Do Labour's Black Fillies Have a Facial Diversity Problem?

"Three leading British media outlets" or, in Standard English, two Conservative Party outlets and Getty Images, have misidentified pictures of Labour MPs, all of whom just happen to be black and female: the BBC misnamed a backbencher, apparently because a front-bencher looked very similar, and the London Evening Osborne used a picture of a third MP in reporting on the BBC's error. The sniggering schoolboy's free-sheet blamed Getty Images for captioning the picture wrongly, since the London Evening Osborne editorial staff does not include any ex-parliamentarians with facial recognition abilities that extend beyond the glistening pink dough of the standard Conservative gluteus magniloquens. Even in a country where Boris Johnson can make a bit of pocket-money as a journalist, it seems the free, fair and cantankerous media are not as good with the female coloureds as one might hope.
