Diane Abbott Jokes: Twitter Lets Rip

Just in case you missed it, Diane Abbott tweeted something rather daft/offensive/racist/adjective-of-your-choice last night.

What she tweeted exactly was: "White people love playing divide and rule. We should not play their game #tacticsasoldascolonialism".

And while you may or may not agree with her opinion (personally, I don't. To my mind, white people love playing hide and seek), we can all probably agree on one thing. That she was probably unwise to express it on Twitter.
