I think it's the person making the comments, rather than the hair colour of the person receiving them, that made this outrageous. Hattie Harperson is, as the Grauniad so eloquently put it, "the doyenne of po-faced political correctness". For her to launch an ad hominem attack on a fellow Parliamentarian based on his appearance is hypocritical in the extreme. It calls into question exactly what is behind the principles she was so keen to ram down all our throats while she was in the Government as the Equalities minister.
