The ongoing stupidity of Home Secretary Priti Patel

[Humberto]

Daily express is usually spot on. Absolute rag. The right shitting in bins.

 

[Streathamite]

So who is getting their ‘arse handed back’?

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

Evidence, please, of racism and misogyny shown towards Patel, please

 

[Streathamite]

I mean whatever the intent behind it, it really shouldn't be controversial to say that it was an error to depict patel as a cow

I think it was more 'bull in China shop' - but I agree, it really was crass. He is STILL our best cartoonist -by a street - but he really should have known better

 

[Streathamite]

Ta for that, Mr steps
That'll be "the senior civil servant who felt so sure of himself he had to hide behind a Clark of anonymity".-unlike Rutnam

 

[Streathamite]

Not all tories think she is wonderful.

That won't play

 

[Streathamite]

Correct, so its all speculation at present but personally - based off Rutnam’s piss poor weak video statement to the press

Fwiu, this draining of the swamp business may be to boot out civil servants who were behind frustrating Brexit and who may be trying to frustrate the govt further despite their clear mandate from the electorate.

There's ZERO evidence that happened, and it would go quite strongly against their ethos

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.

Irish Starving, Big Tobacco Promoting, Terrorist Supporting: Meet New Home Secretary Priti Patel

Quite a charge sheet for the holder of 'one of the great offices of state'.​

 

[ViolentPanda]

Need to add boring to that description. At least previous far right twats were good for a bit of entertainment (anyone remember the onarchy thread?).

Now THAT was fun!

I think part of Marty's strategy is to bore us into submission.

...or into suicide, a la dwyer's "Proof of God's Existence" thread.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Careful or he'll call you a cuck next

Incels always do that. As if they're not longing to be in a position to be cuckolded!

 

[ViolentPanda]

Err except that everyone who knows DA - and that's me, and lots of others -know full well that there's absolutely ZERO chance of that happening.
Because, simply she never behaves like that.

Yep. When I met her at the end of last month, she was - as usual - as nice as pie, even when asked hard questions.

I had forgotten how tiny she is, though!

 

[Pickman's model]

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?

How many is many? 5? 10? 50?

 

[philosophical]

I will repeat something I wrote before. Patel in her own mind simply repeats ad nauseaum the word 'obviously' as enough justification to herself that she must be right.
Like many who use the word, she would crumble if asked 'what do you mean by 'obviously'?'.
It is one of the least empathetic and collaborative words I can think of, and is used in my view as a short cut past explanation, justification, and the chore of providing reason.

 

[agricola]

As tiny as her opposite number?

 

[ViolentPanda]

As tiny as her opposite number?

Yep!

The classic sorrynotsorry. You'd think a competent politic...oh.

 

[Petcha]

It was an extraordinary performance. I think I need a shower after putting myself through that. What a nasty smirking piece of shit.

 

[quiet guy]

Just cannot believe how low these scumbags will go with their meally mouthed, wishy-washy statements. Every time a reporter highlights a failing they come up with a shit side swipe as a deflection. These b*stards need to be held to account and called out on this once the health situation improves.

Yeah that got me rather.

The copper alongside her came across worse. That took some some doing.

Vile, lying, incompetent, spineless, useless, opportunistic fucking Tory shitebag.

Amazing figure he gave out about the number of arrests for suspected domestic violence in the Midlands

OMG, whatever Patel has, it's infectious!

 

[Humberto]

It's a pretence, this 'herculean effort'. A posture. They are just trying to cover their own arses. A bit of 'yes, we haven't done enough' would have gone a long way.

 

[Ax^]

the reemergence of Patel is kinda worrying


are they going to attempt to reopen the country next week

not even at the peak death rate

but like Patel cares about the poplulation of the united kingdom
