The Rise and Fall of the Mighty Abbott!
Posted 14 Jun 2010 by Walaa Idris
When Diane Abbott announced that she was standing for the Labour Party Leadership I had little doubt that when nominations close she will be one of the contenders. From what I have seen and heard she struck me as a strong, proud and determined woman. All very admirable and essential traits for success in any field, but what I did not expect is the manner by which she gained her nominations. Furthermore, what I find very shocking is her nonchalant attitude towards it!
Never in my wildest dreams have I expected the Mighty Ms Abbott to accept such humiliation and to even spin it as “being a victim of positive discrimination”. Her disgrace reflects negatively on both women and black people alike – but does she even see it?
