I’ve picked out just a tiny sample of the racist, sexist bullying and disgusting abuse being dished out online to Diane Abbott, the UK’s first black woman MP

But of course, it’s the Left who are bullies and racists …

Pretty sure they would all have voted Leave as well.

Was I supposed to say "please sir I don't want to go". I did not agree with that war, but when I got there I did the best I could to follow my orders. I was 19 yrs old and thrown straight into a filthy bloody war that scared me shitless. Yes I killed men {and Women]but it was them or me, and to be honest I got quite good at it,but I didn't like it. Quill should shut his mouth, he knows nothing about what it was like !
Yeah, I gave Quill a red for that post. There was no need for it at all.

It's a debate I have with my OH all the time, he is an ex soldier. As far as I am concerned, if you join the forces you join knowing that you will kill, and you will kill because of orders that you might not agree with. Now for me, that would most definitely stop me joining one of the armed forces. I could not, and would not be the gun for a politician to use to persue policies I might not agree with. If someone came after my family I would defend them, but not because of orders by someone else. I simply cannot imagine letting myself be used in that way.

Anyone?
The remarks were a bit off, but there wasn't much racism in there. I'm afraid you picked the wrong "victim" because Diane Abbott is a rather controversial figure anyway.

I absolutely agree with one of the comments on the link:
It’s amazing Dianne Abbott has had to endure insults, racism, vitriol and smear since she became the first black female MP in fact all her political life, every time she shows her face the knives come out, Yet she has had a long and illustrious career as a politician, even serving in government, she has been returned to the commons in election after election by her constituents and has always been the champion of ordinary people.

Re: UK TODAY: disgusting torrent of racist and sexist abuse unleashed at UK’s first black woman MP
I can't think of one single reason to describe Diane Abbott as illustrious. Returned to the commons in election after election in an area that would vote for a monkey if it was wearing a Labour rosette!

To 2010:
Abbott's career in politics began in 1982 when she was elected to Westminster City Council serving until 1986. In 1985 she unsuccessfully fought to be selected in Brent East, losing out to Ken Livingstone.[8] In 1987 she was elected to the House of Commons, replacing the deselected serving Labour MP Ernest Roberts as MP for Hackney North & Stoke Newington. Elected along with Keith Vaz, Bernie Grant and Paul Boateng, she was the first woman from an African Caribbean background to become an MP.[9]
Abbott has a record of differing from some party policies, describing herself as the "only candidate who listened and voted against the Iraq war",[6] opposing ID cards and campaigning against the renewal of Britain's Trident nuclear weapons.[10][11]
Abbott's speech on civil liberties, in the debate on the Counter-Terrorism Bill 2008[12] won The Spectator magazine's "Parliamentary Speech of the Year" award[13][14] and further recognition at the 2008 Human Rights awards.[15]
Although Abbott has never held a ministerial post in government, she has served on a number of parliamentary committees on social and international issues. For most of the 1990s she also served on the Treasury Select Committee of the House of Commons.[16] She went on to serve on the Foreign Affairs Select Committee.[16]
Abbott chairs the All-Party Parliamentary British-Caribbean Group and the All-Party Sickle Cell and Thalassemia Group.[16]
Abbott is founder of the London Schools and the Black Child initiative, which aims to raise educational achievement levels amongst black children.[17]
In May 2010, she was re-elected in her constituency of Hackney North and Stoke Newington, with a doubled majority on an increased turn-out.[18] She was again re-elected in 2015 with 62% of the vote.[19]
At Goldsmiths, University of London, on 26 October 2012, a jubilee celebration was held to honour Abbott's 25 years in parliament, with a series of concerts by Linton Kwesi Johnson, Kadija Sesay, and others.[20][21]
She was given a score of 79% by Stonewall based on how she voted on all pro-gay rights legislation before Parliament between 2005 and 2010.[
On 20 May 2010, Abbott announced her intention to stand in the Labour leadership contest. She secured the necessary 33 nominations by 9 June, assisted by the withdrawal of left-wing candidate John McDonnell and unexpected support from David Miliband.[23][24] On Saturday 25 September 2010, Ed Miliband was announced as the new leader of the Labour Party with Abbott eliminated in the first round of voting after securing 7.24% of votes.[25]
Abbott was later appointed Shadow Minister for Public Health by Ed Miliband, taking shadow responsibility for a range of issues including children's health, maternity services, sexual health, tobacco, nursing, obesity and alcohol abuse.[26]
On the issue of abortion, Abbott has become a vocal ‘pro-choice’ supporter, opposing moves towards changing abortion counselling policy, and reducing the abortion time limit. Abbott resigned from a cross-party group on abortion counselling saying it was no more than a front to push forward an anti-abortion agenda without debate in parliament.[27]
Following her move onto the front-bench, the Telegraph said on 27 September 2011 that Abbott had "become one of Labour’s best front bench performers".

That's pretty illustrious.

What a strange and silly thread. All the OP wanted was for people to criticise the torrent of abuse directed at this MP.
Yet few people bothered to address this, or even click the link. Instead they are falling over themselves to hammer home their belief that two wrongs make a right.
Two wrongs do not make a right, actually. Situations like this need a bigger person to rise above low behaviour. No use preaching that so and so behaved in a low way, then promptly sinking down to the low level that you have just criticised.

The point is to see if there is that one free thinking person who'll be the exception who rises above the group-think dross. Instead of everyone stampeding to sing from the same hymn sheet.

I totally agree and for that reason, I once turned down a very nice soldier after he asked me for a date. We met in a pub and got on really well all night, but I couldn't get past the fact that he thought war was a valid option, (and he was very convincing as well as very good looking!), and I couldn't find a reason to agree with him.
I knew it would get in the way and it would've been a big, "in the way" for me.

Depends on what you mean by "kill for our country." Britain hasn't been invaded since the Battle of Fishguard in 1797, when the Revolutionary French landed in the last invasion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Fishguard), and the US hasn't been invaded since the Battle of Midway, June 4-6, 1942, when the Imperial Japanese lost four aircraft carriers.
These foreign military adventures since the Second War, have nothing to do with defense.

Well people have been quite happy to get tore into Dianne Abbot for racist remarks that she has made and true enough she has some form on that score but mild in comparison to what I see on the tweets highlighted. It's a bit srange though that I can't muster up anyone to codemn them.
So lets try the darling of the RWs, Kate Hopkins, to se if I can get anyone to condemn her for her hate speech. Surely there must be some RW's out there who can bring themself to conden this..

KATIE HOPKINS is an abuse magnet...
Much like News Ltd's Miranda Devine (A Daily Telegraph columnist) down in Sydney..
Sounds/looks like they're both "cut from the same cloth".
With Ragamuffin being a Katie Hopkins fan, no doubt she could be a Miranda Devine supporter too, if she ever got the chance..

Hopkins admitted on LBC she is trolling the left wing to create anger against her. She knows she is drawing a fine line against accepable broadcasting and knows she will overstep the mark and get LBC in trouble and get herself fired.
Perhaps its a shame her brain surgery for her epilepsy was successful. Failure would have prevented her continuing her career of "hate".

Britain hasn't been invaded since the Battle of Fishguard in 1797, when the Revolutionary French landed in the last invasion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Fishguard), and the US hasn't been invaded since the Battle of Midway, June 4-6, 1942, when the Imperial Japanese lost four aircraft carriers.
These foreign military adventures since the Second War, have nothing to do with defense.
I agree with this. What I find distasteful Quill is your lack of respect for those who have served.
And why do you respect them? It's just a job...there's nothing sacrosanct about it in my mind. If someone is awarded the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross or the Distinguished Service Cross, I wouldn't deny my admiration. It's just like if somebody in civilian life did something heroic.
I don't particularly dislike people in the military, either. I do dislike what they are given permission to do. And what they get away with. With so much excitement to war, no one pays attention to the little things. That's how babies get lost. Like people who work in a quarantine ward...I think it's unhealthy.
That's why we should know the reason for war. At least articulate a policy. We go about it all too lightly these days. Most of our wars have been for reasons of revenge. That's a very poor excuse at a very costly price.
I cannot believe the stupidity of the Second Iraq war. Lies to get us in. It's still unclear what we intended going in...we in America are covered as far as oil is concerned. Was it Dick Cheney and profits for Halliburton? Was it just to suck off the tit of the American treasury? Maybe a little bit. But mostly, I just think that we wanted to lose our temper. And of course, after we've smashed all of our toys, my how sorry we are. Seventeen-trillion dollars flushed down the toilet, hundreds of thousands of lives lost, the brink of depression in October, 2008...and we're supposed to revere the guys who did this? Don't hate 'em...but jesus christ, don't beatify them either.
And look! We're all about doing it again with this ISIS gang. It's the fooking tar baby all over again....

"Didn't the fox never catch the rabbit, Uncle Remus?" asked the little boy the next evening.
"He come mighty nigh it, honey, sho's you born--Brer Fox did. One day atter Brer Rabbit fool 'im wid dat calamus root, Brer Fox went ter wuk en got 'im some tar, en mix it wid some turkentime, en fix up a contrapshun w'at he call a Tar-Baby, en he tuck dish yer Tar-Baby en he sot 'er in de big road, en den he lay off in de bushes fer to see what de news wuz gwine ter be. En he didn't hatter wait long, nudder, kaze bimeby here come Brer Rabbit pacin' down de road--lippity-clippity, clippity -lippity--dez ez sassy ez a jay-bird. Brer Fox, he lay low. Brer Rabbit come prancin' 'long twel he spy de Tar-Baby, en den he fotch up on his behime legs like he wuz 'stonished. De Tar Baby, she sot dar, she did, en Brer Fox, he lay low.
"`Mawnin'!' sez Brer Rabbit, sezee - `nice wedder dis mawnin',' sezee.
"Tar-Baby ain't sayin' nuthin', en Brer Fox he lay low.
"`How duz yo' sym'tums seem ter segashuate?' sez Brer Rabbit, sezee.
"Brer Fox, he wink his eye slow, en lay low, en de Tar-Baby, she ain't sayin' nuthin'.
"'How you come on, den? Is you deaf?' sez Brer Rabbit, sezee. 'Kaze if you is, I kin holler louder,' sezee.
"Tar-Baby stay still, en Brer Fox, he lay low.
"'You er stuck up, dat's w'at you is,' says Brer Rabbit, sezee, 'en I;m gwine ter kyore you, dat's w'at I'm a gwine ter do,' sezee.
"Brer Fox, he sorter chuckle in his stummick, he did, but Tar-Baby ain't sayin' nothin'.
"'I'm gwine ter larn you how ter talk ter 'spectubble folks ef hit's de las' ack,' sez Brer Rabbit, sezee. 'Ef you don't take off dat hat en tell me howdy, I'm gwine ter bus' you wide open,' sezee.
"Tar-Baby stay still, en Brer Fox, he lay low.
"Brer Rabbit keep on axin' 'im, en de Tar-Baby, she keep on sayin' nothin', twel present'y Brer Rabbit draw back wid his fis', he did, en blip he tuck 'er side er de head. Right dar's whar he broke his merlasses jug. His fis' stuck, en he can't pull loose. De tar hilt 'im. But Tar-Baby, she stay still, en Brer Fox, he lay low.
"`Ef you don't lemme loose, I'll knock you agin,' sez Brer Rabbit, sezee, en wid dat he fotch 'er a wipe wid de udder han', en dat stuck. Tar-Baby, she ain'y sayin' nuthin', en Brer Fox, he lay low.
"`Tu'n me loose, fo' I kick de natal stuffin' outen you,' sez Brer Rabbit, sezee, but de Tar-Baby, she ain't sayin' nuthin'. She des hilt on, en de Brer Rabbit lose de use er his feet in de same way. Brer Fox, he lay low. Den Brer Rabbit squall out dat ef de Tar-Baby don't tu'n 'im loose he butt 'er cranksided. En den he butted, en his head got stuck. Den Brer Fox, he sa'ntered fort', lookin' dez ez innercent ez wunner yo' mammy's mockin'-birds.
"`Howdy, Brer Rabbit,' sez Brer Fox, sezee. `You look sorter stuck up dis mawnin',' sezee, en den he rolled on de groun', en laft en laft twel he couldn't laff no mo'. `I speck you'll take dinner wid me dis time, Brer Rabbit. I done laid in some calamus root, en I ain't gwineter take no skuse,' sez Brer Fox, sezee."
Here Uncle Remus paused, and drew a two-pound yam out of the ashes.
"Did the fox eat the rabbit?" asked the little boy to whom the story had been told.
"Dat's all de fur de tale goes," replied the old man. "He mout, an den agin he moutent. Some say Judge B'ar come 'long en loosed 'im - some say he didn't. I hear Miss Sally callin'. You better run 'long."

Perhaps its a shame her brain surgery for her epilepsy was successful. Failure would have prevented her continuing her career of "hate".
It always amuses me that people who rant loudest about what is PC and right on, are often the worst for wishing people dead or harmed.
The distance between a leftie and a Nazi is closer than you think...
You have that wrong because the Home Office Select Committee say otherwise and that the far right are the worst and UKIP are the worst within our political parties.
