The ongoing stupidity of Home Secretary Priti Patel

[SpineyNorman]

I used my personage to walk the dog this morning. It's exactly the same as just regular walking the dog but I get to use the word personage which I think is meant to make me look clever.

Rodders thinks there isn’t enough bullying in the civil service

Ah. The man who infamously hit his pregnant girlfriend. Right. Let's take advice about appropriate behaviour and what is or isn't bullying from him.

Bell has form

Bell also hates Scots and some of his cartoons re: independence are a little nineteenth century...

That's basically the essence of Tory politics. Marty is a sweaty little Tory so I don't know why this would come as a surprise.

Fair point

 

[philosophical]

I asked an unapologetic bully what right they had to bully others and their answer was 'they (the targets)bring it on themselves'.

 

[two sheds]

The family I got my dog from had three young boys (they horribly pestered her, she's still not recovered), the youngest of which was being bullied when I was there. I asked the bully why he was doing it and he said "because he deserves it".

So yep they don't really grow up.

It's okay.. Nigel Farage has rushed to Priti's defence trying the what if Dianne Abbott was insulted in this way argument...




I mean, Dianne Abbott the most abused and ridiculed MP ever...who is hounded daily by racist, misogynist tweets/comments/emails/letters...many of which come from the very same people who support the Torys and are up to their necks in Snake Oil Nig's anti-anything not the right kind of White rhetoric....Okay.


Getting his arse handed back to him.

What about the dog's doggage that's what I'd like to know.

You have a filthy mind sir. Wash your mouth out!

Doesn't really require any whatifery, though.
Bell has the right to portray Patel as he likes, but he does not have the right to be beyond criticism.

She deserves all that hopefully is coming to her. After her unofficial meetings in Israel she should never have been given another appointment in Government.

I wouldn't be that surprised if those "unofficial" meetings in Israel were rather more official than anyone wants to admit. A nice little bit of plausible deniability, and give the job to someone who's brazen enough to weather the shitstorm...

So who is getting their ‘arse handed back’?

And you approve of misogyny and racism of PP because DA endured the same?

 

[Serge Forward]

Fuck off you cunt.

Nigel Farage gets his arse handed back to him whenever he opens his mouth to speak. Because he almost invariably trots out some platitudinous crowdpleasing nonsense that's more full of holes than a redneck barn door.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

No, essentially I believe that when it comes to supernatural belief systems, no-one has the right not to be offended, but that shouldn't cause people to desist from challenging material that appears to have racist undertones (conscious or not).
Some satirical characterisations can and do cause offence and some may well appear racist and, as you say, there's a fair dollop of hypocrisy coming from a paper that would normally like to present as 'progressive' and 'inclusive'.

If it had been just Patel on her own, you might have a point. But it wasn't. It was her and Johnson portrayed in exactly the same way to make a point about the pair of them and how they behave.

[Serge Forward]

Whatever the rights and wrongs of Bell's cartoon, any potential offence caused by it would be miniscule compared to the veritable gushing Mount Vesuvius of hateful shite from that vile cunt Marty1.

 

[two sheds]

Fuck off you cunt.

Apologize to Serge immediately for that, Marty1

 

[Ax^]

Where is the racism toward Priti in that cartoon btw

 

[SpineyNorman]

And as everyone knows, you're all about fighting misogyny and racism. It's at the heart of everything you post.

 

[existentialist]

Nothing in what I wrote there could possibly be construed as approval of anything he says or does. The fact that you are trying to insinuate that it does demonstrates a remarkable combination of naivety and disingenuousness. Which is fairly par for the course...

 

[SpineyNorman]

I don't like that cartoon, I doubt the intent was racist but it doesn't look good.

Farage is wrong and a pathetic little hypocrite because DA has had far worse thrown at her and hes said fuck all about it apart from occasionally joining in.

And although I completely reject the vile rumours about him torturing puppies marty1 is still a massive cunt.

Do you agree with the point made in Farage’s tweet?

I think it’s fair to say that many on the left would be complaining of racism and misogyny if DA was being accused of bullying, yes?

 

[Ax^]

And patel would more than likely being out saying that it was not racist


just like she did with megan

Who did she bully and what did she do?

It has happened to DA throughout her entire career. Why hasn't farage ever defended her?

Look up "whataboutery". Because it's what you're doing right now, in spades.

So you agree that this is all political point scoring.

Thank you, we got there in the end though some on here have been doing backflips to dodge the obvious.

 

[SpineyNorman]

This reminds me of when Tommy Robinson pretended to be all about gay rights so he could be racist more often.
