I will presume to advise Suzanne Moore - the feminist writer for The Mail and Guardian who is also the Independent candidate standing at Hackney North & Stoke Newington on May 6.
She has been grievously insulted by Darcus Howe, who appears to be saying he won't be voting for someone like Suzanne because she is not - I am paraphrasing here - a big black mamma, unlike Diane Abbott.
It is unclear why he dislikes Suzanne so, but it seems almost racist the way he said he won't be voting for her (because she hasn't spoken in favour of Black Power - why would she anyway?) and then went on to make snide remarks about her midlife crisis.
Since Agnes Sina-Inakoju was shot in the neck last Wednesday while in a fast food outlet at 7:15 PM with her friends by two drive-by cyclists whom I am pretty certain were also the victims of a Darcus Howe "fuck 'em and forget 'em" style of absent fathering, it seems an opportune time to return the insult and start a national debate on family breakdown while also giving her campaign a much-needed boost.

"SUZANNE MOORE SAYS BAD DAD DARCUS STYLE OF PARENTING RESPONSIBLE FOR FERAL YOUTH" should kickstart the debate nicely.
"Howe has been married three times, and has seven children by four different women. He had little contact with many of his children during their childhoods. His son Amiri was threatened with jail for a stolen passport scam.
In October 2005 Howe presented a Channel 4 documentary Son of Mine, about his troubled relationship with his 20-year-old son Amiri, who had been caught handling stolen passports, shoplifting, and accused of attempted rape."
It is disappointing that she appears reluctant or unwilling to pursue this line of campaigning, even in the light of the casual murder of an innocent and pretty schoolgirl in the constituency she hopes to represent. I wonder why. It has all the incendiary ingredients of sex and race, which is exactly what the electorate would want.
