I can't understand for the life of me why Corbyn keeps her in such a high profile position.
She's a disaster. |  | |  |

No fan of Diane, but..
When does a comment become offensive?
- Just by saying it and somebody taking offence?
- Saying it with malicious intent?
- Something else? |  |

This week the Home Secretary has lied to Parliament on at least two occasions, publicly blamed officials for doing nothing other than enforce government policy and still has her job. But this is what matters. | |

IT shows us that the lunatics have well and truly taken over the asylum.
There's no shame anymore with these people in power.

This is a religious mode of dress, hence the sensitivety. | | | |

Horrible?
Only if somebody doesn't understand the dictionary definition of the word 'costume' which is:
'clothes in a style typical of a particular country, group of people or historical period'.
Costume is exactly the right word for the dress of the group she was talking about.
But of course Diane Abbott is, despite her many faults, well educated, unlike, it appears, certain twitter users, idiot journalists at The Express, or, indeed, Dwight. | | | |

The word costume is completely acceptable to use in this instance, it’s not remotely offensive or inappropriate, and I feel absolutely filthy for sticking up for Diane Abbott but in this instance she’s not done anything wrong for a change. |  |

That may be true but I can't imagine many people describing Moslems as wearing costumes. | | | |

She said they wore costume, perfectly correctly, as they do.
It's not her fault if some people are thick as mince. | | | |

I'm sure that the Jewish people that have been offended by this remark will appreciate being described as 'thick as mince'. | | | |

Being thick knows no boundaries of race, religion, colour, gender, sexuality or anything else.
The only people offended by the word used are those who don't know what the word means. | | | |
