    Abbott getting a well deserved kicking

    Question Time audience member demands Diane Abbott apology | Daily Mail Online

    Shameless Diane Abbott REFUSES to apologise for branding Brexit voters racist after Question Time audience member demands she say sorry for her 'disgusting lie'
    Diane Abbott made remarks about Brexit-racial hate crime links in September
    An audience member on Question Time in Gillingham had not forgotten them
    He laid into her, calling her 'disgusting' over her perceived generalisation
    She said this isn't what she meant but pointed to a 41 per cent rise in hate crimes
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

    So she points out something which is factually correct, other people accuse of her of saying something else, and now she's being attacked for refusing to apologise for something she never? Seems like this is one step too far.

    Of course there are links between racism, far-right groups and Brexit just as there are between similar types and Trump. Of course that doesn't mean Brexit supporters are generally racist or far-right.

    All the racists probably voted Brexit but not all Brexit voters (or anywhere near) are racists.

        Bloody politically correct offence-taking snowflake, whining when an MP exercises her freedom of speech.

          I think Abbottamus is pithier. She does deserve opprobrium, generally, but it seems that in this case she's done nothing wrong. Clearly the people who think otherwise are racist, sexists and sizeist.
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
