues by the predator class to keep us at each others throats.
That is absolutely awful. Grifting for donations from a death threat! How incredibly low.

Starmer and his Zionist/Nazi hangers-on know no shame. This is but a precursor of what is to come if
Labour wins a majority government or a minority in coalition with Tories.
