No she hasn’t she has said it is racism but there may be a difference in the possible experience

Not what she said the first time. I think for an experienced politician she phrased it very clumsily. "They are not all their lives subject to racism."

In the letter, she wrote that Irish, Jewish and Traveller people "undoubtedly experience prejudice" that is "similar to racism".

She added: "It is true that many types of white people with points of difference, such as redheads, can experience this prejudice. But they are not all their lives subject to racism."

Abbott was quick to withdraw the remarks, which were heavily criticised by Jewish and Traveller groups, and apologised "for any anguish caused"

So she should be vilified and Nigel Farage should be welcomed on TV - you know this about who she is not her opinions
