New Shadow Cabinet: "Overwhelmingly Straight"


In the Torygraph today, old Tory toady Toby "Toady" Young notes - with just the slightest hint of irony; 'The new Shadow Cabinet: overwhelmingly white, privileged and heterosexual'
"Sexual diversity? Admittedly, Labour scores a single point here – Angela Eagle is a lesbian – but no homosexual men were elected. Indeed, two of the Party’s most prominent homosexuals – Chris Bryant and Ben Bradshaw – were both surprise losers.
"So much for the party of inclusion. If you’re a gay man or a man or woman of African-Caribbean origin there’s no room for you at the top of the modern Labour Party. On the contrary, your best bet of getting ahead is if you’re a white heterosexual who was privately educated and went on to study PPE at Oxford."
The little minx!

  1. Lol, this is just like what's happening with the Democrats here in the US! Well, not exactly -- the Democrats do have black and gay people at the top (like our president). But they keep screwing the gays, Latinos, and blacks over, again and again. And yet all the oppressed of the world keep voting Democrat.

    Nothing will change unless you suck it up and vote conservative, you know. Winky wink. http://colorfulconservative.blogspot.com/2010/10/dems-hunt-for-october-surprise-gay.html
