The Things People Say

YAB manages to come out with crass crap as is usual for her.

Journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, a friend of Pryce, said she thought the media’s treatment of her had been sexist.

“Too many people haven’t realised how the loss of love, her wiring was jumbled, the storms in her heart were flooded,” she said.

“She is the most extraordinarily gifted, sane, stable woman, but love unhinged her. It was just ‘why didn’t she go away quietly?’ This society has no time for raging betrayed wives.”

Fuck me, that woman has some chutzpah, using this as a vehicle for peddling her sexist bigotry. What part of “perverting the course of justice” does this cretin not understand?

  1. The giveaway is in the words the BBC website version left off the end:

    “This society has no time for raging betrayed wives; it really has no time for us.”

    Ms Alibhai-Brown, of course, has garnered many column inches in the past using the painful break-up of her first marriage.

    I can well believe that Vicky Pryce is a woman of towering intellect, but when her intimate friends appear include Yasmin Alibhai-Brown and misery-memoir veteran Constance Briscoe, one must surely start to ask serious questions about her judgement.

    • Indeed, anyone who counts serial moaner YAB as a friend has very poor judgement. And, let’s not forget, the press would not have taken any interest in Pryce if she hand’t gone to them in the first place.

  2. Gifted, sane, stable? But “Love unhinged her.”

    I’ve read some utter crap in my time, but that’s close to taking the whole cookie jar of Hob-Nobs and Sweet Digestives.

  3. XX Journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, a friend of Pryce, said she thought the media’s treatment of her had been sexist.

    “Too many people haven’t realised how the loss of love, her wiring was jumbled, the storms in her heart were flooded,” she said.XX

    Hmm. Dutch/Friesische constructions for holding back unwanted amounts of sea water in event of a high tide spring to mind.

  4. “…the storms in her heart were flooded…

    I think the correct phraseology goes something like: “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” doesn’t it?
