However, when pressed, she was unable to identify them.
PLAYS RACE CARD
DuRinG a 2012 TV debate on racism, tweeted: ‘White people love playing “divide and rule”. We should not play their game.’ accused of anti-white racism, claimed she was referring to historic behaviour of white people during the days of the british empire. FOLLOWING the Brexit vote, suggested on Question Time that
Leave voters were racists who wanted ‘to see less foreign-looking people on their streets’ and told a meeting at the Labour conference that they had ‘added another turn of the screw to rising racism’. PREVIoUsly took a diametrically opposed view of the EU, arguing in 1993 that Europhiles were racist because their proposed Maastricht treaty ‘undermines civil rights of black Britons’ and was a product of ‘rising Nazism and racism across Europe’. The reason? she thought, utterly wrongly, that the treaty would reduce immigration. sPEaKING at a conference in the U.s. in 1988 claimed that Britain ‘invented racism’ and called Parliament ‘the heart of darkness, in the belly of the beast’.
IRA SUPPORT

IN THE same interview stated: ‘Though I was born here in London, I couldn’t identify as British’ and criticised Ulster as ‘an enclave of white supremacist ideologies’. Asked about the remarks recently, claimed to have moved on since the Eighties: ‘I don’t have the same hairstyle, I don’t have the same views.’
‘MAO DID GOOD’
ClaIMED on a 2015 edition of BBC show This Week that ‘on balance, Chairman Mao did more good than harm . . . he led his country from feudalism’. Then laughed when it was pointed out that at least 45 million people were worked, starved, or beaten to death because of China’s Communist dictator.
ABOLISH MI5
sIGNED an Early Day Motion in 1989 calling for ‘the abolition of conspiratorial groups like MI5 and special Branch which are not accountable to the British people’. Four years earlier, dubbed the Home office ‘a fundamentally racist organisation’. If labour wins, she could be its boss.
