David Lammy is a very large man. The left-wing black Labour Party MP and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is a political giant in only one sense of the term: the width of his trousers. You could use his belt as a noose to hang a hippo with. He does, in all sincerity, increasingly come to resemble Idi Amin, a fact I am not the only one to have noticed lately. George Galloway, a flamboyant (well, he habitually wears a hat indoors) Scottish former Labour Party MP turned online political commentator, has spotted this fact lately too, blaming the consumption of far too many Jaffa Cakes that UK taxpayers have apparently been buying David on expenses.
I don’t know if Lammy watches Galloway’s YouTube show, but if he did look up from gorging himself from his taxpayer-funded trough for a brief moment, he’d probably claim this comparison was somehow “racist.”
Idi Amin, made fat from eating human flesh.
After all, Lammy has prior form here. Not only has he complained about a pair of “racist shoes” he once saw for sale on Amazon (their color was listed as being “nigger brown”), he has also protested about “silly innuendo” in a BBC report asking whether black or white smoke would be seen emerging from the Vatican during the election of a new Pope in 2013.
David Lammy, made fat from eating Jaffa Cakes.
In 2022, meanwhile, he successfully had a 62-year-old man named Glenn Broadbent prosecuted after he had sent Lammy a tweet reading “Are you hanging off a tree monkey boy? You will hang from a lamppost if you’re not careful” which the MP interpreted, in rather an overblown parsing of these words, as being a genuine “death threat” against him. Unlikely: as Galloway might observe, there is neither a tree nor a lamp-post in Britain which could bear Lammy’s Jaffa-fueled weight. Nonetheless, the “vile racist” Broadbent was fined £2,000 and ordered to pay Lammy a victim surcharge of £128 in compensation. That’s a whole lot of extra taxpayer-funded dunkable snacks for him to greedily consume.
So, Lammy doesn’t like being on the receiving end of inaccurate race-based comparisons which he deems to be inflammatory and which, he says, somehow endanger his life. Shame, then, that he enjoys irresponsibly handing them out to others from a far greater public platform than the likes of Mr. Broadbent ever had himself.
White Lies
If you’re white, and he disagrees with you politically, Jaffa the Hut will call you a Nazi at the drop of a hat, whether you are one or not. In 2018, he described Donald Trump as “a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath”; in 2019, he refused to apologize for calling a group of pro-Brexit UK politicians Nazis, saying that if anything, the comparison “wasn’t strong enough.” When it was pointed out these were ordinary, democratically elected politicians he was libelling, Lammy replied “I don’t care how elected they were: so was the far-Right in [1930s] Germany.”
This September, at the Labour Party conference, Lammy was at it again, comparing Nigel Farage, the leader of the comparatively anti-immigration Reform UK Party, of being Hitler incarnate for daring to suggest a policy of mass deportations should he win the next General Election.
Asked by the BBC whether he thought Nigel was a racist, Lammy explained how he thought Farage’s idea of mass deportations was “not British.” How would an ethnic African know? Because to Lammy, “British values” are synonymous with left-wing globalist ones, which Nigel “doesn’t respect.”
“I will leave it for the public to come to their own judgements about someone who once flirted with Hitler Youth when he was younger,” Lammy concluded.
What was this false assertion based on? Not much. A teacher “with no personal knowledge” of Farage at Nigel’s old public school, Dulwich College, had written a letter mentioning a colleague’s unsubstantiated claim that Farage had once marched through an English village at night singing 1930s Nazi marching songs, something which (if it even happened, which Farage denies), another staff-member had reasonably dismissed as a silly teenage joke. Lammy was later forced to apologize for implying Farage was in the Hitler Youth, this being every bit as chronologically impossible as Henry VII succeeding Henry VIII to the throne of England. [1]
But the insincere apology doesn’t really matter. Whether Nigel really knew the words to the Horst Wessel Lied as a teenager, Lammy clearly thinks Farage to be a neo-Nazi anyway. Why? Because, to Lammy, ethnocentric policies around subjects like immigration are only ever legitimate when pursued by non-white politicians like himself; whenever pursued by white ones, it makes them literally Hitler.
He Wrote the Book On Racism
Basically, Lammy habitually accuses white people who vote for their own rational racial benefit of engaging in a form of unacceptable tribalism. But wait, what’s this? In 2020, humanity’s darkest year, Lammy published his own tell-all book about race called, er, Tribes. It is prominently advertised online as being available from a UK bookshop called Afrori Books, whose infantile logo looks like this:
If there was a store called “Hyperbori: Books of Aryan Origin” selling reprints of Mein Kampf, I think David might object to it. Here’s Lammy’s social media announcement of Tribes’ contents, back from the time:
“Inspired by a DNA test that revealed my roots in the Tuareg people in Niger [another thing whose name he thinks is a hate-crime], the Temne in Sierra Leone and the Bantu in South Africa,” but not the white Cockneys in whose traditional city of London he now resides, Lammy decided to write a book all about tribalism, whose basic conclusion, to judge by media-write-ups, was that tribalism is great for black people like him and Idi Amin, but not for white people like me, Adolf Hitler, Donald Trump, or Nigel Farage.
The book is subtitled ‘How Our Need To Belong Can Make Or Break Society’; presumably a sense of belonging for non-whites can unfailingly make it, and a sense of belonging for whites only ever break it. To judge by extracts online, it seems to be the usual litany of predictable Afro-centric complaints:
I have been stopped and searched around a dozen times by the police, for no good reason. The first time, aged twelve, I could not have looked less like the picture of a criminal. I was a somewhat lanky, nerdy-looking boy with big hair, an old T-shirt and NHS prescription glasses the day I was harassed by men in blue while walking towards West Green Road. The three officers who jumped me that day frisked me down over my balls and buttocks with such force and familiarity that I wet myself.
I’m surprised he didn’t shit out all his Jaffa Cakes too.
Government Grant
According to one critical review from someone who was paid money to read it, the book predictably contains “breath-taking double standards.” At the text’s start, Lammy undergoes a journey of profound racial self-discovery back in his original ancestral homeland:
Driven to find out more about his pre-slavery roots, Lammy discovers he is part-Tuareg and journeys to Niger in search of his origins where his newfound co-ethnics wrap him in a long white turban and robe. Initiated into the Tuareg in a ceremony accompanied by the ‘infectious beat’ of singing, drums and ululating, he feels this ‘immense sense of belonging’ which changes his world. ‘This has been one of the most special moments of my life,’ he tells his hosts, and when in Parliament, he would now ‘stand much taller’. In the local capital, he recognises himself in the physical features of those around him.
If these are sincere emotions, surely he should live there instead of in London, right? Not necessarily. Rather than sending the Tuareg back to Tuareg-land, an alternative means of allowing Lammy to “recognize himself in the physical features of those around him” would be to bring the Tuaregs into London. And the best way to facilitate this would be to destroy the sense of the English as a cohesive ethnic tribe, so they will not be able to object too much to having this substitution forced upon them. As the reviewer observes:
Yet when Lammy considers the ethnic English, his attraction to communities of shared ancestry takes a sharp dive. ‘An ethnic Englishness,’ Lammy writes, ‘tied to toxic assumptions about group supremacy, has put down deep roots in recent years.’
Ethnic African-ness is fine; ethnic Englishness is “toxic.” Perhaps we should expect such thinking, given the demographics of Lammy’s political constituency. He is the MP for Tottenham in North London, his predecessor in this role being the notoriously ethnocentric black radical Bernie Grant, a co-founder of the UK wing of the whole black ‘reparations’ for slavery scam. Below is reproduced the service leaflet for Bernie’s funeral; nothing remotely ethnocentric about that, is there? Imagine how Lammy would react if Nigel Farage got buried accompanied by a leaflet showing him dressed as a Viking alongside a large white engraving of a statue of Thor.
London’s Black Museum of Scotland Yardie
Lammy formerly occupied the Shadow Justice Secretary brief for Labour, once releasing a report into racial disparities within the criminal justice system, which found that, much to his displeasure, only 11% of magistrates and 7% of judges across the UK were from ethnic minority backgrounds. Lammy’s suggestion was to set a national target to achieve proportionate racial representation in UK courtrooms by 2025. No need, just count all the defendants up there in the dock, and blacks are way up to speed, numbers-wise.
As Lammy must know full well, in modern times, Tottenham became an international center for the brutal Jamaican black drug mafia known as the Yardies, with a massive wave of related ultra-violence breaking out there at the exact same time Lammy first became Tottenham’s MP in 2000, including such diversity-enabled delights as the following:
It has been a dirty [gangland] war: one man was executed by a variation on the guillotine, made to kneel with his head on the rim of a car trunk while the lid was slammed shut. The severed head remains at the police station, Exhibit 16 in the murder inquiry.
It’s a severed head and it isn’t even Exhibit 1; that’s how violent the Tottenham Yardies were. Yet Lammy thinks the main problem facing the UK criminal justice system is not that the criminals are disproportionately black, but that the judges sentencing them are disproportionately white. But then you look at the ethnicity data for Tottenham as a whole, and begin to see why he thinks and speaks like this. As of the last available broken-down 2011 UK census data, the place was:
- 27.7% White Non-British
- 26.7% Black
- 23.3% White British
- 10.7% Asian
- 12.6% Other/Mixed
If whites all voted together as a tight-knit racial voting bloc for someone who wore appropriate ethnic fancy-dress to Parliament like Bernie Grant did, then, comprising 50% of the local vote back in 2011, Lammy would have been out of a job. But they don’t, whereas blacks and other non-whites do tend to do so, overwhelmingly voting for the official anti-white party that Labour has now become, so Lammy gets back in again. In other words, if whites begin to vote tribally, Lammy is unemployed. If blacks continue to do so, Lammy keeps his £93,904 a year baseline MP’s salary, plus Ministerial bonus, plus as many free Jaffa Cakes as the man can swallow. Hence, a cynic might say, the rather self-serving message of his 2020 book Tribes.
Self-evidently, the Deputy PM recognizes the deep electoral power of practicing ethnopolitics. Perhaps, when he accuses Nigel Farage of acting like Adolf Hitler, Lammy secretly actually means it as a compliment?

David Lammy looks like he has been “porking out” on the succulent flesh of white babies. Great article! 🙃
“Lammy discovers he is part-Tuareg and journeys to Niger in search of his origins where his newfound co-ethnics wrap him in a long white turban and robe… he recognises himself in the physical features of those around him”
The Tuareg are a Berber people (ie Caucasian, or predominantly Caucasian), whom anthropologists in the nineteenth century often celebrated for their light complexions and the occassional presence of blue eyes among them.
They did, however, practice slavery, with the vast majority of their slaves being sub-Saharan black slaves.
The descendants of black slaves continue to have lower social status and are reportedly the continued victims of social discrimination and oppression.
Indeed, multiple human rights organisations report that the Tuareg continue to practice slavery, or slavery-like conditions, to this day, the vast majority of victims still being black Africans.
Sounds like Lammy was lucky there were cameras there, otherwise, instead of “wrap[ping] him in a long white turban and robe”, they might have locked him up in chains.
Usually I hear him insisting that he is English, except for the occasions on which he is celebrating his black Caribbean identity. And here I learn that he is a proud Tuareg. This David Lammy is truly an international man of mystery!
“Usually I hear him insisting that he is English”, Lammy needs being reminded daily that he is not English.
The day will come when David Lammy is remembered as a symbol of diversity hiring, much like Thaddeus Stevens is remembered as a symbol of the Radical Reconstruction.
One reason that white politicians do not openly court white voters is that they are operating under the illusion of the American (or British, or French, or…) dream that a nation can be built out of diverse racial groups. The Melting Pot and all that sort of thing.
Well, once upon a time such civic nationalism might have been on the table, but the rise of identity politics over the last several decades have scotched it. And it is not simply that non-white politicians promote their own ethnic groups’ interests. It’s that non-white politicians actively attack white people with everything from DEI to cheerleading rioting, iconoclasm and third world invasions.
White politicians (mostly) cannot respond because that would require a reorientation of their world view. The facade would evaporate and they would be faced with the reality of tribal conflict in what they once thought of “their own” countries.
This is a little too much for them since their self-image as well as their campaign contributions are all based on the illusion. It’s like Roman Senators in the era of Tiberius or Claudius operating on the assumption that somehow the Republic could be “restored.” Ain’t gonna happen, not two millennia ago nor today.
