So Warsi has done the right thing acting on her conscience and I entirely support her decision and applaud her for making it.
I just wish it hadn't been her. Or at least not her first.
When Robin Cook walked out over the Iraq war, it couldn't be dismissed in the same way as what will obviously happen here:
* she's a woman and couldn't stomach seeing women and children hurt - that's why we can't trust women to make the big decisions
* she's a muslim and she's proved they all stick together
* she's not 'British' enough and doesn't get British values such as loyalty
and so on. Take your pick, I guarantee some of them will be popping up over the coming days to bash women, muslims, women muslims etc. It's going to be a field day for right-wing cuntery. And in all this, the real issue of Israel acting like a complete bastard gets lost once again. Depressing.
