Why haven’t the anti-racist BBC sacked her from her regular gigs?
With the Lawrence case omnipresent, why is the BBC so MUTE on Diane?

Tweet taken out of context. Refers to nature of 19th century European colonialism. Bit much to get into 140 characters

Daily Mail angry over Diane Abbott remarks – trust they will now demand an apology from anyone who generalises about race
Nigger,Sambo,Jam spoon ,Jungle bunny,Black man,Buffie,Golliewog,jiggabo,Coon,Nig,Nog,Sooty, spade,Coon,
Now by saying all of the above am, I now a racist, or can I simply say because I am non white I have been taken out of context.
Disgusting and hours after the Media storm over how racist whites can be, the very same media bends over backwards in which to defend a fucking black racist.
A reposted video as well methinks to take a trip down memory lane via ”New Labour uber alles” incorporating North Korean indoctrination methods, featuring the vile fat racist Abbott, as the hero of Hackney school kids

The real issue after the Lawrence trial is that it must now be absolutely clear that all murders and assaults where there is a racial element should receive equal treatment and be subject to the same public condemnation. Nothing else is acceptable. Diane Abbott is a distraction.
Multiculturalism does not mean special treatment under the law.
“Multiculturalism does not mean special treatment under the law.”
The sad fact is that is exactly what it means. Justice is no longer blind.
I`ve decided to take a leaf out of the Labour Party manual on how to rewrite history.
I recall the good old days of New Labour when Blair would ruthlessly move against any idiots talking rubbish or behaving in an offensive way.
Hence his ruthless purging of Mandelson(twice) Blunkett(twice) and Prescott(well nearly!)…for he was a greatleader who enforced ruthless discipline within the fighting arm of the political wing of the British people( mixed metaphors indeed!)
These days though Ed Miliband only knows that Diane is a liability as she`s about to talk to Sky…and he rings to wiggle his eyebrows in a marked manner.
What a useless vacuous and clueless leader…when the nation wants leadership-and Abbott made an example of-why, Ed is as crap as we rather feared!
Alongside the BBC the biggest traitors of the British nation are the ‘trendy’ urban left wing faux-intellectual guardian fair trade coffee sippers:

Makes me want to vomit how they can gloss over this!

Jeff
Where’s straight talking David Starkey on the BBC these days, eh? Wonder what racist-Abbott’s views were on him..?!
Starkey v Abbott = NO contest! Abbott’s more than got form, everyone knows she’s really a racist on-the-quiet (for real equality my arse! lol), her unions-appointed bogeyed boss should now grow some and have the guts to sack her, AND SHE SHOULD NEVER BE INVITED ON OR IN ANY WAY BE FUNDED BY US AGAIN TO APPEAR ON THE LIKES OF QUESTIONABLE TIME AND THIS WEEK!!!
I couldn’t give a stuff what colour the humongous-chip shouldered racist cow is, but we all know that today’s definitely a day she’s damned glad she’s isn’t white – because if she was, then like Starkey on the anything but impartial BBC, she would be FINISHED!!!
Equality?..racism cuts both ways?..one rule for all and all that?.. Yeah, and pigs might fly, eh Miss Abbott? You’ve shown your real true colours once too often AND YOU SHOULD BE GONE!! Sly cow!

“Is Ed Miliband racist?”
http://archbishop-cranmer.blogspot.com/2012/01/is-ed-miliband-racist.html
I was wondering if Abbott is guilty of any race crime?, I recall that in the weeks leading up to Christmas some idiotic woman was found to have been abusive to a non white person, she got sent to prison before being released in time for Christmas day.
I am also wondering if she is guilty of a breach of the HoC standards, surely her initial post in which she made the racist remark, which was then followed by two explanations which were found to be false should be cause for the party whip to be removed until some form of parliamentary inquiry is completed into her behaviour?
I can also provide the relevant body who should start the investigation Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA),
Although this bodies main responsibilty is to investigate allegations of MP fraud, they are ideally suited to take up any inquiry into possible criminal acts for other offences.
Sunny Hyundai on BBC news telling me that the whole thing is a storm in a teacup – just before the ‘obeying orders’ newsreader made it clear that they were not going to talk about the substance of the tweet.
The bias of the BBC sickens me.
I know mate, it didn’t even make it on to ‘News’-night and on BBC 1 their ‘impartial’ ‘other point of view’ commentators included good ol’ Chuka Chumana and the editor of the Voice magazine (who could hardly speak a word of English!) Hardly a balanced view!
‘Sunny Hyundai on BBC news’
He and Mehdi Hassan must have been rushed off their feet!
Bless.
But their commitment does seem to have borne fruit.
‘clear that they were not going to talk about the substance of the tweet’
A new era of BBC ‘news’ beckons, where if interviewees, or even subjects of controversay wish it, ‘the substance’ of what they are accused can be left out in favour of the PR clean-up, followed by a quick moving on.
Unique.
I’m beginning to think that Abbott, Mugabe and all the other racist bigots have a point. Multiracialism doesn’t work – you end up with one race becoming second-class citizens.
So how about changing Britain back into a uniracial country? Abbott, Mugabe and their friends would feel happier in places where there are no whites to annoy them.
The sameprinciple would appear to be true of multiculturalism – Christianity can’t really coexist very happily with islam, as has been known from Byzantine times onward.
Yes, I have the impression that the soft political treatment of black racism by BBC-NUJ-Guardian, etc compared with their treatment of white racism, is just part of the political elite’s broader encouragement of unlimited mass immigration into the UK from Asia and Africa, with white opponents of this political project termed ‘racist’.
surely normal people are starting to wake up to the crap factory that the bbc/race hustler industry really is?
I mean-how can anyone with an iq above their shoe size not see what is going on?
‘People are starting to wake up to the crap factory that the bbc/race hustler industry really is? ‘
There’s a danger that the actions of such as the BBC in such as this, with its guest selection (or bumping), vox pops and editting to suit narrative, plus ‘movings on’ pronto, will awake more than a sleeping dragon of frustration with the clear double standards deployed.
If anything one group gets up to is given a free pass, and is seen to be, and is revelled in and flaunted (Hassan, Hundal, Jasper… no other voices perhaps more moderate, to allow voice? Or if a Howe, then given near zero debate to offer concession), whilst even the free speech of others are kept under a tight lid, the reaction has poor historical precedent (The Telegraph purged Toby Young’s thread and then closed it!), and the wrong folk will be on the wrong end of such meddling by our so-called politico-media ‘elite’, who will then simply retreat further up their ivory towers bleating that ‘something must be done’ by the very people they undermine daily.
Here’s Diane’s friend, Marc Wadsworth on sky news standing up for Abbott, the best part is at the end where he say’s black people can’t be racist.
What a an absolute prat; this country does not need deadhead idiots like that ball bag!
“Black people can’t be racist” The racism of his politics could not be clearer! I was expecting him to blame the Jews for the banking crisis next. What a sad excuse for a human being.
She did well tolet that bastard free to keep reinforcing that he is an unashamed racist and reveals that Abbott is too. He doesn’t believe that a Conservative MP “of colour” can be allowed to comment about Abbott’s racism, but he was quite happy to have a go at the stupid Conservative who was at that dodgy stag-do.
It’s an unbelievable new addendum to the definition of the word racism that it can only be racism if it comes with power. What power did that stupid woman on the train have? Doesn’t that mean that she’s not racist as she has less power than Flabbybot! So her imprisonment was a flagrant injustice. This bloke should be investigated by the police for his blatant racism. He would if he had been white and said those things in reverse
The most interesting thing about this episode is the way in which race hustlers such as Marc Wadsworth and Darius Howe are rushing in to defend her racism. Far from being anti-racist they are actively promoting racism.
‘Marc Wadsworth on sky news’
It’s hard not to see ratings gold at the seat of such actions by broadcasters as SKY, but I do wonder how these oafs get on our screens.
What’s the mindset in news rooms around London?
‘Ooo, race controversy… let’s phone our long list of race hustlers to see what they can stir up more’.
Is it possible they are playing a game, if dangerous to public safety, to let these guys damn themselves further with their own dogma?
Or is it, and in the BBC’s case hard not to feel so, sinply a matter of empathy and the circles mixed in.
Hence more these guys’ ‘people’ phone up their producer drinking buddies they went to Uni with and say ‘one of the team is takjing a hit, so our talking head needs to come on… with conditions (like not addressing the substance) and punt out a disclaimer so you lot can then swiftly move on’.
‘standing up for Abbott’
Hilarious.
He has been briefed by the same folk who bodged togther the best defence for Ms. Abbott, which has more holes in it than a colander. When such as the Graun’s Bad Science guy dismiss such pathetic disembling as beyond the pale, you know they plot has been lost.
And while Kay Burley was, for once, better briefed, the nonsesne just continued to spew forth.
A 140 character twat. Have to say Ms. Burley buried him (and Ms. Abbott) with his (and her) own words.
Be funny if she had said to this guy (who cheerfully claims that he wasn’t aware of much regarding this case) that ‘he can’t say that’ when he utters tripe, unlike a shop owner offering witness testimony that doesn’t seem to suit.
His rationale that what happens in one case should be allowed to slide because it might hurt the course of something else was facile. This clip is textbook. Get the clown on everywhere. But the consequences to social harmony might be a problem.
Ok on The World Tonight Bbc r4 fm, awful news programme, we had a former leader of Lambeth council Linda Bellos and a Guardianista, forgoten his name…
Both very apologetic of Dianne Abbot’s racist remarks.
No surprise there then on BBC! Such an impartial news organisation!
And we had Ms Bellos saying, incredible as it was left unopposed, I quote, “….my father didn’t come here because of the weather!..”
The BBC is full of racism, just listen! If you are white , we apologise in advance. The BBC is “hideously white”, shit, now who said that?
Tweet by Toby Young of the Telegraph:
‘Looks like #Newsnight bumped me for the General Secretary of the Fabian Society. Won’t he and Darcus Howe agree, though?’
Jeff
‘Won’t he and Darcus Howe agree’
They speak for the nation, at least according to the guys behind the studio glass, and upstairs.
Apparently.
Great to see Jasper, Bellos, Butts and all the other racing snakes all slither out as the BBC plays “Imagine” on a borrowed recorder by the picnic hamper.
Any chance of getting Boateng home to complete my bullshit bingo…all my duckies ina row anyway?
It`ll need quite a few more deadheads from the Guardians classifieds, or from Haringeys Racial Monitoring Unit if they want to be able to hold hands AND circle Dianne Abbott.
Hope the race industry can spare us a few more…I for one have long wondered if we actually employed enough of these charmers…
more previous race hustling from lardy

newsnight spinning for abbott ,two for her none against.balanced its in our genes,i think not
So in the end, we had Darcus Howe, who basically said ‘I agree with everything Diane Abbott said, except for the bit where she apologised’, and possibly the most bland and boring man to ever appear on Newsnight, who muttered liberal platitudes whilst occionally licking Darcus Howe’s arse.
You can see why they pulled Toby Young…
Jeff
That’s how the BBC like to kill a story, Newsnight is always the key, as I have pointed out before when the BBC want to big up a story for the following day (like hacking) they use Newsnight to ‘send out the message’ by making it the lead story or the second big story so Radio 4 Toady and Radio 5 with Dame Nikki get to run it all day, but also Newsnight can totally kill a story, just like they did with Abbott tonight.
The dumb f**ks think we don’t notice, we do BBC we do.

“LABOUR REFUSE TO SACK DIANE ABBOTT FOR ‘RACIST’ TWITTER COMMENTS ”
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/293692/Labour-refuse-to-sack-Diane-Abbott-for-racist-Twitter-comments
I think it’s quite interesting that the left seem to now be fighting back and using the cover of the Lawrence trial to somehow protect Abbott.
But think back to Jeremy Clarkson just a few weeks ago, when he simply made a joke that under no circumstance could be taken out of context or seriously, the left including ‘ride a bandwagon’ Red Ed were calling for Clarkson to say sorry or be sacked. All sorts of calls for the Met Police to come in and so on.
Now the left are getting a bucket load back from the right, they are looking to use the murder of Stephen Lawrence to try to hide Abbott behind.
Did anyone else see the Newsnight debate? What a totally pointless interview and waste of oxygen that was. The BBC are quite happy to kill this story. What got me was Diane Abbott refused to go on the BBC today yet did and interview for Sky, I wonder why?
Let’s see if the left have learnt a lesson here, the next time atory MP or Jeremy Clarkson says something ‘controversial’ shall we see if the same old voices pipe up calling for their sacking? I’m putting odds on they will.

It has a strangely North Korean feel about it…

Is anyone else getting that picture of Billy Bragg embedded in the top headline? He gets everywhere!
yep, me too. cream goes to the top…but so does scum and shit.
Looks like Ms Abbott gets to keep her BBC job!
I was just told the following by the BBC Complaints dept:
I understand you are unhappy at comments made by Diane Abbott on her Twitter account.
However, the Twitter account in question is a personal account and it is neither officially linked to, nor does it represent the views of, the BBC.
Jeff
PS When I replied to this email (to ask why this wasn’t the approach taken re. Carol Thatcher’s allegedly racist remark), the email bounced!
How can people escalate complaints to Stage 2 if they can’t reply to the responses to their original complaints?!?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/handle-complaint/
Jeff
‘How can people escalate complaints to Stage 2 if they can’t reply to the responses to their original complaints?!? ‘
The answer is in a locked filing cabinet in basement behind a door marked ‘Beware of the Leopard’.
Where’s there a Vogon Constructor Fleet around White City when you need it?
I have had my lastest reply from an actual person in complaints who seems determined that I agree to her explanations on the Thatcher/Liverpool stitch up, and will post that exchnage later.
I’ll ask on your behalf.
Unlucky Carole Thatcher didn’t ‘do’ twitter, as an actual private conversation sneaked and broadcast by colleagues in a green room is so much worse than a private conversation (h/t: peroxide sink on R5) on… er.. a mass open internet forum.
One rule for some, another for those the hive protects.
Helen, your work is done.
However, as a means of promoting harmony, such double standards are a dodgy path.
Like Al Capone’s taxes, Twitter may yet be the BBC’s downfall.
It certainly seems indefensible that they push the disclaimer element when cornered, but then constantly write (on such as The Editors) how it will form the backbone of their ‘news’ product.
