The myth of intersectional politics

A few years ago I mentioned the profusion of moaning women on BBC Radio 4, after a longish car journey during which the station had broadcast pretty much nothing but moaning women over six and a half hours. I am glad to say that the proportion of moaning women has subsequently reduced to about 65 per cent of the station’s output, the rest of it now being taken up with infuriated and horribly subjugated black people.

Watching the scales fall from the eyes of these idiots is something quite delicious to behold

When I unwisely turned on the radio this afternoon it was to hear a young black lady tell her little brother: ‘They may be beating us, killing us, but that is no reason to give up’, before her father bemoaned ‘this godforsaken country’. The country she was talking about was not the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti or Somalia, but the United Kingdom, of course.
