That motormouthed MP Diane Abbott took to Twitter to defend a migrant rapist simply shows her as an utter twerp; perhaps, instead, she should focus on controlling her own son – a brat who likes to go around exposing himself – instead first
In January 2020, Diane Abbott MP’s son, James Abbott-Thompson, was charged with nine assaults, exposure and racially aggravated criminal damage. By March that year, aside from having exposed himself, this then 28-year-old had also spat at and punched one police officer and bitten the thumb of another, yet now his mother thinks she can wade into the migrant crisis and share her views on alleged sexual assaults.
Ms Abbott, a woman well known to be of mind stir-fried, took to Twitter last week and announced: “Teenage boy raped at hotel housing refugees. Terrible case. But it is what happens when you demonise migrants take NO responsibility for safeguarding migrant children.”
Going further in spite of very rightly being condemned for sharing such a glaringly inappropriate and morally repugnant excuse for rape, she continued: “My earlier tweet regarding the rape of the teenager in the migrant home may have been slightly raw in context but I maintain my theory, you treat migrants like rapists then they are going to behave like rapists.”
Strangely, this mother of a clearly wayward wastrel, then deleted the second tweet. Strange that, very strange indeed; shame on Diane Abbott and shame on all those who’ve subsequently come out and excused her wicked words.
The weird, weird words of the Labour Member of Parliament for Hackney North and Stoke Newington
On the ex-Labour leader, who she used to ‘enjoy’ sexual relations with, Jeremy Corbyn:
“Jeremy is always right.”
On his replacement as Labour leader (but not as her lover, allegedly) Sir Keir Starmer MP:
“Talks nonsense… Is quite strange.”
“On the question of Keir Starmer, I think we have to look at some of his advisors. It now seems that Peter Mandelson is a top advisor to Keir Starmer.”
“We only have to look at Peter Mandelson’s life and times to understand where he stands in relation to the wealthy and the powerful.”
“I think Keir Starmer’s problems are his advisors and he needs to be listening to his own party and grass roots party members more.”
“Keir Starmer’s people are spinning it, but in 2017, people forget you know, Jeremy got more votes than any other Labour leader and, you know, if he hadn’t had most of the PLP attacking him night and day, he might possibly have won in 2017.”
Responding to be accused of not being able to add up:
“I do know my figures.”
“Of course, I think things through.”
“I’m here, of course I’m here. I’m doing a media interview, I’m going on to do another media interview. There’s no truth that I’m not in the media talking about what happened.”
“I think I’m Shadow Home Secretary.”
Diane Abbott on the cost of recruiting 10,000 police officers:
“If we recruit 10,000 police officers, men and women, over a four year period, we believe it will be about £300,000… Sorry, I mean, they will cost, it will cost, erm, about £80 million.”
“We will be paying them the average, it’s been thought through. Of course it’s been thought through.”
“What we said is, of course, we’ll find the money to recruit the 10,000 police people by cutting the, cutting the money… I think that would give us 170, erm, sorry… We would find the money by restoring levels of capital gains tax.”
On racism:
“The British invented racism.”
“White people love playing divide and rule. We should not play their game… I don’t think saying that is racist… It was part of a sequenced debate that I said that.”
“We need unity between black, Asian, minority ethnic and Muslim people – we need the maximum public show of unity. Because time after time, in the past 32 years, I’ve seen efforts of people to organise disrupted by white people.”
On dogs:
“I was a postman one Christmas and I developed a morbid fear of dogs.”
On her own marriage:
“I wanted my marriage to work, but it didn’t.”
On “outsiders” and “insiders”:
“Outsiders often have an insight than an insider doesn’t quite have.”
On being an MP:
“Being an MP is a good job, the sort of job all working-class parents want for their children – clean, indoors and no heavy lifting. What could be nicer?”
“I want power. I suppose that’s the story of my life – seeking power.”
“I’m in politics to be a voice for people who don’t have a voice.”
On the Kurdistan Workers’ Party:
“There is no difference between the PKK and ISIS.”
On the vile piece of toerag and one-time friend of Ghislaine Maxwell and the late croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein that is Naomi Campbell:
“I am a fangirl of Naomi Campbell.”
On why she wanted to be Labour’s candidate to be Mayor of London:
“One of my advantages, if I was Labour’s candidate, is that loads of people know me. I’m not just talking about politics – they’ve seen me on Come Dine With Me, they’ve seen me on Pointless.”
“I am not associated with the past.”
On women in Northern Ireland:
“Women in Northern Ireland are second class citizens.”
Diane Abbott on supporting the IRA:
“Defeat for the British state would be a great liberation. A defeat in Northern Ireland would be a defeat indeed.”
On supposedly changing her views on supporting the IRA:
“It was 34 years ago, I had a rather splendid afro at the time. I don’t have the same hairstyle, I don’t’ have the same views. It was 34 years on. The hairstyle is gone, some of the views are gone.”
On supposedly changing her views about MI5:
“At that time, I and a lot of people felt MI5 needed reforming. It has since been reformed and, of course, I would not call for its abolition now. That MI5 has gone. It’s been reformed, it’s a different MI5 and that’s why so many of us are able to support it now.”
Diane Abbott on Mao Zedong:
“I suppose some people will judge that on balance Mao did more good than harm… He led his country from feudalism, he helped to defeat the Japanese and he left his country on the verge of the great economic success they are having now. I was just putting the case for Mao.”
Insulting white mothers:
“West Indian mums will go to the wall for their children.”
On being a mother:
“I put being a mother ahead of being a politician.”
On the son she sent to a private school, who went on to commit various criminal offences:
“I knew what could happen to my son if he was sent to the wrong school and got in with the wrong crowd.”
On abortion:
“Abortion is an issue of conscience for the Labour party.”
“I believe every abortion is a tragedy.”
Diane Abbott on sex:
“Of course, sex is great. We don’t have to pretend otherwise.”
On masculinity:
“There is a crisis of masculinity in Britain because of the pressures rapid economic and social change have placed on masculine identity. A generation of men are in transit and unclear of their social role. They are also under pressure to live up to pornified ideals.”
Diane Abbott on her decision to send her criminal son to a private school:
“[It was] indefensible and intellectually incoherent.”
“I’m not the only Labour MP who sent their child to public school, but I’m the only one who’s questioned about it.”
On parenting:
“When fast food is not a treat but a dietary staple, the children surf the Internet all day in dark corners of the room and are bombarded with the latest gadgets. Things replace parental standards.”
“Tackling obesity is key… Families are struggling against a tide of junk information on junk food.”
On being demoted to the backbenches:
“I was a backbencher for a few years and there is an awful lot to do on the backbenches.”
On her political strategy:
“[I am going to stop Labour going into a] dead end.”
“In politics, the people I most despise are those who have no values.”
On defending the indefensible:
“You can’t defend the indefensible. Anything you say sounds self-serving and hypocritical.”
On her many mistakes:
“You learn from your mistakes.”
On her future plans:
“I want to write a best-selling book.”
On being intensely disliked:
“[I am the] most abused of any Labour MP ever.”
And a final word from Diane Abbott herself:
“This is going round in circles… I’ve got nothing more to say, I’ve got nothing more to say.”
