Sayeeda Warsi: Morally Reprehensible

Whilst welcoming today's technically impossible resignation of the unelected life peer and made-up 'Minister for Faith and Communities', Baroness Warsi, as it draws attention to David Cameron and the Conservative Party's shameful quietude and acquiescence over Israel's recent acts of genocide and infanticide in Gaza - and whilst acknowledging that even a politician as spectacularly loathsome, odious and reprehensible as this attention-seeking self-delusional careerist loonbag may occasionally get something right, and, further, that we must resist gayist-thinking that tries to reduce everyone down to how they feel about The Gays (yet nor should we let someone being right about one thing let us overlook all their other crimes viz. Pinkwashing) - Fagburn hopes people will bear (bare?) in mind that this scary right-wing bigot has shown herself in the past to be literally incapable of acting on principle and so there's almost certainly something else behind this, like the fact she was pissed off about not being promoted in the last cabinet reshuffle, and then her being banned from cabinet meetings, and she was about to be sacked anyway.

Good day.

Politician driven by ego shocker!
Thanks for pointing this out.

  1. Trouble is, even usually deplorable people can sometimes act on principle. 'Tis all messy. What is predictable is the attempt to rubbish her: oh, no, it couldn't be principle, oh, no, it has to be spite/ambition/attention-seeking/egotism/egoism/some other grim form of self-seeking.

    *Has* to be, dunnit?

    1. Yeah. No, Yes. I read what I expected you to say, not what you said. A lesson to us all. Sorry.
