Right Whinge Beauty Pagent

I note that the Beauty Pagent to be leader of the skeleton of the once grand Tory Party is almost upon us. I find this worse than picking a life partner from an Alabama Red neck family gathering where the number of teeth amongst the fine fillies on offer is significantly less than the total of their fingers and toes (mid-20s)

In the Blue corner we have Tom Tugentwat. Remoaner. Supporter of May's Brexit Deal. Previous failed leadership bids, so has already proved himself less popular than a lettuce.

In the even bluer corner we have James not-so-Cleverly. Held leading roles in much of the past 14 years, so has plenty of blood on his hands. All for locking migrants up whilst waiting to be processed - as long as it wasnt in his constituency, so hypocritical.

In the deep blue corner, we have Kemi Badenoch. Very anti immigration. Born in the UK to Nigerian parents in 1980 but quickly returned to Nigeria and spent her childhood over there, only to return to the UK when it got a bit hairy over there and she suddenly remembered her Britishness. One wonders where she would be if the Tory party of the 1980s had taken the same stance on immigration that she wants to take with people from abroad coming over, popping out a kid and then buggering off home, but retaining British status. Oh, and she got beaten by the lettuce too.

Then in the so blue its almost black corner we have Backhand Bob Jenrick. All round creep. Double lockdown breaker. Every time I see him I think of a slug - all slimy and untouchable. Taker of money from companies with no employees.

So come on you blue rinse brigade - which of these upstanding citizens do you fancy cheering on for the next 5 years at the annual gathering for their party conference at some modest establishment with a capacity of less than 200?

Conflix

After 14 years, Chaos & Decline was cancelled by the British people. Beware the spin-off.

The first thing that the Tory MP who announced the results did was point out she was a woman and a black one at that. Not a good start for someone who despises Identity politics to have one of her own highlighting two things that are a core part of identity politics.

You're right, it shouldn't matter in this day and age and it shouldn't be something that needs to be pointed out to satisfy a box ticking philosophy. As Badenoch rightly pointed out, (paraphrased) "I think that the best thing will be when we get to a point where the colour of your skin is no more remarkable than the colour of your eyes or the colour of your hair." Well said Kemi!

When it comes to identity politics, Rachel Reeves on the other hand has been broadcasting from the rooftops that she is a woman! Apart from this being entirely obvious to everyone who lives in the sane world, it must be causing chaos and confusion at labour HQ as so far, labour has consistently struggled to define what a woman is.


I wonder what people's opinions are on the absolutely disgraceful re-tweet made by Dawn Butler accusing Kemi Badenoch of representing 'white supremacy in blackface'?

Why hasn't Butler had the whip removed yet?

Morgan Freeman sums it up nicely for me, want to end racism? Stop talking about it.

She hasnt voted against the Govt on a whipped vote - thus far.

Dawn Butler is one of the few remaining bad smells of the Corbyn era that dont represent Starmer's Labour. She was a shadow minister under Corbyn, but has been nowhere near the shadow front bench since he was replaced and now just rants from the back benches. She'll have the whip removed at some point - hopefully still removed by the time the next GE comes round.

She is the Queen of identity politics for black issues, just as Zahra Sultana is the Queen of identity politics for muslims. Butler is very quiet on black knife-carrying gangs marauding round our cities. Sultana says nothing on Iranian and Taliban oppression on women but is very vocal on Israel's war with the Iranian-backed terrorists.
