Whatever did we do to deserve Baroness Uddin?

Baroness Uddin, fluent in multi-culti, second homes, Tower Hamlets
Until this weekend's story broke about her expenses irregularities you'd probably never heard of Britain's first Muslim peer Baroness Uddin. I had, though, because a couple of years ago, I remember being particularly incensed while driving along listening to a Radio 4 programme about the disasters of multiculturalism.
On one side of the debate was an intelligent, articulate, well-spoken Muslim doctor who was talking about the damage multi-culti pieties had done to social cohesion in East London's Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities. Particularly rubbish, he said, was the policy of PC councils of translating everything into languages like Urdu and Bengali - rather than encouraging immigrant communities to learn English. This, he explained, did bullying Muslim husbands' dirty work for them by enabling them to keep their non-English-speaking, often-imported brides in thrall, and away from the tainting influence of the kuffar.
Baroness Uddin was speaking opposite him and though I can't remember exactly what she said, I do recall being so struck by the unutterable idiocy of her half-baked and ill-expressed views that I stopped the car to jot down her name. "Christ on a bike," I thought to myself. "What kind of world do we inhabit that someone like this gets a peerage?"
I'm still searching for an answer. She can't be totally stupid, for her response when the story broke about her having allegedly claimed £100,000 for a "main home" she doesn't live in was impressively swift: round she came in her BMW 4 x 4 to put some curtains up and a mat by the front door. Iain Dale has lots more comedy dirt on this, such as the claim that the house she DOES live in is Housing Association property with a subsidised rent supposedly designed for low-income families. Principled socialism in action, eh, readers?
Here is a video of Baroness Uddin in action.
Was your immediate thought: here is a woman whose intelligence, rapier wit, wisdom, commonsense and mastery of the English language in all its nuance and complexity more than justifies her elevation to the Lords?
Me neither.
She was elevated to the peerage by Tony Blair (says it all really) in 1998, though for which particular service to the nation is not immediately apparent. She has been a Labour councillor, a liaison officer for Tower Hamlets social services and is described on her Wikipedia entry as a "community activist."
Hmm. Sounds like perfect MBE material to me.
But a peerage?

Just another Nu-Lab kleptocrat. What I want to know is which Labour MPs might top themselves if their fraudulent expenses are revealed, and if there is anything we can do to expedite this topping oneself process?

"Was your immediate thought:...?"
My immediate thought was she should be in prison, but that was for the second home claim. I'm not sure my temper could stand the video.

Labour MP/peer/councillor/whatever is now synonymous with 'thief'.

Poverty of the MPs is in the grotesque shamelessness... and petty greed
EAST LONDON PRESS says at 0510 Hrs on Tuesday 31 March 2009: It is not just Harry Cohen, the east London MP who used to flaunt a faker beard and spout strings of calculated socialistic confections... Having lost BOTH in order to stay on the bandwagon, Cohen seems to have also lost any sense of rationality. And dignity. How else could he be saying those things, comparing himself to Churchill in that way? There were indeed many flaws in Churchill’s life and character. But Harry Cohen is not remotely convincing as a comparable Member of Parliament...Or as a member of society... What Cohen’s banal boast tells us about him is that he belongs to a parliament of political, mental, moral pigmies with no evident shame...
