“Ginger jhadis” are real. I joined a communist organisation as a teenager, and—though not decisive—this was partly down to being bullied ‘cause I had red hair. Lenin and Castro had red hair too, of course.
It’s sort of working. My hairdresser praised my hair the other week. Makes a change from “You ginger cunt” hurled from a car window. Anyway, it’s basically true...gingers and redheads are marginalised and sometimes that leads to radical politics.
