Twitter needs to act over racist abuse, says David Lammy

After Mr Lammy received the tweet on Sunday, calling him a"monkey boy", he posted:"Vile racists like you will not silence me. But social media must not be a platform for threats and abuse."

She added:"As I have said before, Twitter must take decisive action against this sort of vile content much faster."

Any chance of being specific Mr Lammy, or your performance on Mastermind?

Perhaps we need some kind of saviour

I have the answer - just close your twitter account. It’s full of hate and bile of all kinds anyway. Here goes mine...

May be if DavidLammy stooped being a racist he is...

It's amazing how many 'people of colour' live or want to live in this racist country ! Anyone got any idea why this is ?

Lammy is probably the biggest racist on twitter!!!!

‘Twitter needs to act over biased media reporting’ says millions of people that are wounding why the f**k they’re paying for a tv license.

Is this abuse similar to the abuse that Trump, Farage and even Johnson get?

I’m no fan of David Lammy, but no one deserves this kind of insult and offence. Good behaviour on twitter needs to be exhibited by people who should know better. Over this weekend I’ve seen senior UK civil servants and military officers tweet abuse. sad

Lammy, always good for a laugh.

All aboard the band wagon...... Slow news day. Always the whites fault.

It's disagraceful. Calling someone a 'monkey boy' is one thing but making threats to hang someone is another thing. This is completely unacceptable. I am all for freedom of speech but using derogatory words and threatening to kill people should be stamped out!

Own goal from DavidLammy. He's the most racist loon on Twitter!

Hypocrite, he himself is a racist baiter online.

The only racist threat to anyone in this scenario is david lammy himself.

Very little sympathy in the replies from people who would have been in lynch mobs back in the day.

He is a complete racist

Except if that racist abuse comes from DavidLammy

well they can start with him then & ol wobble head Abbott

Lammy is one of the biggest hypocritical racists in the HOC. Of course I'm sure Twitter will agree with him and shut down anyone right leaning while allowing the likes of himself to keep on agitating.

Totally agree but Lammy himself is an anti white race baiter.

That's rich Lammy you are racist.

So I'm guessing no 36 hours of boycotting twitter for anyone then🤷🏾‍♀️ DARK SKIN IS NOT A CRIME!!

Start with Lammy then. Loves to be racist and divisive himself.

It’s funny that DavidLammy is complaining about racist abuse when he is one of the biggest race hatred inciters on twitter! He is reaping what he sows, but doesn’t like it when the tables are turned

That's ironic coming from a race baiter

The BBC is unable to prevent the WOKE activists within their institution from influencing the production and editorial Output. It is time to end the BBCBias and ScrapTheLicenceFee The BBC should be moved to subscription service.

Agree. DavidLammy is right. Stop the abuse of indigenous white people in Britain by black people. Respect the white population.

Yep I am sick to death of racist abuse to white people

Twitter needs to be held to account for a lot. It's a very real threat to democracies and communities around the world.

The war on Iraq was racist, MrLammy

Lammy earns roughly £ 76,000 per year (approx £1470 a week) as an MP plus superb benefits including a great pension. Plus many outside benefits. ... While mothers with children have to live on £85 per week universal credit. Lammy only cares for one person and that's himself.

When are you going to stop amplifying the racist sun Daily_Express DailyMailUK thetimes and Telegraph ? You keep promoting this right wing, bigoted, filth every day. You should be ashamed of yourselves at the

I worry we have not thought this through!

Jamie_Sense Wow! This really is the pits! I don’t agree with his politics & I sometimes feel that he intentionally stirs up trouble with the language that he uses, but this kind of filth upsets me to see, so I can only imagine how desparately hurtful it must be to him.

Humans have been around for MILLIONS of years, and STILL abuse each other because of a colour. Pathetic!

Yes it does. Go on 'Black Twitter'. Have a read what black people in Britain are saying to each other about white people.

Yes it does need to act

Lets cancel skin colour. Lammy will be on the Dole within a week, literally all he's got. ProfessionalVictim

My nephew got called a white piece of trash cuz he kept winning on cod,the black bloke called him white trash 5 times, so my nephew said well ur black trash then. Guess which one got a ban on psn? Blacks r more racist than white ppl💯

His the biggest baiter of the lot of them! Likes to dish it...

I agree. Deplatform anyone who uses White people in any perjoritive way from now on. Its totally out of hand. If we spoke about any other group the way we do about Whites there would be murder

The same BBC that has strangely been getting its presenters to use the N word over the past couple of months, almost as though it's decided to stoke racial tensions.

Oh ffs, twitter is already famous for banning anyone that dares say anything less than the Simpsons can get away with, what more do ya want?

He’s absolutely right. Twitter should also sanction him occasionally when he indulges in Hate Speech himself.

LABOURleaks

Just waiting for that blue tick walk out. Any minute now because I'm sure their anti-racism isn't selective. Yup.

I thought all the racists have gone over to parler now...

The BBC is an intolerant propagandist that bring racial hate to our tolerant country. Nobody should be racially abusing ANYONE. But honestly Lammy is himself an anti white racist.

Twitter needs to act on politicians. They've been preaching their bullshit excuses for stealing our money and imposing their made-up rules for too long.

'It's Monday, says David Lammy'. Hey, BBC, check the calendar, it's Monday!.

Blocking Lammy would be a good start.

Can't have free speech.

It’s full of anti white narratives just like MSM.

100%, any abuse really. Don't understand why so much unnecessary hate and vitriol goes unchecked.

Lammy can always report a Tweet for policy violation. Police don’t have time to find a stolen iPhone but they’re quick to investigate offensive Tweet?

It's probably a typo, the BBC do it all the time. Guardian - Stormsy pic

Someone should show Lammy how to use the 'Block' function.

Lammy is Chief Race-Baiter, always attributing skin colour to everything.

Unfortunately, currently seems like a tool to amplify racism, not act on it. The amount of right wing trolls I've seen abusing Black Labour MPs on here is staggering.

This should not even be news for the BBC to publish. Twitter and the police should be dealing with this immediately without public attention forcing them to do the right thing.

I agree, he should not be subject to that but being a professional race baiter its going to happen.

A mute or block button would come in handy or the ability to reply to comments telling whoever, whenever where to stick it.
