The problem with Dawn Butler

We hear a lot about white supremacy these days. But for some reason we rarely hear about black supremacy. I wonder why? There’s a lot more of it around.

While it is vanishingly difficult to find an overt white supremacist in British public life, it is extremely easy to identify their black counterparts.

As exhibit A I would present the Labour MP Dawn Butler. I have written about her once before, in 2020, when Ms Butler was in a car that was stopped by police. At the time I speculated that the coppers may have pulled the vehicle over in the hope of reclaiming the whirlpool bath that Butler had treated herself to at taxpayers’ expense a few years before. But it was not to be. The incident simply gave Butler the chance to tour the television studios claiming, with great originality, that the British police are ‘institutionally racist’.
