Still deranged after all these months

In the clip, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown assures us she's not God.

Let's be thankful for that. 

But, sadly, she still seems to be suffering from British Media Zionist Derangement Syndrome. 

I first posted about the spectacular outbreak of this overheated-brain affliction, which blighted her Independent column back in December , when she trembled at the thought of "the wrath of Moses" descending on her as she did her best to spook her readers about the "shadowy role" of the very publicly documented and largely ineffectual Labour Friends of Israel. 

On Monday in The Independent, she was fulminating about MPs she identifies as being on the take. And then a propos of nothing in the midst of her list of MPs and their families, in slips the suggestion that super-generous donations from one particular group of people need to be explained in a way that no other super-generous donations do :

George Osborne, it has been revealed, received thousands of pounds for making a speech at a private business function. New Labour doesn't dare to condemn "Tory sleaze" because on its watch sordid deals and favours have become the norm. Under the Blairs, corruption got worse than under the bad old Tories and Brown has not yet shown he understands how much cleaning up there is for him to get on with.

"Poor me" Cherie still can't see why we despise her grossly excessive lifestyle and her holidays with Berlusconi. Wannabe deputy leader Peter Hain is being investigated for his fundraising methods. For some inexplicable reason, super-generous donations from friends of Israel remain unexplained. And now MPs, mainly Labour, including Jacqui Smith, and Andy Burnham and Peter Kilfolye (so-called man of the people) voted to keep all the their unfair perks, including the staggering John Lewis list.

Yes, it's a distressing affliction, which now additionally seems to be manifesting itself in an outbreak of tautology as a secondary symptom.

Meanwhile, if you've the stomach for it, you can watch her on the clip browbeating a surprisingly graciously behaved young woman, with a fraction of Alibhai-Brown's education, privilege and wealth, in the name of anti-racism.

somehow I doubt Ms A-B would be nearly as concerned about "super generous" funding from persons subscribing to other "Abrahamic faiths", which I am sure happen with some frequency, if with considerably less media attention.
