Some very rare bit of extremely good news from the UK government press regulator IPSO regarding everyone’s least favourite left wing, racist, hypocritical gobshite, Diane Abbott. Because a witness came forward to corroborate a claim made in the Mail on Sunday that Ms Abbott had gone into the wrong toilet at the Palace of Westminster, she has dropped her case at IPSO against the newspaper.
The Mail on Sunday said:
Diane Abbott has dropped a complaint against The Mail on Sunday after she falsely claimed our report that she mistakenly used a gents lavatory in the House of Commons was ‘fabricated’.
The Shadow Home Secretary backed down after a witness gave a detailed account of how Ms Abbott had ‘stumbled’ into the men’s lavatory and acknowledged him as he stood at a urinal – before entering one of the cubicles. It happened at about 10pm on June 11 after Ms Abbott dined in a nearby Commons restaurant in Portcullis House, where many MPs have offices.
This newspaper reported the incident in the Black Dog political diary under the headline ‘Diane’s visit to wrong chamber’.
Our report, which comprised a total of 51 words, said she was seen ‘innocently wandering into the gents in the Commons. After a man standing at the urinals pointed out her mistake, she said “Sorry” – before calmly heading to one of the cubicles and closing the door’.
A nice little Parliamentary diary story of the sort that are often highly entertaining and provide a counter to the often highly manicured images that many politicians put out about themselves and their work. But, when Diane Abbott saw this story she appeared to flip her lid over it and made the assertion that the story was fake news. She demanded some redress from the Mail on Sunday for a story that she said was false and designed to ‘provoke abuse’. Ms Abbot also said that the story she was challenging was put together solely for ‘ridiculing’ her. I must say that Ms Abbott does indeed receive ridicule, but it’s not because of her sex, colour, body shape or her toilet habits. Diane Abbott gets ridiculed because she is an incompetent, mathematically challenged, race baiting walking talking advert for all that is wrong with today’s Labour Party.
Ms Abbott vehmently denied that the toilet incident took place but it was later shown, by the use of witnesses, that Ms Abbott had indeed ‘stumbled’ into the Gents toilet and entered a cubicle there. Faced with witness evidence that Ms Abbott had really taken a sojourn into the Gents from someone who was angry about her erroneous denial, Diane Abbott dropped her claim against the Mail with IPSOS.
The Mail on Sunday said:
The Mail on Sunday stood by the accuracy of the story and informed Ms Abbott and IPSO it had received an account by an individual who witnessed the incident and who said he was ‘outraged’ by her denial.
The individual, who is not a politician and had been visiting Parliament, said that at about 10pm on Monday evening (June 11) Ms Abbott ‘stumbled into the gents toilets’.
He continued: ‘She acknowledged me at the urinals and then went into one of the cubicles. She had been dining in The Adjournment (a restaurant in Portcullis House)… After she finished in the loo she immediately exited via Westminster Tube with her dining companion.’
So there you have it, some pretty good grounds that Diane Abbott put in a false or erroneous claim against a newspaper that swiftly unravelled when evidence came to light. The ironic thing about this case is that the story about her use of the wrong bogs would have been forgotten pretty quickly were it not for Diane Abbott making a fuss about it. I’m really not surprised to find out that Diane Abbott is not answering calls to her office that have been placed in order to get a response to this IPSO development. I think that anyone who had been caught out in such a blatant porky pie, whether in politics or not, would feel some shame about both the action and being exposed.
Listening to the constant stream of lefty guff and incompetence that emerges from the mouth of Ms Abbott I always suspected that she was the sort of person who could not be trusted to sit the right way round on a toilet. It seems that I was correct and not only that, she can’t even be trusted to find the correct toilet to not sit the right way upon.
This story and the accompanying mockery that Diane Abbott is going to get could not have happened to a more deserving or approriate politician.
