We have seen him on TV hugging the late nurse's father.

What has all this got to do with Keith Vaz?

Who set him up to represent the tragic nurse's family?

Is he their constituency MP?

I'm glad someone's pushing their case. If he's not their MP, who is and why isn't he or she doing it for them?

They have a common background and might have a common language. It seems a decent thing to do.
There are some sad stories which people shouldn't use to try and make cheap political points.

He seems to jump on the bandwagon of every "ethnic" problem.

This is the prompt for the thread.

"He seems to jump on the bandwagon of every "ethnic" problem."

Good for him!!
As already stated, it's good to see that someone is helping this poor family - other than throwing money at the situation!

Maybe Vaz thinks it all comes down to a racial issue and she died because of it.

has he said anything of the sort?

why did he go to them in the first place. They didn't ask for his assistance, nor i expect would one have asked an MP who is not in their home constituency. Better to have had a good family friend to be your spokesperson. According to the news report the MP who is in their constituency didn't get a look in as she was shoved to one side by this publicity hungry man. He is a a crook, why on earth would you want him on your side. And what has ethnicity to do with it.
I rather agree with VHG on this.

Could you explain the contradiction of terms, regarding ethnic/ethnicity?

I understood that the family approached KV in his capacity as a promiment Assian MP.
