Diane Abott Discovers That Twitter Is Useless.


Diane Abott, who once accused white women of being useless mothers, has been mired in another race controversy after accusing white people of trying to "divide and conquer." Her excuse this time is that Twitter's 140 character rule does not allow for proper in depth comments and that, therefore, she was misunderstood. We asked a leading psychologist for his view; "She's quite right. Twitter is a completely inappropriate medium for in depth argument and is generally only exploited successfully on the whole by the brainless with nothing to say. It doesn't explain Ms.Abott's unthinking racism, however. She often talks in terms of institutionalised racism while indulging in the very same thing herself. This is because she's a human being who often speak without thinking and use a sort of shorthand when talking about complex issues. But it is a very revealing insight into her "us and them" mentality - again something that is common to all human beings who are, essentially, still tribal in outlook. My tip is that if you've anything important to say don't use Twitter. Think of it this way - would you send a receipe via Twitter?"
