Diane Abbott

I see that Diane Abbott has been getting a lot of personal abuse. This is totally unfair and is to be deplored.

Although I am against almost everthing she stands for, I defend her right to say it. Anyone who becomes an MP has earned the right to be treated with respect. They have given up a normal life to serve the public and for this they should be praised.

Re: Diane Abbott

Sorry I don't agree that if you become am MP you deserve respect or that you give up your life to become one not in the least. I haven't seen the abuse directed at Ms Abbott but I have no respect for her as an MP.

Re: Diane Abbott

Any relation to Tony? (Our ex PM)



One of life's disappointments was that Treasurer Peter Costello left parliament so that we didn't have a government led by Abbott and Costello.

Re: Diane Abbott

Hi

If Diane Abbott wants respect she should treat others with respect.

Speedos yuk

Re: Diane Abbott

I agree old supporter, no one deserves the level of abuse she gets, I don't like her I don't like her views but that doesn't mean I can abuse her.

Then when she reports the abuse she gets told off on tv for using that language. I can't imagine what she goes through each day and I can see why she believes what she does getting so much racial abuse it must feel like everyone is racist !

Re: Diane Abbott

I agree. Respect works both ways.

Re: Diane Abbott

I agree with you Swim.
In any case, if she cant stand the heat in the kitchen she should ruddy well get out of it!
So do us all a favour Abbot.
PLEASE!

Re: Diane Abbott

Do we teach people to respect us by being disrespectful to them ? I think not. I tend to show respect and get it back in spades.

Re: Diane Abbott

I agree - she shouldn't get abuse for things she cannot help - being a woman, being black etc. Her opinions, however, like those of us all, are fair game and I regularly criticise her anti-white racism and her hypocrisy.
