On Sunday night police moved into the Legacy funeral home in Hull. Oh, that’s odd. They weren’t dead, why would they go there? They weren’t discussing funerals either. They just went in and arrested 2 people. And found some dead bodies. Which, of all the places to find corpses in the world, could actually be expected in that particular one. So it all felt a bit ‘odd’.

But then, as more ‘news’ was drip-fed to the nation, rather than the clarity this might normally bring, it just made it odder still.

They found 35 bodies in the Legacy homes (there are a few; death is big business). We learn then that really, those bodies shouldn’t be there. They should be buried. And should HAVE been buried long ago. The funerals and cremations of these deceased people happened months ago. So who, if anyone, was buried at those events? Who was cremated and had ‘their ashes’ given to the family? When poor Uncle Ken is still in a fridge in Hull? Whose ashes did I sprinkle over Billy Bremner’s statue at Elland Road???

More to the point; why didn’t they bury the bodies they were paid to? Most importantly, what the fuck did they want to keep them for? Did they intend to save them to later ‘flood the market’? I think we should be told. Well, I think I should be told because I can’t for the life of me think of any reason why they would do such a thing.

Meanwhile, not in Hull but much closer to home, Rishi Sunak is busy in Parliament defending Frank Hester. He’s the Conservative Party donor who has given them 10 million quid in the last year. Frank said (in 2019, but its still as funny now as it was then, so Labour can still drag it out before the election) that Diane Abbot is enough to make him hate all black women. He then said that he has no problem with black women but Diane Abbot should be shot.

And I have to agree with him on both counts. That woman is a horror. Much as I might say ‘that rabbi is enough to make you hate Jews’. As you know, I’m a firm advocate of people ‘being shot’, but I don’t own a gun and use it purely as a metaphor. As hyperbole. Except Jeremy Corbyn, obvs.

But when you apply the 100%-literal, super-woke, insanely-PC microscope to any sentence using the word ‘black’, and/or ‘woman’, possibly with ‘shot’, and you are a racist, misogynist, probably a privileged, white, middle-class rapist murderer!! The context of the sentence is ignored. The nuance simply doesn’t exist in woke-world. And if you couple that, in pre-election times, to the remote possibility that the government might lose a hefty part of its ‘war chest’, then Starmer might as well get once again onto his high fucking horse of ‘equality’ and fish it out of the archive.

He’s enough to make me hate all white men.

Happy Wednesday
