Sorry I forgot about her Dewsburyness.
Maybe it's time Camoron made the post of Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury a cabinet position? Then he could have Priti (I really, really mean that) Patel at the table. Patel may not tick as many boxes but she is non-white and female. She is also as thick as Warsi, so should fit in nicely

The Baroness may not have been the sharpest tool in the box but her resignation letter said what we all knew - the remaining members of cabinet post-reshuffle haven't got a clue what they are doing. I hope she puts the boot in in the lead up to the election with a serialisation of her diaries in the Express or the Mail!

What ultimately made me puke was Cameron's letter "to Warsi" pointing out - as if she didn't know - that she was the "first Muslim woman" in Cabinet. Camoron trying to score political brownie points even in a supposedly personal letter.

So, now that those Islamic State nutjobs have taken hold of 3 towns in Iraq that have/had significant Christian population, i do hope we will hear from numerous leading Muslims/casual ''News Gazans'' on how they should not waltz in and butcher the sh*t out of Christians who refuse to convert to Islam or refuse to leave. However, i'm quite fond of living, so i won't be holding my breath just now.

Right to get rid of a vicious dictator.
Wrong to do it in such a stupid, pig-headed, arrogant, uncomprehending, typically American way with no plan for the aftermath, ensuing power vacuum and tribal/religious differences, and not be prepared to stay there for the next 20 years.

Nearly twenty year since Srebrenica, if we hold out we might just show ourselves as equally compassionate.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
