Today, we celebrate with Malala
From A World At School
16 years old today…
…and here’s her inspirational speech to the UN today:
Shame, shame, shame on those people on the so-called “left” who’ve ever expressed any degree of sympathy, support for, or ‘contextualisation’ of the actions of, the child-killers and gynophobic barbarians of the Taliban: yes, I mean you fucking shower, the SWP, Workers Power, the ISG and degenerate ‘Labour’ MP Jeremy Corbyn.

Talking of showers, here’s the latest from the almost forgotten Socialist Action: http://tendancecoatesy.wordpress.com/2013/07/12/socialist-action-tries-to-use-jean-luc-melenchon-to-back-its-line-on-egypt/

As the handing back of Afghanistan to the Taliban and the erosion of what women’s rights there were there continues apace I am not altogether sure what there is to celebrate other than that this one true heroine survived.
Any life she has now must surely be spent in exile and while I hope she will be a great global campaigner for women’s rights I wish I could believe that there was anything significant that can be done now for her poor sisters in Afghanistan itself.
