You could not make this up if you tried !

Just found this story in the Daily Express about a crackpot female Labour politician Karen Buck .


Ms Buck, a shadow welfare minister, made her contribution at a public meeting in Islington recently, the North London spiritual home of the metropolitan Left.

There she claimed that coalition plans to limit housing benefit claims to a maximum £400 per week were designed to force black and Muslim women out of central London and into the outer suburbs.

"Let us be very clear – because we also know where the impact is hitting – they don't want black women, they don't want ethnic minority women and they don't want Muslim women living in central London," she said.

Later she issued a partial retraction saying she could not be sure this was the deliberate aim of the housing benefit
reforms but stuck by her assessment of the policy's impact.

What makes this so telling is that for Ms Buck to even level her accusation, it must be the case that an awful lot of ethnic minority and Muslim women are being subsidised to the tune of much more than £400 week to live in central London.
