1. because Black people were not your colonial masters (so how can we play divide and rule)
Irrelevant. Cause enough argument in the ranks of your opponents, you can "divide" them and "rule" the divided parts. This is what divide and rule is about. Any thing that occurred in the past will not necessarily affect that, so is not relevant.

2. If you read all the tweets in context - ummm ummmm her arguments were just poor.
They were, but there have been instances where people were fired for less.

Unless she just wanted people talking. She posted those comments, and whether you read them in context or not, she knows that there are areas of the media that would publish them out of context.

I may not necessarily agree with all her views, but I don't think Diane Abbot is stupid.
