She has chosen to cite examples where Jews, Irish and travellers did not suffer racism and has used that to “prove” that they don’t suffer it anywhere. I quote:
//She added: "In pre-civil rights America, Irish people, Jewish people and Travellers were not required to sit at the back of the bus."
"In apartheid South Africa, these groups were allowed to vote. And at the height of slavery, there were no white-seeming people manacled on the slave ships."//
That statement is certainly correct. But it hardly proves her point. Perhaps she wasn’t present when this discussion took place in Parliament:

“No one could fail to be appalled by the disgraceful scenes of antisemitic abuse directed at members of the Jewish community in the past week. In Chigwell, Rabbi Rafi Goodwin was hospitalised after being attacked outside his synagogue. In London, activists drove through Golders Green and Finchley, both areas with large Jewish populations, apparently shouting antisemitic abuse through a megaphone. These are intimidatory, racist and extremely serious crimes. The police have since made four arrests for racially aggravated public order offences and have placed extra patrols in the St John’s Wood and Golders Green areas.”
Ms Abbott is an absolutely appalling MP and I cannot understand why she is continually selected to stand as a Labour Candidate (in a Constituency where I lived for 24 years - thankfully before she came along). It beggars belief that she would have been appointed Home Secretary had Mr Corbyn been elected to office. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of her spell in Parliament.
