Poor Woman

'I am a black woman in a white court, facing a white system and white prosecutors.

'I have been deliberately targeted because I am vulnerable.'

'I know first-hand the sexism and racism institutions and media use to vilify black women.'

She does nothing for race relations with that comment. Things not going her way, play the race card. Just gets people's backs up.

Her "alleged" crime gets my back up.

[ladybirder]

Yes APG, please may she get a black judge.

Black people must feel so proud of her.

[emmie]

what an appalling woman, i hope she is shown the door, of a cell............

[royfromaus]

Nothing alleged about her crimes, choux...she's guilty.

[AuntPG]

Roy, not in this country, innocent until proved guilty.

Following the guilty verdict and a warning from the judge that she could face a prison sentence, Labour called for Webbe to quit her seat, which would trigger a byelection. Webbe protested her innocence and made clear that she planned to continue as an MP.

Reading the comments on the DM thread, I see someone has written, "Not the first time this individual has tried to cover for her bad behaviour by accusing people of discrimination towards her."
Does anyone know what that is about, or even IF it's true?

//Every time I see that woman I now think of poor Katie Piper. //

I really admire Katie - she must have been through hell but comes across really positive in the hair adverts she does & she's still beautiful!

//She's a black woman in an English court.//

And is being treated exactly like anyone else, no special treatment because of her being 'of colour', that lack of special treatment is apparently 'racist', she insults the vast majority of black people who don't break the law. Her next card will probably be mental health.

Sorry roy, you are correct, but I tend to default to "alleged" in AB ;)

ladybirder, we cannot include all black people. I am sure there are many decent people, irrespective of their colour, who will be abhorred by Webbe's words and actions, as am I.

Choux, // ladybirder, we cannot include all black people. I am sure there are many decent people, irrespective of their colour, who will be abhorred by Webbe's words and actions, as am I. \\
And as am I Choux, I was being sarcastic. Sorry that wasn't clear.

[youngmafbog]

She is just using it to try and get off.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of Black people will be disgusted with her.

Your post is rather cryptic. If there is racism report it.
