It wasn't a vicious campaign, and to those fair-minded objective thinkers, at the heart of it was an anti-racist campaign. It is in the public interest to know why a such a clear and flagrant liar was given such an easy path to academic heights and media fame and fawning. It is in the public interest to know why the police were used to silence scrutiny. Similarly, why lawyers were set upon those who saw inconsistencies and shortcomings. It is in the interest of anyone who has experienced rejection and their academic path has been challenging and stifled to understand why, for some the path was made criminally easy. It is in the interest of those taught by him to understand just how short changed they were by him and by the institutions lauding him. Broadly, it is in the interest of every single person, white and black, to know how they are treated by academic insitutions and to really delve into the scope and impact that the cancer of DEI has had on academia and society, for how long, and how much damage it has done. It is in the interest of the country to demand grown up discussions on the race baiting / victim promoting industries and to use this as a point to call out those who have benefitted from identity politics themselves. Diane Abbot's legacy will not be that of being first black female MP, instead this worthy merit will be overshadowed by her being one of the first and most long standing beneficiaries of a career trajectory, holding positions and prominence that far surpassed her own abilities or intellect. She has done very well telling black people they are the victims of racism, while being prone to be a little on the racist side herself (especially if you're white or jewish and forget about it if you're both). She, and her fellow MP's such as the lobotomised enigma that is David Lammy, have navigated well paid and enduring political careers aimed largely at disenfranchising their fellow black men, women and children, patronising them while demonising whites, the police and all the usual pantomine villains, while residing over some of the most consistently crime ridden areas in the country. They never seem to champion the positive academic contributions from minorities, of which there are many. In fact it would be fair to say, there are only select minorities they seem interested in at all. What we do know for certain is this. If their chosen minorities turn their backs on the patronising, political ideology that is DEI and the fictitious theory of CRT that underpins much of it, they will also turn their backs on the politicians and academics that have made careers out of it. And that won't do. And that is the true reason why her, and others like her, shout so noisily about the injustice and racism at every opportunity - It has been the most lucrative of gigs for them and the only tune they can whistle. And a whistle is exactly what it is. The worst kind of dog whistle.
