In 2012 Diane Abbott was having a twitter conversation with Bim Adewunmi about 19th century colonialism triggered by the outcome of Stephen Lawrence case earlier that week. In the twitter conversation she stated that ‘white people love playing “divide & rule”‘. In context it was a generally accepted notion about our history but of course those who troll and persecute her do not do context. They have their own agenda.
We all love laughing at @HackneyAbbott and her incompetence, but behind her clownish behaviour is a sinister agenda that threatens Britain. Would any other politician in Britain have gotten away with the kind of racist remarks she made about white people through the years?!

They make lazy, racist tropes of their own and then pander to the racist crowd for their support. What about all the racism coming from the government? Not a word. But for Diane Abbott, who happens to disagree with much of what they say, it is an entirely different case.
Cannot think why. Can you?
