Re: Diane Abbott apologises in 'race' row
Mind you, in a way she's actually correct. The British Empire in common with just about every other empire did use a divide and rule policy to keep the different tribes warring between themselves rather than gang up on their rulers. It's as old as Empire and has always worked rather well.
