This is your fault, Alan Johnson

Thanks to Alan Johnson's failure to beat Harriet Harman for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party, we are stuck with Mrs Dromey wielding power over us mere mortals - and, as Kevin Keegan might say, she's loving it.

Ms Harridan is said to be considering proposals that will allow employers to discriminate in favour of women, ethnic minorities and the disabled and therefore against white, able-bodied men - even if the latter is better qualified for a job.

For how much longer are we to be cursed with the scourge of political correctness?

If we live in a society governed by the rule of law and which is truly, for example, colour blind then why do we still tolerate the pernicious creed of cultural apartheid, more commonly known as multiculturalism. Martin Luther King was right when he said that he longed for the day when people would be judged for the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin.

Yet again Hattie Harman has shown herself to be a divisive figure obsessed by her hatred of white, heterosexual middle-class men. And thanks to Alan Johnson's inept deputy leadership campaign, we're stuck with her until someone has the cojones to challenge her this summer...
