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:
According to Amnesty, most online abuse is from the Right, directed to people on the Left:
But of course, it’s the Left who are bullies and racists …

Mr Pride – Of course you would never tolerate any such language in the comments on your site or (God forbid) use it yourself… of course if it’s about a Tory then that doesn’t count, does it?

What depths have we sunk to in the UK when creatures such as this feel free to make such racist and abusive comments? This is the banality that we get when we allow morons like these to have freedom of speech. Sadly this seems to be supported by the present government and the traitors in UKIP.

Jess Philips boasted of abusing Diane Abbott to her face, in their workplace, in front of others. Try that with one of your colleagues at work and see how your feet don’t touch the ground.

And I bet you thought the Neanderthal’s were succeeded by Cro Magnum – well here’s proof that intellectually challenged knuckle draggers have somehow managed to evade the evolutionary cull.

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. Your insults mean nothing; they are bigoted hot air and will not stop her fulfilling her mandate.

I support the Labour Movement, always have done. I am happy to support Jeremy Corbyn because he talks about the things that matter to me and mine in a way that makes sense. He isn’t a rent-a-suit/rosette-changeable apparatchik.
Diane Abbott has made me raise my eyebrows more than once. I don’t dislike her, she is very bright and hard-working but I was surprised to hear she had the shadow home secretary’s job. I shouldn’t have been.
I was made aware of the volume of non-stop, ongoing vile abuse of which this woman is in receipt, day in, day out, and the nature of the abuse.
It attacks her personally, deeply unpleasant but that’s politics;
it attacks her because of the colour of her skin, which is horrible, throwback, numb-nut racist bile;
it attacks her for being a woman, with just about every stereotype insult being dragged out to fit;
following on from that, it attacks her education – the very nerve of this woman and she is non-white- and a bloody lefty!;
Which bring us to attacks on her political beliefs, or what are perceived to be her political beliefs by association, again, that’s politics, which would not be quite so bad if the accusations were accurate;
I don’t know about you but I would quite like to have an MP in that Shadow Home Secretary’s job who understands irrational hatred and rampant prejudice -other things she has been attacked for! – because those anti-rational traits have been encouraged by less scrupulous agencies and are now tearing the country apart.
Maybe it’s not such a bad idea after all.

“Negrophobes exist. It is not hatred of the Negro, however, that motivates them; they lack the courage for that, or they have lost it. Hate is not inborn; it has to be constantly cultivated, to be brought into being, in conflict with more or less recognized guilt complexes. Hate demands existence and he who hates has to show his hate in appropriate actions and behavior; in a sense, he has to become hate. That is why Americans have substituted discrimination for lynching. Each to his own side of the street.”

All political parties have their fair share of nutters, racists and other undesirables.
Sad reflection on society.
Wonder if you would have been as keen to point it out if she had been black and Tory?

Working class traitors doing the billionaires job for them of divide and conquer. Nothing more, nothing less, except there might be a couple of middle class traitors too. Just the kind of people who stood behing the class bully shouting kill kill when h/she hit on some kid superior to him/her in every way. It isn’t a race thing, but a coward thing. What is it with people who side with their oppressors?? We were meant to laugh and see what was wrong with Alf Garnet but it seems they are not that bright – well they wouldn’t be if they fall for the post truth agenda, and refuse to believe they are boing conned.
