British police are investigating allegations of possibly racist comments made by the largest donor to the UK's Conservative party about Black lawmaker Diane Abbott. The comments, reportedly made four years ago, have sparked controversy, with critics labeling the investigation as costly and pointless, given the Metropolitan Police's backlog of unsolved crimes. Some commentators have criticized the investigation as a waste of resources, pointing out the donor's previous apology for the remarks and highlighting other serious issues, such as calls for blasphemy murder by an Islamist group, that they believe should take precedence.
The police will investigate a Tory donor for comments he’s made about Diane Abbott but won’t look into an Islamist group calling for blasphemy murder in Britain. Why are we so weak in the face of such evil spreading throughout our country? https://t.co/cLYOWF4e2m
Haven’t the Met Police a list longer than War and Peace of unsolved crimes to be getting on with? Why do comments made five years ago need to be investigated? Will each of the racist comments Diane Abbott has made over the years now be investigated too? What a waste of time! https://t.co/LB1mGtSYr2
