After first entering Parliament back in 2005, the black female Labour Party MP and indefatigable champion of homosexual giraffes Dawn Butler says she was mistaken for one of the House of Commons cleaning staff, something she naturally put down to institutional racism on behalf of those concerned. Obviously, this error was indeed highly offensive – to the building’s cleaners. Such poorly-paid and oft put-upon persons perform an excellent and vital service, wiping up other people’s mess for them, without which our democracy could never truly function. Dawn Butler, on the other hand, provides precisely the reverse service to the electorate, creating piles and piles of needless mess for other people to wipe up for her, then expecting to be sycophantically praised for the fact, just because she skilfully arranged with God to have been born both black and female.
Disturbingly, her self-entitled expectations are often met: in 2021, she received an honorary Blue Plaque (why not a Black one?) bearing her name above a former home-run bakery in London’s Waltham Forest area, within which Dawn worked as a child, under the watchful eye of its owner, her dad (“a great man”, apparently, albeit probably not in the true sense once meant by Thomas Carlyle). People normally have to wait until they are dead to receive a Blue Plaque, so my first thought was that perhaps this award was made to her on the basis of wishful thinking upon behalf of the awards committee, but in fact it resulted from a competition run by the council in which residents were asked to nominate a “local hero”, Red Dawn apparently being the best they could come up with.
