The ongoing stupidity of Home Secretary Priti Patel

[GarveyLives]

I seem to recall that there was a great deal of excitement among Britian's ethnic majority when the then (and indeed, current, Shadow Home Secretary) gave an erroneous figure in an interview in May 2017.

This more recent incident involving the current Home Secretary does not seem to have created the same level of furore, even though on the face of it, following a terrorist incident she has appeared in the media in the immediate aftermath to repeat a slogan, apparently without understanding what the slogan actually means.

"Britain's ethnic majority"...

Angles or Saxons?

I forget the context, but not long after Abbott's difficult interview Boris Johnson gave a not dissimilar response to questioning on air, stumbling over figures.

You people, you people never, ever include the Jutes.

Those frigging Norse had an input too. I suppose their DNA gets all mixed up from the Bastard William & his conquest.

It is my feeling that the home secretary's position is a particularly tricky one and one that requires a high workload and deft and intelligent handling.

These statements about counter terrorism are certainly strange but does anyone see any evidence that she is mastering her brief?

Roy Jenkins was probably the last one that mastered the brief

I have no memories of those days

No evidence whatsover, but if you live in Priti Patel-world, that lack of any evidence will without doubt mean that the answer to your (bolded) question is surely ,,,,,

"YES! Deffo!!! Shedloads of evidence!!"

His making parliamentary time for necessary social reforms is rightly praised, but it's overshadowed his many mistakes as Home Secretary, from weakening jury trial to waving through the abolition of preventative policing. There's something about the Home Office that corrupts even liberals like Jenkins, which is why its abolition can't come soon enough.

I am amused by the description of Priti Patel on this week's News Quiz, in which a panellist likened her smirking physog to that of someone having a cheeky orgasm up against the water jet in the swimming pool

Just had to post this: Priti Patel to deport her own parents under tough new Immigration Points System

Priti Patel concedes her parents might have been blocked from UK under her immigration rules

Priti Patel concedes her parents might have been blocked from UK under her immigration rules

​

Following in the footsteps of her predeccessor Sajid Javid, who if memory serves also came up with an immigration policy that would have excluded his own mum and dad.

​

TBF, she can afford to concede that - she's already here, and she's Home fucking Secretary

She is being accused of bullying civil service staff. She would probably prefer to have Cummings' spads advising her.

Posted on the funny thread but for anyone who does not follow that I will leave it here. It isn't really that funny when you consider her position & how clueless she seems.

 

[Dogsauce]

Useful for Johnson to have someone more stupid and nasty than him in the spotlight. Keeps his own character away from scrutiny. Some benefit in employing idiot.

How the fuck did we end up with a fucking moron as stupid as this as our home secretary?

I disagree with about everything PP stands and says for but i dont think she is stupid. Scary rather than stupid.

One cycle-path Boris is happy to actually promote.

She is pretty bloody stupid IMO. Low cunning in terms of nasty politics does not disprove that.

It's incredible how stupid some intelligent people can be.

Ken Clarke did okay on the minutiae, but was almost as big a cunt as Michael Howard on the policy.

The Sunday Times quoted unnamed officials claiming that MI5 found Patel “extremely difficult to deal with” and that she “doesn’t grasp the subtleties of intelligence”. One told the paper that she was now receiving less intelligence from MI5 than her predecessors as a consequence of her attitude.

Patel’s allies believe that officials are briefing against her because they do not like being challenged.
