Maybe we can just agree that Abbot has opinions on institutional racism, race relations etc. that are at odds with those of the government. Maybe we can all agree that whatever she may have said herself, it doesn't excuse the abuse that she has had to endure over the years (and I suspect its been some pretty awful, vile abuse at that). Maybe we can all agree that Abbot has said things that won't have endeared herself to many people within the UK (she has made racist remarks, she is a hypocrite and her comments about the IRA would have gone down like a lead balloon for many).
I suspect that's where most of us, if not all, stand on this...👍

There's no doubt Abbot is a hypocrite, but is she isn't racist. I never said she was I was trying to point out that someone only has to say the word 'black' or 'white' these days and someone else jumps up and down screaming racist considering she's been victim of that herself she should not really go down that road and challenge others there is enough genuine racist problems in this world without inventing more

Equally she shouldn't have made racist remarks and been a hypocrite but such is life, she might have changed.

Speak for yourself. And she isn't playing the race card. speak for myself ?, thats your standard reply because you try and make out you are perfect and everyone else is stupid our own pa announcer occasionally names the wrong scorer She is playing the rascist card,like lots of non whites in this country do.Sometimes its valid,but most times its bull .

Gives you more time to instance those many hypocrisies you referenced ... Private education, bullying ... I take your point with the first, not so sure about the second and you're still a long way from demonstrating her to be 'a massive hypocrite on most subjects.' I'll assume you were exaggerating but feel free to come up with more.
