    Oh come on Ellers, i really cannot believe that you would not be aware of the racist abuse that Abbot has suffered.
    And no, you are not a racist I’m sure.

    Firstly staines I don't like digs regarding my degree. Yes I have a MA and yes I have a top grade and worked bloody hard for it. Like you did with your job. It is sad when people need to start coming out with crap like this.
    As I said, I never knew she had been racially abused and yes, it was wrong. However when someone makes a stupid mistakes like she has, then I see no harm in mocking her. As Goldie said she should have thick skin.

    I was actually awaiting a response regarding the Chukka re-election where I gave you an example.

    That was racist and I don't doubt that. But several people have been jailed for violent/ death threats against Berger, which takes it to another level imo

    I don't have an agenda with Corbyn. I just don't think he's a leader. He has a problem with jews. He hangs around with terrorist groups. He is weak. And if anyone actually believes he ticked remain on his ballot paper need their heads tested.

    I don't understand how my degree has anything to do with what we are talking about? We are discuss the mocking of a politician.

    Fully agree with your last sentance. There is a major differance and I suspect that a large amount of the Labour Party people being accused of being anti-semetic are just pro Palestinian.

    Mocking of politicians has gone on for centuries. It's part of the British Establishment. Racism is out. Sexism is out. Threats of violence are out. Some keyboard warriors don't seem to get that.

    My point was that she is not stupid, as some make out, as like you, she has a degree.
    You can read into my comment what you like.

    Put the onus on the media platforms to respond to complaints in a substantial and timely manner. And track down and prosecute trolls that make credible threats of violence

    They would be pretty stupid to do that right now, the day or day after they have pulled out of their previous party, when they have not yet formed, or joined, any political party.
