I must add it's nice to the concern now as to Diane Abbott.
Because even on here, the ridicule of her and dislike was quite intense.

Plus I have to add, there's people who are in ALL Parties admitted as members.
However who may be or would be deemed sooner or later as not being suitable to select for election on a first time or subsequent time
No matter who they were.

…I think that one of the most disappointing and saddening things with Diane for me, was that she could have voiced such prejudice when she has been such a victim of it herself…and obviously, still is…Frank Hester’s statement that Diane made him ‘hate all black women’ was appalling….at least with Diane, she has ‘served her time’ as it were, in her suspension….for many other cases, it’s just yesterday’s news and move on…but now a ban from standing as well…?…this is just not sitting right, Joey….

From the views she expressed , I said she'd gone way over the line.
Often apologies means little oncebthe damage is done.

For me she shouldn't be an MP now.
She's been one long enough tomorrow how to control herself and what is offensive to say or not.

She's only banned from standing as a Labour representative not to be an MP overall.
If she's that popular stand as an independent when she can then say much of anything she likes.if she gets elected.

…ok, that’s all fair enough of a mindset, Joey…I’ll go away and have a little think on that, actually…I mean, I don’t disagree that ‘the damage is done’ but it feels that, that’s quite inconsistent and selective…(…not with you, I’m not saying…I mean in politics and fairness and consistency is what we always like to see, also…)…
