Yesterday, the SKWAWKBOX reported a threatening and arguably racist comment about Diane Abbott had been made on Facebook by a Labour member, Andy Bigham – another example of the reality of abuse as a right-wing phenomenon in spite of attempts by the Establishment media and Labour right to portray it as a left-wing problem.
Bigham later edited his post, but Facebook’s editing history feature means that the original is not really hidden:
Labour sources have told the SKWAWKBOX that the party has been swamped by complaints about Bigham’s post – and that he has today been suspended pending investigation.

Presumably it won’t be long before this suspension becomes the expulsion it should be.
His days are numbered thankfully.
Good news.
Thank goodness for that. I was part of that thread and was one of those who reported his despicable comments.
I notice an Andy Bigham from Dudley signed a petition that seems to follow Godwin’s rule of Hitler analogies. Worth a read, even though it only got 25 votes:
https://www.change.org/p/labour-party-we-the-undersigned-condemn-jeremy-corbyn-s-irresponsible-undermining-of-the-free-press
“We, the undersigned, condemn Jeremy Corbyn’s irresponsible undermining of the free press.”
About time too.
Andy Bigham’s highly offensive comment in which he incites acts of physical violence against Diane Abbott warrants expulsion from the party.
I expect the Labour Party to act swiftly on this matter. This type of behaviour is not unacceptable and has no place in the Labour Party.
I feel very proud of Diane, the way she holds her head up high and carries on supporting Jeremy and the Labour Party, despite all of the vile abuse she has to contend with. I also feel very sorry for her as no-one should have to go through this. I wish I could shake her hand and thank her for all she does, and also give her a big hug and tell her to ignore the Blairite scum who are inflicting this on her.
Totally agree with your sentiments lilac ,what was it jess Phillips said to Diane …something about Fuck Off wasn’t it ….well perhaps Phillips will also get disciplined accordingly one hopes.
Are you not allowed to disagree with DA now?
He had some posts claiming he was a prospective Labour Councillor in his area. I seriously hope that’s untrue. He’s an appalling rightwinger who has been banned from numerous forums for constant attacks on Corbyn – on the man, not the policies. (If I remember rightly one theme of the attacks was that Corbyn might have had an affair with a black woman… Abbott.)
So very glad this fcuk has been suspended. I can only fervently hope that this is followed by his expulsion….soon.
He was a stain on the Labour Party and more importantly mankind.
Deborah Lowe needs to join him ,She’s Bigham side kick and a nasty divisive woman…some of her posts on Facebook are disgusting
He has made comments like this for along time he has bullied other labour party members including myself with suspicious tory accounts Michael Walker and Chris Macfarlane. He has numerous right wing friends from the conseverative party very questionable.
He has posted these sort of things in British politics, heart of british politics and cross politics. An he has other tories gang up on labour party members.
