Better Late Than Never?
When I asked why ethnic minority women were not being sent their Labour Leadership ballot papers, I received (and this is saying quite something) the most vicious attempted comments that this blog has ever refused to put up. But those papers have now been sent and received. So, will they be counted?
All I can say is thank God that these poor women have you valiantly blogging on their behalf. Had you let this pass, who knows what injustice may have been perpetrated.
ReplyDeleteAnd may yet be, I'm told.
ReplyDeleteFurther utterly hysterical comments. I have touched a very, very raw nerve indeed with this one.
Keep up the good work, David. Others may mock, but you and you alone stand in the way of the 21st century's greatest electoral crime. Don't weaken now!
ReplyDeleteOh, if it's the greatest electoral crime of the twenty-first century that you want, then watch this space...
ReplyDeleteWait - you're planning electoral crime yourself? I have to say this quite undoes my good impression of you. And the fact that you would openly boast of it - I don't know what to think.
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm about to post on something in that vein. Come back in half an hour or so.
ReplyDeleteI know of a case of this.
