For someone who claims not to go looking for drama, foghorn media tart Yassmin Abdel-Magied has an odd habit of shooting off her gob in the most attention-seeking ways possible. When she inevitably gets the reaction she was trying to provoke, she goes full cry-bully and runs weeping crocodile tears to the welcoming arms of the taxpayer-funded media.
Oh, because it’s all because she’s a Muslim, see?
Pull the other one, you attention-seeking drama queen.
Reflecting on the five years since she left Australia, she said “drama finds me”.
“I didn’t go looking for the drama, but somehow, I tended to attract it,” she said.
Oh, right: so that’s why you went on QandA and got into a screaming match with Jacqui Lambie because she told some uncomfortable truths about sharia? (An incident, by the way, where she made a claim so risible — “Islam is the most feminist religion” — that even the solid-left QandA audience burst into laughter.) Is it also why you threw an attention-seeking tanty at Lionel Shriver for the heinous sin of wearing a sombrero onstage?
Most of all, is it why you posted a public statement that you must have known would cause outrage by slandering Australia’s most revered secular day?
An Australia, as it transpires, that you seem to “viscerally” hate and treat solely as a matter of convenience.
Abdel-Magied has also stirred fresh controversy after suggesting in an essay that she may give up her Australian citizenship, sharing how hearing an Australian accent almost provoked a visceral reaction.
Ultimately, she said, actually renouncing it would be “very impractical for me to do”, but she wanted to get people thinking about “what does it mean to have an Australian citizenship?”
“The Sudanese citizenship that I have doesn’t get me very far travelling in the world,” she said.
Well, for a start, having an Australian citizenship is meant to be a sign of allegiance to the nation and its people. If hearing Australian accents provokes a “visceral” reaction in you, it’s clear that you simply don’t like Australia. It’s even more clear that you treat Australian citizenship as simply a utilitarian notion, useful only for whatever personal benefit you can derive from it.
I mean, it’s not like Australia has ever done anything for her. Like, taking in her and her family as refugees, providing them benefits, free education, a well-paying job as a diversity hire, and endless, endless media attention.
Abdel-Magied said life in London has kept her on her toes.
“I’ve built a life here that I’m very happy with,” she said.

Well, good for you. Do the rest of us a favour and stay there.
And stop cry-bully whining at every opportunity.
Update
In her never-ending quest to not find drama (and surely not to promote her new book before it heads for the remainder bins), Abdel-Magied has shot her online gob off again and royally (pun intended) pissed off Britain as well.
Activist and writer Yassmin Abdel-Magied has taken a brutal swipe at the Queen’s platinum jubilee celebration, claiming the presence of so many Union Jack flags in her adopted homeland is like a ‘waking nightmare’.
Furious commenters fired back at the remark, with some telling her to ‘go back to Australia’.

Gosh, how does this just keep happening? Is it cos she is Muslim?
