The President of the National Union of Students, who was sacked following an investigation into allegations of antisemitism, says she was 'discriminated against as a black Muslim woman'.
Is there some sort of clause that says it's OK for black Muslim women to be anti-semitic, then?
Shaima Dallali, 27, became the first president to be fired in the 100-year history of the NUS after 'significant breaches of policy' were found. It came after she was suspended from her role at the end of August, just a month into her two-year term.
But she has rejected the findings of an independent disciplinary panel and is considering taking legal action after her contract was terminated yesterday.
Hah! What sort of law firm would take on such a...
In a statement released on her behalf today, law firm Carter-Ruck...
Oh. Right.
...said she had already 'apologised fully for an inappropriate Tweet which she had published in 2012 (that is, a decade before becoming President)'.
Didn't you get the memo? It doesn't matter how long ago transgressions were made...
Lawyers added that she had also made clear her position that other tweets which faced criticism and which pre-dated her election to her NUS role 'were not antisemitic'.
Didn't you get the memo that says 'it's what those offended feel that matters' either..?
