Aside from the Dear Leader, has anyone started on Dianne Abbott?

Genius.
Poor sod will be dragged through the courts though I expect as somebody will no doubt be offended on behalf of somebody else

Geniuses can also be stupid from time to time. Nikola Tesla once fell in love with a pigeon (proper "I want to marry you" kind of love).

Outraged.
Fair point. After all, Van Gogh chopped his ear off. I wonder what talent our darts punter has then?

Certainly not keeping abreast with modern sensibilities. I can't say I'm particularly bothered about people blacking up but I'm not black so doesn't really affect me. I've a mate however who is and I know it bothers him a lot. He's as far from a right-on liberal as you can get too so if it's enough to make him riled then I reckon it probably annoys a lot of people. Aside from anything else, the risk of getting abuse, a punch in the mush or simply barred from going into places should be enough to stop most people from doing it.
I do like the 190 scorecard though. That's quite clever but not so much the rest.
I find it quite amusing purely because it's so taboo to black up these days. A strange thing to want to do though.

The 190 gag is pretty clever but to pull it off, he had to look like Dianne Abbott didn't he?
Is it the case that white folk can't do black fancy dress and vice versa?
