Did anyone catch her on Radio 4 this morning - Was she actually saying that we should prioritize hate crimes (even of a lesser nature) over someone having their face smashed in? Was she actually arguing against a Tory policy because it's a Tory policy??
No, she really believes that. james_tigerwoods said:

She was interviewed on something relating to this yesterday, she could barely string two words together coherently, let alone give her views which we could have guessed without her opening her mouth.

And yet still she does.Does no one in Labour have the slightest shred of self-awareness about the picture their cretinous shadow cabinet paints?
Keep up the good work Abb's.

No, she really believes that. Today she is complaining about the torrents of abuse she gets from all quarters. She shouldn't have to put up with that crap but you would have thought perhaps she might take the hint that everything she says doesn't necessarily meet with unanimous approval. We know she can't count or read, perhaps she's hard of hearing as well.

Is it abuse or just very strongly worded criticism? It's so easy to label it racism or misogyny but it's not. She's f

How does she feel about McDonnell's suggestion that MPs on the other side of the divide should be harassed & abused from the moment they leave their front door? Has she spoken out against the idea or tacitly accepted it?B'stard Child said:

You’re right of course. But sharing her alleged racism neither challenges nor mitigates it. I also think many of her colleagues know she draws fire from them and so is tolerated. What a shabby tragic rabble they have become from what they once were. I said 'once were'. king useless and an incompetent fool. This, without even discussing her own blatant racism.
