So they were making up her quotes and are guilty of libel? Or are you just trying to deflect from the content and try to ignore what Abbott has said in the past?  Ps. How about the Telegraph?  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/8996425/Diane-Abbott-forced-to-apologise-in-racism-row-after-claiming-White-people-love-playing-divide-and-rule.html  No doubt the Guardian covered the stories somewhere too. I'm sure they're so balanced that they'd not hide away unfavourable news stories about Labour politicians.

A good enough reason to stop using the term is to be aware of history and be sensitive to other people's feelings. Did we not used to have signs here that said 'No blacks or Irish" ?  So why is black (or Irish even) acceptable?  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Michael_W   11 #95 Posted March 9, 2019 If it's OK for people to be so sensitive about such terminology we had all better watch our p's and q's, because we will eventually create a situation where anything considered offensive terminology is outlawed or criminalised, so the nasty vitriolic leftists better watch out too 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
