Suella Braverman's time is up.

[bimble]

She doesn’t care about your opinion.

This is factually just wrong, i think.
Look at how she leapt onto Linker's tweet, look how they're always banging on about the out of touch liberal elite and the immigrant-loving lefties etc etc. I reckon that since 2016 or so, 3/4 of the whole point of politics as perpetrated by people like Braverman is just an effort to "trigger" / create a reaction, thats how it works when culture wars replaces any kind of actual policy.

Where's a train when you need one?

The bigots are gonna love this less publicised part of Braverman's agreement with Rwanda:

 

[bimble]

Thing in the sunday times about how net immigration figures have risen massively since brexit, to a degree nobody expected.

"In total, the ONS estimates that some 504,000 long-term migrants arrived in the UK in the year to June 2022, one of the largest figures ever recorded. The 51,000 EU nationals leaving has been more than offset by net flows from other countries.."


So maybe to some extent the crazed focus on the rubber dingies is logical, as an attempt to keep the anti immigrant stance going (the idea that if your wages are low and your public services are crap its because there are too many foreigners taking your house / job/ hospital bed etc, just like in 2016) whilst hoping that people will be too busy scanning the kent coast for soggy people to ever look at the actual statistics.

 

[Ax^]

it the oldest trick in the book from people like Braverman and people like her


people with less money in their pockets blame minorities not the government, even been cartoons about it for years

That's ACTUALLY Auschwitz

How I Honored My Grandfather’s Memory — With a 20-Square-Foot Model of Auschwitz

It was August 1944 when the last trains rolled out of Radogoszcz station from the Łódź ghetto. The trains were headed for Auschwitz, and my great-grandfather Edward (Yehuda) Biderman was on one of these ill-fated transports. He had suffered so much already. Born into poverty on October 3, 1911...

Yeah I know it is shopped like most of the others.

About those houses where Braverman was photographed......

 

[gentlegreen]

40,000,000 RWF = £30,000

No one was ever going to be sent there anyway - so it's academic.
Mere hundreds of millions rather than tens of billions as per previous scams.
My index of progress will be when my own Tory family members admit they were repeatedly fooled...

Roger Daltrey's announced he won't get fooled again

If true it does neatly explain why she only had tame media accompany her.

this story had passed me by last month, but Braverman's been spreading lies again. deliberately and recklessly stirring up hatred.

Once upon a time in Wakefield

The truth about one white 14-year-old schoolboy and a Koran is less straightforward than the culture war narrative suggests.

www.newstatesman.com

The school may have erred in its rush to react to the incident, but Braverman’s decision to weigh in on the matter in the Times eight days later was different. The Home Secretary, with all the power of the state at her disposal, made no attempt to find out what had happened at Kettlethorpe. The prevailing narrative was too good to check. By describing the gathering at the mosque as a “sharia law trial”, and declaring that the mother of the boy had been “made to account” for his behaviour, Braverman emboldened multiculturalism’s most intolerant critics.

She cannot be gone fast enough imo.

You talk like you'd two arseholes, but one of them in your face

“I talk like I had (interesting tense) two arseholes, but one of the arseholes is (the “is” is my addition) in my face.”
Is that it?
Or is my face one of the two arseholes I’m fortunate enough to possess?
I’m not sure you’re as bright as you make out.

 

[wow]

No-one?

 

[existentialist]

No-one?

Sorry, what were you expecting?

 

[wow]

No need to apologise.

“I talk like I had (interesting tense) two arseholes, but one of the arseholes is (the “is” is my addition) in my face.”

No, it's a parallel construction, you don't need to insert the copula. 'Had' covers the second half of the sentence too.

Sunak should do a Liz Truss

“No, it’s a parallel construction…”

What an arselicker, jeez. Listen, I get it. When our mates are put down, we jump in and help. But you’re deconstructing my grammar when “yer man” fucked up again. Copula, lol.
