The incomparable Emily Thornberry – Labour MP for Islington South and Finsbury

Tribute to Emily Thornberry: Islington South and Finsbury MP.

 

By Stanley Collymore

 

Exceedingly bright, of which there’s absolutely no doubt

whatsoever, and thoroughly refreshingly modern too in

outlook, and this in marked contrast to your average

and supposedly contemporary House of Commons

MP or House of Lords politician blissfully living,

as they’re evidently resistant to change, in the

dark ages of a bygone political and social era.

Proficiently enlightened in your views and

actions and complementarily gifted with

a God-given, naturally appealing and a

most positively communicable charm:

all embracing and solidly reinforced

by an irrefutably and fundamental

grace that’s characteristically and permanently emblematic

of what unquestionably a particularly intelligent lady, in

every affirmative perception and connotation of that

word and who, moreover, is dazzlingly competent

in everything she knowingly embarks upon; and

without any invented airs or graces simply and

expertly, as is her wont, ingeniously gets on

with the job in hand. And quite noticeably

too, all this against an amazingly robust

backdrop of effervescent charm and a

riveting and scintillating personality,

the person whom this poem was

conceived for and specifically

written and is now enthusiastically

dedicated, is the inimitable Emily

Thornberry: loyal Labour Party

member and the unselfishly

hard-working and shrewd

MP for Islington South

and Finsbury. A most

delightfully, in the

bargain, entirely

spell-bindingly

alluring, and

enthralling

woman!

Author’s Remarks.

This poem specifically written for and dedicated to Emily Thornberry, the British House of Commons MP for the constituency of Islington South and Finsbury in London, is all the same a deeply personal as well as a permanent tribute to each and every loyal and conscientious parliamentary Labour Party member who assiduously endeavours with every conscionable sinew of integrity in their bodies to unswervingly work in the best interests of as well as carry out their legal and ethical responsibilities as elected MPs, consistently and unshakably in the best interests of ALL of their constituents, without any bigoted or discriminatory agendas on their part regardless of who these members of our electorate, as is their democratic and constitutional right, chose to vote for; and, of course, in the process of this professional and principled stance also doing what’s best for the overall well-being and benefit of our collective homeland Britain.

 

A salutary lesson of what democracy and political maturity is undoubtedly all about, that firmly resonates with people like me and is profusely perceptible in the honest opinions and trusted actions of Emily Thornberry MP.
