Everything is Going Down

The token female wog from Daveybloke's long-departed Cuddly Conservative days has provoked much trembling of jowls and wagging of dewlaps thanks to speculation that she may be working on a memoir. Sayeeda Warsi was co-chair of the Conservative Party (Lord Feldman, a white male chum of Britain's Head Boy, took care of the important bits), before suffering the humiliation of being replaced by Michael Green. Apparently Warsi, who is now minister of state for "Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, faith and the UN" and whatever other wog-stuff the coalition doesn't really care about, has taken to scribbling in cabinet meetings, much to the surprise of uncharitable persons such as myself who would never have thought she could manage joined-up writing. Nobody has told her to take minutes, so there is concern that Warsi may be making notes towards an embarrassing exposé of the Bullingdon Club and its chums. For his own part, Michael Green has proved just as loud-mouthed, thick-headed and incompetent as Warsi ever was, but nevertheless retains his cardinal virtue of being a white male wideboy whose presence doesn't cause too much discomfort among the chimpanzees on the back benches.
