Dawn Butler racism just fine according to Labour

We can all see who the “nasty” party is in this offensive spat, and it’s certainly not the conservatives. How times have changed.

In general, I find left-wing people far nastier than moderate conservatives. Frankie Boyle is a good example. He has said the most horrific things over the years. He made tasteless jokes about Jade Goody, for example. There are lines you don’t cross in life, and that was one of them. When a young woman, with small children, dies of cancer, you don’t joke about it. You just don’t. He also made vile jokes about Saddam Hussein’s execution. Hussain was a wicked man, but you don’t laugh at someone being hung. I don’t believe Boyle cares about the poor one tiny bit. He seems motivated entirely by hatred. And like so many left-wing people, he is destructive. A lot of lefties never grow out of the adolescent rebel stage. You know, the desire to smash things just to get a reaction. But like so many left-wing people, Boyle uses his politics as a kind of mask or shield. “I’m left-wing, which means I’m a goodie, which means my nastiness doesn’t count”. I get the same vibe off Russell Brand. “OK, I might be a serial abuser, but I wrote a book calling for left-wing revolution, so I can’t be a bad man.” To be left-wing means to be good, end of story. Time and again I’m struck by the similarities between left-wing people and religious fundamentalists.

She's an absolutely appalling woman. But Labour have a problem. Since KS has been in charge he's already had to remove the whip from/suspend Diane Abbott, Apsana Begum, Rupa Huq and Zarah Sultana. Can anyone see an awkward pattern there?

I mean it's bad enough for Labour that the Tories, this allegedly increasingly 'far right' and 'racist' party according to many, have already had an Indian heritage Prime Minister and former Chancellor, 2 female Indian heritage Home Secretaries, 3 female prime ministers, a female of Nigerian heritage now leading the party and likely to be the next PM, plus a Chancellor of Pakistani heritage and one of Ghanaian heritage, plus James Cleverly and Nadim Zahawi.

Dawn Butler absolutely should be on that list of suspended MPs. It's not her first offence yet she's been let off the hook. Plenty of black and ethnic minority people in Labour (as well as several Guardian journalists and left wing bloggers) have used unforgiveable language about Kemi, as they previously did for Suella and Priti in particular, Kwasi K and others, in relation to their ethnicity apparently being out of line with their politics.

But frankly if KS suspended every ethnic minority MP who indulged in 'black and brown intra-communal language or forms of critique, satire or compliment (e.g. coconut, Uncle Tom, Aunt Kemi, house negro, choc ice etc.)' or said something anti-semitic, he'd risk having no ethnic minority MPs left.

I am not an idiot thank you very much. I understand the issues. I repeat - I do not see why farmers should have a special right to inherit without paying tax. Yes, maybe they will have to sell their farms just as wealthy people have always had to do and middle class people with their estates too.

Dawn Butler does seem to have the most extraordinary amount of leeway to say the most dreadful things about MPs without any consequence.

Yeah right Dawn's racist 😂😂😂

I see Kemi has picked preti 'awful' patel.

Must have been difficult picking the talent.

I hope it's just a lack of knowledge on her part that makes her say that. Hopefully she will be able to read up on the issue now.

Has anyone on here condoned her tweet?

I hope you get what you want from this thread @Babadookinthewardrobe
