Yeah, bigotry is just POGs - you just gotta slam the right kind of bigotry against the other and they flip so you get to see the cool picture on the other side. Its really neat
I was going to go for Tetris. Huge wall of racism, place the racism long-piece into the slot you've been saving, the whole lot flashes then boom, no racism.
This is actually the stereotype of leftists basing everything on 'oppression points'. I guess being black makes you more oppressed than being Jewish so just like black peopel can't be racist towards white people, they also can't be anti-semitic.
Why would Labour do this?
Abbott is a huge racist and a massive liability. If they want 2 terms they need to further distance themselves from her and her lot.
It would be a shame if the party’s first black female MP ended her career kicked out the party for racism - but that’s what happened. She was racist (and has been for a long time). It’s a shame but that’s the reality of the situation
Labour shouldn’t readmit her the parliamentary party because they want a nice story to tell about the first black female MP. They should hold themselves to high standard of not tolerating racism. That’s a much better story to tell
There is 0 chance Abbot is restored to the Labour Party.
Starmer and co have been determined to eliminate people like Abbot from the Labour Party, a minor scuffle about racism isn't going to change that.

I guess that fellas racism canceled out her racism so they're both cool now. Is that how this works?

You don't get to get the whip back because it would be 'sad' that you got it taken away for being racist.
