You might think that as a keen political blogger I would know the names of lots of MPs. I recently looked through a list of the 652 current MPs in this country, and I can safely say that I know something about at least ten percent of them – maybe fifteen percent at most. In other words, I know nothing whatever about nearly all of the current MPs.
I studied
this list in reponse to reading a comment by Dominic Lawson about the wives of Simon
Danczuk MP and Commons Speaker John Bercow.
(For those who do not know, Dominic Lawson is the son of the evil former government minister Nigel
Lawson, and the brother of the television celebrity and former dopehead Nigella
Lawson.)
I then
looked down the home page of the Daily Mail website, and made a list of every
current MP whose name or photograph appeared in a headline. The answer was just seven, which included three
members of the government and three Labour leadership contenders. I did not count the number of headlines which
mentioned celebrities I know nothing about.
The first I
ever knew of Karen Danczuk was a press report about the selfie-loving younger
wife of a Labour MP I knew nothing about.
As it happens, Simon Danczuk is one of the seven MPs mentioned in today’s
Daily Mail headlines, but he is mentioned only in the context of his estranged
wife.
Lawson
accuses Karen Danczuk of feeding off her husband’s name, but this is grossly
misleading. On the one hand, we would
never have heard of her if she had not married an MP, but equally most of us
would never have heard of her husband were it not for his glamorous wife.
Lawson also
claims that:
... the
full-length pictures supplied by Mrs Danczuk of herself wearing only a bikini,
I am obliged to report that if they had been sent in to a glamour modelling
agency, they would have ended up in the bin without so much as a second glance.
Perhaps
Lawson does not know that supermodels often do not look like supermodels on their
days off work. If you don’t believe me,
then feel free to watch this video. (If no video is visible below, then try searching on YT for Cameron Russell TED).
Also, with the exception of supermodels, most of the women who are paraded in the press as beautiful are famous for being actresses or singers or athletes - in other words whose fame is not necessarily dependant on their looks.
Where celebrity
is concerned, most MPs do not make the Z list, and very few MP’s spouses attain
any degree of celebrity, and so Karen Danczuk certainly punches above her weight where celebrity status is concerned.
Many people think that she is self-obsessed, but I wonder how many of those people were repeatedly raped as a child. Karen has alleged that she was sexually abused hundreds of times between the ages of six and twelve, and subsequently suffered body confidence issues. Her obsession with selfies is merely a reaction to her earlier insecurities.
Like her
husband, she is a member of the Labour Party, and her husband is known for his campaigning
work on paedophilia, which may seem a curious pastime for a member of the
paedophile-supporting Labour Party. He
is also known to be dismissive of the British National Party, presumably
because he objects to its relentless campaigning against paedophilia.
