Although This Type Of Crime Should Be Severely Condemned, By Any Right Minded Person, Is Diane Abbott Correct In What She Says?

/// 'With right-wing politicians across the world scapegoating migrants, refugees and others for their economic problems, we are seeing a deeply worrying rise in the politics of hate. ///

/// 'We must make clear that there is no place for anti-foreigner myths, racism and hate in our society.' ///

Fine words, but are they the answer, should crimes committed by migrants be varnished over, so as to not encourage hate crime?

Is it not correct that the increase in migrants, refugees and others has caused economic problems?

As last night was Saturday night I imagine there were scores of serious assaults up and down the country (there are plenty on Sunday to Friday as well). I've not read about any of them but I'd be surprised if there were none other than the one mentioned here.

The one mentioned here hits the headlines because the allegation, so we're told, is that the victim was an asylum seeker. So what makes the assault on him more newsworthy than any of the others that almost certainly took place over the last couple of days?

Have a look at this report:

http://www.hinckleytimes.net/news/local-news/pensioner-killed-serious-assault-cosby-12653668

Just a few weeks ago. A crime equally despicable (in fact more so because the victim died). Anyone remember seeing make top billing on the BBC national news? Anyone remember the local MP taking to Twitter calling the perpetrator "scum"? Anyone remember Diane Abbott getting out of her pram over it. Anyone remember the pensioner's death being linked to the rise in "hatred" of old people for having their pensions triple locked, thus causing economic problems? Me neither.

This assault made headlines because of the recorded rise in hate crime in the past year, and there are dozens upon dozens of assault crimes which make the national papers every month where race is not a determining factor.

There isn't a rise in hatred for old people.

[-Talbot-]

I still don't believe there is a rise in hatred for foreigners.


Yes these people are scum.

''Attackers are scum, says MP''

I wonder if MP Gavin Barwell called the scum that killed innocents in London last week scum?

[david small]

Abbott is a slug seeking any means to further her agenda. This is only one of numerous assaults recently, but one the left can manipulate to emphasise their perspective. Scum has it's uses.

[ichkeria]

Yes I think most people would agree with her on this.
I wouldn't agree that migrant crimes should be xxxxxed over, but she doesn't appear actually to have said that.

[-Talbot-]

Should?

[-Talbot-]

ah, misread your 'wouldn't'

From what I know of her ...I do think she would prefer crimes by migrants to be glossed over.

[mikey4444]

Talbot...what possible evidence do you have for saying that ?

[-Talbot-]

From what I know of her



An opinion based on what I know of her

[kvalidir]

Talbot- why don't you 'believe there is a rise of hatred against foreigners'?

PS If you don't like that source just google it all sources seem to agree.

[mikey4444]

Talbot....ah...now I understand....no evidence then, just your prejudice.

According to the latest news, 20 people stood and watched this serious assault and did nothing.....disgraceful.

[-Talbot-]

A few reasons.

Non of the migrants I know have been victims of any hatred.
When at home I often go to a boot sale, they are absolutely choca-block with migrants ... there's never any friction.

Main reason ... I have read many, many twitter posts screaming for people to

report anything ... I mean anything ... I have reported 30 incidents this week ... report, report , report.

These dishonest idiots create friction.

Talbot....ah...now I understand....no evidence then, just your prejudice.



Prejudice?
Explain my prejdudice

[mikey4444]

Talbot....because your have made your mind up about Abbott without any evidence.

[-Talbot-]

Are you really as stupid as you come across, mikey?

I said from what I know of DA ... which is saying the opinion I have formed of her through watching hours and hours of TV that the idiot has taken part in.

[mikey4444]

Talbot....you put your foot in it at 17:16, by making a wild accusation. Apart from your own prejudices, you have been unable to justify what you have said, so I think I will leave it at that.

Unless you CAN come up with any firm evidence, of course !

[emmie]

i have had no respect for her when she castigated people for sending their children to fee paying schools, then promptly did the same, hypocrite.

“Our current economic problems are almost entirely the result of the last (and current) government bailing out the barrow-boy bankers,…”

The cause of our current economic problems, and almost all those in recent years, was perfectly explained by Charles Dickens’s Wilkins Micawber:

"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."

Successive governments have spent beyond their means (or rather beyond taxpayers' means)and continue to do so, steadfastly refusing to take proper measures to reduce public spending. However, we digress.

mikey, you are saying I'm prejudiced , show some balls for a change and say why you think I am prejudiced.
