Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

Said allowing the Brexit referendum to stand is 'as bad as Zimbabwe'

born in Kampala so must remember Idi. Yet prefers to nominate Zimbabwe. She must think Idi was preferable to the nutcase

She is one horrible C....

She even tried to educate an Ruth Lea economist on Trade Agreements eg Canada and Norway with The EU. She's well known for her constant political argy-bargy with Andrew Neil whenever they shared the same table on tv.

Bossy and arrogant.

Listening to this woman who has an option of living in another country why doesn't she if she hates this one so much.

She'd not survive a summer let alone years in her native country. I think she craves attention and superiority.

probably doesn't fancy a mud hut in Uganda

born in Kampala


And yet over here.

put her and alister campbell in a locked room and wait a zillion years to see who gets the last word,

Someone of obvious limited intelligence with an incredibly self important opinion who is given airtime far over their worth due to  a box ticking exercise.

Am I close?

Describes herself as a feminist AND a Muslim.

Sometimes very late at night I switch to bbc 1 and I'm sure she is part of the box ticking, and I cant decide if going to bed, suicide, or punching the TV is the better option......

Horrible woman, she's the perfect image of everything that has gone wrong with this country.

although agree with everything said the so called economists  reading of how wto rules play out in practice was for the birds, heard dominc raahb on sky this morning only found out what dover was for last week and is now diverting ,lorries,ferries to zubruuge etc

no one no,s =how this plays out, but one thing that's absolutely certain is this government. civil service cant manage a no deal Brexit,they cant manage a system for eu people to apply for uk status over a period of 2 years, 50 years for a decision on heathrow,cross rail years delayed, 6 flakes  of snow and the country comes to a standstill

man city running riot over brum and no market on here   - these are the important things in life - making money !!!!

when we are allowed back into the eu  our masters will ban on line betting as punishment and finish us off ho ho!!!

WSL

Not even the left came on here to defend this despicable woman

YAB is a narcissist; Germaine Greer would have eaten her for breakfast (metaphorically)!

Hang on what's this:

In the New Year Honours 2001, Alibhai-Brown was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) "for services to journalism".[19] In 2003 Benjamin Zephaniah's public refusal of an OBE inspired her to return the award. She wrote that her decision had been made partly in a growing spirit of republicanism and partly in protest at the Labour government, particularly its conduct of the war in Iraq,[20] and has since criticised the British honours system as "beyond repair".[21]

Not all bad then.

More here:

In May 2011, Alibhai-Brown wrote in The Independent that Muslims and others should stop focusing solely on the wrongdoings of Israel, saying that "We Muslims need to accept our burdens too." She also said that, "It is no longer morally justifiable for activists to target only Israel and either ignore or find excuses for corrupt, murderous Arab despots. That kind of selectivity discredits pro-Palestinian campaigners and dishonours the principles of equality and human rights."[22] Brown previously condemned ethnic minority campaigners against racism failing to mention white victims of racially motivated crimes, suggesting they were guilty of double standards. Highlighting cases such as the murder of Ross Parker, Alibhai-Brown wrote: "Our values are worthless unless all victims of these senseless deaths matter equally", adding "to treat some victims as more worthy of condemnation than others is unforgivable and a betrayal of anti-racism itself".[23][24]

She's not totally without sense; just too intransigent and obstinate (sometimes) to views deferring to hers eg Brexit - missing the point of the result and objective of the wish of the majority of the British people.

As for returning the MBE was the award justified? Was it politically motivated? There are many journalists doing the same job less (vocally) and professionally. Also, returning the award tends to attract more attention to the recipient, attention seeking to the end (perhaps).

She's on again (now) on BBC Dateline a political chat programme about news during the week'tired of her condescending and narcissistic views.

must have a bed at broadcasting house, she was on yesterday as well

They get a few hundred for every appearance, flabbott loved it in her prime.

Did she have a prime ? Oh do please refresh my memory

Vile woman.Makes Kay Burley look like Mother Theresa.

Abbott got £800 every time she was on Andrew Neil's show.plus of course taxi home.

£800 for Abbott per appearance, were the BBC desperate? I'd not offer her more than £50 plus transport.

Horrible little woman completely devoid of common sense.

£800 for Abbott per appearance

Would have cost them more to hire a career comedian , so money saved imo

We are probably one of the few countries in the world stupid enough to offer someone asylum and then allow them to use the pages of various Fifth Columnist newspapers to have a decades-long snipe-off at our mores.

They did.

£800? £50?

That'll be those number thingumyjiggers.

I think she settled for eleventeen

Some of these types have more chips on their shoulder than a careless fryer at Harry Ramsdens!

She's had a proper go at the snowflakes in today's i column, anyone read it?

link?

No link and no scan until I work out why scanner is fooked in tomorrow morning

Anyway she has a bit of a dig at Jordan Peeterson.

I'll put it on that latest why quit drinking thread as well, why I can't work out why my scanner isn't working.

Very true title, they are outrage merchants in the same way as the SJWs they hate

Why does she get so much air time I wonder.
If I'm up late at the weekend, she often seems to be on that late night "4 or 5 remoaner lefties sit around and chat" show on the BBC.
Given she's an idiot, I presume it's for box ticking reasons (which seems to be the primary criteria for the panel or anyone invited on the BBC these days)?

Peterson.. I see the "no platforming of opposite views" marxist lefties at Cambridge have stopped Jordan Peterson from doing some teaching there, and a few days later announced a total waste of time and effort in a display of virtue signalling nonsense via an investigation into irrelevant links 100s of years ago into the slave trade. For the love of mojito. Things like that are such an obvious waste of -ing time money and effort to rational practical normal people, it is one reason rational practical people hold SJWs in contempt, and never become them. Do you remember when we used to respect such univerities and they were places where more than one viewpoint was allowed, indeed it was encouraged?

obviously they don't have the same prestige as the ones in Uganda

Good on them for not enabling Kermit's grift imo

He got exposed when he faced an actual academic, even one as kooky as Zizek
