The Fall of Diane Abbott

 
Gather round, dear readers, and hear the news! They say karma is a bitch, but sometimes she's a darling. It looks like she is about to deliver some thoroughly deserved comeuppance to the most obnoxious person in British politics. Diane Abbott was elected to the House of Commons in 1987 and was the "First! Black! Woman!" MP, and she has never let anybody forget it. Every time she is interviewed she simply has to say: "I'm a black woman!", as if we're all blind amnesiacs! Did you know Diane Abbott was not a skinny bearded Chinese man? Yup, it surprised me too. Actually, she has not done an interview for a long time. Corbyn and Starmer wouldn't let her because every time she opens her mouth she costs Labour a hundred thousand votes. Unfortunately she is not somebody you can just sack; partly for the obvious reason, but also because she has a lot of dirt on many of her colleagues, including Jeremy Corbyn whom she had an affair with in the early 80's. (I'd have credited him with better taste.) Despite the fact she is grossly unqualified, Abbott has achieved the high offices of Shadow Health Secretary, Home Secretary, Public Health Minister and International Development Secretary. The last one worries me the most; at least before, her incompetence and narcissism was limited to one country. Anyway, she has finally got herself into enough trouble that it might ruin her. I actually think much of the shadow cabinet have been longing for an opportunity to get rid of her, but this was previously impossible because she used to save her abuse solely for white people; and, as you know, blonde blue-eyed Finnish nurses are fair game. Not any more. She recently wrote a letter about racism... yes, another one... in which she stated that Jews do not experience racism as much as black people. She immediately had the whip removed and now faces a party board of inquiry. A few pundits have suggested the sixty-nine year old should retire. Believe me, millions of people across the land have been begging her to do so for years. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65365978.
 
The irony is so sweet it is almost unbearable. Diane Abbott has made racism the cornerstone of a very long and lucrative career. She has suckled and gorged on it for her whole adult life; and now it has suddenly turned sour on her own lips. Of course, I know why she did it; the Victimhood Olympics. She is used to getting the biggest slice of that lovely cheesecake every single day and resents some upstart Red Sea pedestrian pushing in front of her and snatching it from her plate. This was bound to happen eventually. Abbott has all the social awareness and self-discipline of a hermit princess. She just blurts out whatever she is thinking, or trying to think. She has withdrawn the comment and apologized, but that will not be enough. Keir Starmer and has condemned her, as have all the senior figures in the Jewish community. I don't know if this will be the complete end for her career, but we can live in hope. She may be able to survive as an independent back-bench MP. Personally, I'd like her to remain in politics just long enough to see Kemi Badenoch become prime minister, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/07/kemi-for-pm.html. After that she can live out her retirement reflecting on her failures for which she only has herself to blame.

Sturgeon/SNP, Diane Abbott... maybe Mark Drakeford is next!

That would be a hat-trick! Three of my least favourite politicians out of their arses!

Great article, Ben! Had me laughing out loud in parts!! Funnily enough, I heard about this on UKColumn and it did make me think of you as I recall you talking about her in the past.

Will Kemi Badenoch run for leader / Prime Minister again? She had some good view points, if I remember correctly.

Thanks, GT. Glad you enjoyed it.
KB is extremely anti-establishment, really just like Trump. At the moment Sunak is dragging his stewardship as long as he can, but hopefully things will change.
