A Labour MP has been criticised for sharing a Twitter post telling Rotherham sex abuse victims to ‘shut their mouths for the good of diversity’.
Naz Shah, who represents Bradford West, shared and liked a post tweeted out from a parody account of newspaper columnist Owen Jones. It said: ‘Those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths. For the good of diversity.’ The 43-year-old later deleted her retweet and unliked the post. But she was criticised by the Equality and Human Rights Commission chief executive Rebecca Hilsenrath who said the MP should ‘know better’. Ms Hilsenrath said: ‘We need to keep the victims of these horrific crimes at the heart of the debate and always remember that diversity is not served by silence.’ Ms Shah’s comments come just days after she attacked fellow Labour MP Sarah Champion for speaking out about the Rotherham sex scandal in article. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/metro.c...y-6872181/amp/ |

That's pretty awful. I hope the party discipline her.

It beggers belief when MP's and important public figures display their ignorance on their twitter accounts.

It's a sign of things to come. I'll wager that the day will come when these political parties will make laws that require sexually assaulted women to keep quiet when it harms the diversity is wonderful narrative. We know that what the left secretly believe today will one day become the laws when the environment changes and they can get away with it.

To me,She either agreed with the content of the Tweet and RT'd liked and then realised afterwards 'oh ****,I don't want people knowing i think that'
Or She thought 'ooh ooh Owen Jones i love him!*RT *Like in a fit of fangirl lust without actually reading it first. Either way |

So was it ok for Owen to tweet it in the fist place?
Or does a parody account mean it was an imposter? Last edited by smudgie; 26-08-2017 at 10:56 AM. |

'The retweet in full reads: “RT @Owen_Jones84: @AreeqChowdhury @NazShahBfd Exactly Areeq, those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths. For the good of #diversity!” It was dated August 15.'
I don't use twitter, does this retweet mean that is from those 3 other people or to them? Has she been set up? If she has it worked in spectacular fashion.

This may help! It appears to be saying that her response was to an apparent parody account. That however does not change her response which liked/agreed with the comments made on the parody account. She then later removed her response. |

POW! BLAM!

When Corbyn made an MP resign from his front bench for trying to bring such grooming gangs to attention, I think we all know he'll have no problem keeping Naz around...
