Højtstående socialdemokrat kulturberiget.

Det hjælper ikke at være læge, tidligere minister og socialakrobat – kulturberigelsen gælder alle.

Men det er som sædvanligt et enkeltstående tilfælde.

Daily Mail: “A former minister was stabbed twice in the stomach by a knife-wielding woman today as he held a surgery for constituents. Stephen Timms was attacked by the 21-year-old, who appeared to be wearing Muslim dress, at his regular Friday afternoon surgery in his East London constituency. She lunged at him and stabbed him twice before being wrestled away by a security guard and arrested. An aide to Mr Timms was hailed a hero after it was revealed he wrestled the knife out of the hands of the female attacker. Andrew Bazeley, 22, bravely disarmed the woman who had made an appointment to see Mr Timms at his constituency surgery, witnesses said.  Mr Bazeley was left covered in blood after he grabbed the knife and restrained the woman until a security guard arrived. Mr Timms, 54, was being treated in hospital tonight and said to be in a stable condition.  Eye-witnesses screamed in terror as they watched the woman stab him in the abdomen. – […] The security guard had grabbed this Asian woman. She was wearing a long black outfit like what Muslims wear and an orangey headscarf. I think she was a Muslim.”

Virkelig…?

Rettelse: Takket være vor opmærksomme læser, CBL, har vi fejlagtigt udnævnt mr. Timms til læge, hvad han ingenlunde er. Misforståelsen skyldes udtrykket “surgery” som vi takket være vor uendelige uvidenhed og elendige engelskkundskaber har tolket som en klinik. Det drejer sig dog kun om en slags snakketime, som parlamentarikere histovre har en gang om ugen for at kunne møde deres vælgere. Måske en idé vi kunne kopiere herhjemme…? – Nå, nej….
