Julie Burchill: “Here is the masochistic madness of do-gooding socialist feminism laid bare”

February 24, 2017 By Kathy Shaidle

Julie Burchill reviews books by two female politicians you’ve probably never heard of:

Like the awful Diane Abbott, Harman is one of those thoughtful, serious-minded Labour women who seems to come alive when saying silly, thoughtless things.

She even has the Voice — that more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger Sunday-school drone which remains convinced that if it keeps repeating itself in ever slower permutations, opposition will do the decent thing and crumble. Brexit, of course, was the ripest raspberry ever blown in the face of such wheedling arrogance.
