Goodenoch:
Absolutely nothing she has said in the past justifies the vile comments that man made.

Beyond being insulting to her, the comments reflected prejudice against black women and women in general. If he had stuck to insulting her as a person, I wouldn’t object because people insult politicians everyday, but linking his hate of her to being black woman showed that he’s a racist and a potentially violent one at that.


None of the comments she has ever made approaches these ones in severity and I dare you to disprove that.

kwakudtraveller:
Trying to deflect with "humour". I see through you. 🙂

kwakudtraveller:
In this case who did wrong? Dianne Abbot or Frank Hester?

She was suspended from the Party = Consequences
She apologised = Accountability and remorse.

What has the racist done since he made those remarks, and how does her previous comments make any sense to this current conversation? but here you are, defending a white man for comments made about black women.

Also, saying "who stands up for our brothers" is not the crux of the conversation so don’t deflect.

Lastly, your not seeing colour does not matter in the grand scheme of things. You are the minority race, and no matter how much you laugh with them and have them over for tea, to them, and as quoted by Femi Nylander "you will never be seen as more than a talking monkey"

kwakudtraveller:
I’m certain she was held accountable when she made those views. Also by your logic, people should be judged by their previous views even though they no longer hold those views and it should be used to justify racist and murderous dangerous remarks.

You sound like my lost sister Nana Akua who is busy twerking for people that will never see her as an equal.

Lets stand up for our women when they are attacked instead of agreeing with the oppressors just to score talking points.

missjekyll:
So? he should have his money tossed back in his face if tories have any integrity left

missjekyll:
We must agree to disagree on this and i ll keep putting on pressure until he is kicked off the NHS contracts, his money returned and he is punished to send a clear message.

Otherwise , this years doorknocking will be even more dangerous for me as a black woman.

missjekyll:
The whole point is that he hasnt changed his views. He still actively holds them or he would have said so in his statement .

That is not an okay view to hold. QED.

missjekyll:
Boris Johnson has made islamophobic, racist comments in the past.

Does that justify saying he should be shot?

Whatever she may or may not have said in the past, that awful man was wrong and should be punished for it to send a message that thats not okay.

There is almost unanimous agreement that mr toupee was racist, i am interested in hearing your argument for the contrary? ( apart from that she had made racist statements in the past which is up for debate)

kwakudtraveller:
She said people should be shot or she made a remark about hating a whole race of women who are already facing prejudice? And I should spend time googling what she has said in the past to justify what a racist white man said?

kwakudtraveller:
To be pulling? Racist remarks were directed at her and every black woman out there. Nothing justifies what was said about her.

deept:
This is just one case amongst the hundreds possibly happening around the country. Deserves to be given as much publicity and attention as the Dianne Abbot racism thing going on right now.

Racism in the UK is getting worse everyday.

A black child was racially abused and beaten up today at St John Henry Newman Catholic School in Carlisle. @CarlislePolice @RishiSunak @BBCBreaking @SkyNews

Are black people not safe in Carlisle?

Pfft....many universities got too greedy and are as much to blame. Some were so lenient in their entry criteria and checks and only started crying out when students started switching to tier 2 as soon as they landed and leaving the universities out of pocket.

Zahra29:
Other industries have been going through rounds of voluntary and compulsory redundancies over the last year, slashing way more jobs than these universities are considering. Examples below.

We keep hearing about universities but the reality is that a lot of companies are struggling , and particularly those that over expanded in a post COVID boom are now adjusting to a slow down in demand. Universities are not unique in this and will have to downsize/become leaner same as other businesses.

adekzy:
But that is after Baba is nowp already established nah.... and the foundational support is already there for you to Enjoy and pay your tutition fully without GFMe compare to most Nigerian students that never had access to student loan/grant since the country has been created in 1960.

Therefore, we can't overlook your headstart in the UK. .... You be priviledge pikin and Mama Charly (RIP) feed you well enough

wallg123:
Why must these people drag Nigeria into this ?
“ Northumbria University said the cuts were necessary because of “a sudden reduction of the number of students” arriving in the UK from Nigeria, where the currency has collapsed against the pound.” Copied from the independent

Congratulations to hustla on your distinction and Msc completion. All the best with the job search.

@lexus seems you no pay tithe to the community oo and cost of living crisis no make people see road. Transfer of aggression just dey happen anyhow.

Please keep up the good work and banter. Most times I wonder how you do it being consistent on NL over the years.

Thank God I was here to read up sha before justwise comes to clean up and funny to read the irony from the statement/previous post of most of the accusers.

Hkana:
After all said and done, the bottom line is, the cause of all the unnecessary outbursts could only have been a lack of comprehension and really low emotional intelligence.

I want both abeg😀

LaXxOnebody:
I had cause to meet the previous occupant of the house I'm renting and her prophecy has been fulfilled.

She said landlord would keep increasing rent every year and I even rented at a premium. I've had to haggle and settle at an uncomplimentary amount.

It is however extra motivation to convert my rent payments to equity payments.

rowon:
Good afternoon all. Please kindly advised. My wife was accused sleeping on duty where she works as a relief support worker in Scotland by an agency staff. She just Cos with another company recently. She has been suspended where she does relief support work and would be invited for disciplinary committee. She told me she was surprised the agency staff could do such because that very day the agency requested she wanted to leave 15 minutes earlier closing time because she lost someone . She gladly accepted .
Please kindly advise on how defend herself at the disciplinary committee so her license would not revoked if reported to the regulatory body (SSSC) and eventually the main employer will withdraw their COS . PLEASE WE NEED YOUR ADVICE!

wonlasewonimi:
Bro, you don buy market from these people
You're getting Peter Obi treatment

Treadway:
as in ehn. Similar thing happened with Lagosismyhome on the Health and care visa thread/ student thread last year or two years ago. Commonsense and logic gets thrown outta the window. And people (some) not only forget but try to rubbish all the immense contribution wey person don make. It's just plain ol personal beef and envy.

Have I disagreed with some of your opinions here. Yes! And I stated that

Have I agreed with most of your opinions here. YES!

Does agreeing or disagreeing on a point of view add or remove anything from me or you. NO!

Na just personal beef dey play out here. There is no case.

Mamatukwas:
I’ve never really appreciated your coconut head until today. Thank God for it! Everyone will be alright las las.
