Comments on: Mammy! http://www.ministryoftruth.org.uk/2006/12/07/mammy/ Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

First the Cross of St George is hoisted by that great patriot Billy Bragg, next Gordon Brown wraps his mighty bulk in the Union Flag - and now the Black and White Minstrels (pbut) are rehabilitated. They'll be bringing back National Service and the Gold Standard next. Keep up the good work. It’s good to see New Labour reclaiming the icons of working class British culture from the far right.

Indeed, in drawing parallels between experiences of impoverishment, class, and race, I think that it is exceptionally well-founded. Of course, on that level, it could just as well have been done with Tony Blair. I didn’t find this especially funny, but nor do I find it especially offensive.

Equality means treating people equally. Why is that so hard for Cameron to understand?

Well done! Might I suggest however that taking up crochet might be a more productive way of spending your time...especially with Christmas coming up and all. This kind of offering is going to put you in a verrrrrrrrrry bad light with Santa who will definitely feel that you have been very naughty and not at all nice! I have recently left the Labour Party and crossed over to The Other Side, mainly in part to what I saw as a superfluous amount of this sort of juvenile witticisms. This is supposed to be satire? This is supposed to be clever? Oh dearey me. Yes it made me think alright. It made me think "Thank God I am with the grownups now".....Oh and by the way I am black, female with a bit of Jewish blood running through my veins. And 'some of my best Tory friends are gay' --- so if you are going to attempt to be so clever, at least try to get more of your facts right.
