Talk:Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

colourful, but where did this come from/

known as ‘Yes man — alibi I’m brown’ or the ‘Yazzmonster’

can this section be changed? the para below is speculative. the point about the London think tanks could be better made I think, and I'm not sure the racism stuff belongs here - any views?

But the Scottish trip (did it even take place?) was on the pitiful pretext that she is immune from racism and the Scots are a lesser species. Here she joins a collective of people (associated with Demos, IPPR and the FPC and so forth) occasionally sent up to Scotland who are paid by the government (in some shady and roundabout manner) to run what is fundamentally a propagandistic psychological operation. Yasmin shows her own true colours and usefulness to the Home Office line in the ‘Global Britons’ stunt: a white person saying what she does would be laughed to scorn. Only uselessly lenient political correctness and a timid fear of being labelled racist protects her from more trenchant criticism. This report also states that Brown opposes ‘nationalism of any form’ — which lacks all subtlety and insight: so Nicaragua should have caved into to the US in the 80s because the idea of the nation of Nicaragua is predicated on anti-US racism?
