First we have Karen Bradley saying if the army shoot you then it's not a crime. Now Amber Rudd calls Diane Abbot a "coloured woman."

The scary part is the opposition could be even worse!

That's because there is no real backlash. Diane Abbott has been saying this her whole political career and black people are still being called 'coloured'. It's a freudian slip by Amber

Maybe there was confusion over how black is black ?

An upcoming biopic about the father of Serena and Venus Williams has faced criticism amid reports that Will Smith will play the lead role.

Richard Williams, 77, coached his daughters to become two of the world's greatest tennis players, despite having no previous experience of the game.

But Smith's reported casting in the film has angered critics, who say he is too light-skinned for the part.

Wrong thread there?

Well given the free pass to some IRA terrorists apparently killing people of any sort wasn't a crime.

As for Dianne Abbott she has been getting away with racist comments and saying sorry (sometimes) for years.

1996 : "blonde, blue-eyed Finnish girls" were unsuitable as nurses because they had "never met a black person before"

Scandinavian people don't know black people—they probably don't know how to take their temperature

2012: "White people love playing 'divide and rule' We should not play their game"

1984:Abbott criticised the Unionist population of Northern Ireland as an "enclave of white supremacist ideology comparable to white settlers in Zimbabwe"
"Ireland is our struggle — every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us. A defeat in Northern Ireland would be a defeat indeed"

Given the context I thought she was aiming for "women of colour" and tripped over her words. I might be wrong of course.

False outrage by Abbott. Especially given her record of gaffes.

Just to add to the list, we have a defence secrtary who asks why we can't use lorries and car ferries instead of tanks and warships, a foreign secretary (the NEW one!) who thought the Japanese spoke Chinese, dear old Dom Raab who never knew Dover was so busy, Esther McVey who said rape victims would enjoy having a chat about their attack with the DWP, a cheif whip who screwed over a pregnant MP by withdrawing her pair, old uncle Chris Grayling and all....

After reading your title, I came to say "it's not just the government, it's fucking all of them" but I see you've got that covered.

You're not wrong.

The lot of em are utter arseholes.
