Sack Dianne Abbott on the grounds of racism

Additional Information

Dianne Abbott said on Twitter 'White people love playing divide & rule, we should not play their game'.

Now imagine a white male MP saying 'Black people love playing divide & rule, we should not play their game'. The individual would be sacked and labelled a disgrace, and rightly so.

Dianne Abbotts comments were ignorant, whether she has been somehow taken out of context (and it is difficult to see how this could happen) or not, the blunder is enough to have a bi election called.

In recent times:

-Ann Winterton was sacked for telling a racist joke and rightly so.
-Labour have called for Aidan Burley to be gotten rid of for attending a party with 'potential' nazi themed fancy dress.

Yet Dianne abbott is given 'a severe dressing down'.

If she doesn't resign she should be sacked, as she should not be in a position of trust as an MP and clearly cannot represent the views of the country or her constituents any longer.
