The ongoing stupidity of Home Secretary Priti Patel

[existentialist]

With any amount of luck she will find herself in a whole world of shit over this:

Priti Patel faces tribunal questioning over alleged bullying

Exclusive: lawyers for Patel’s former permanent secretary Sir Philip Rutnam push forward constructive dismissal claim

www.theguardian.com

 

[Artaxerxes]

‘As Conservatives we don’t measure the depth of our compassion in 280 characters on Twitter, but in the actions we take and the choices we make.'

To true Priti, to true.

Priti Patel takes aim at migration ‘do-gooders’ as she launches asylum reform plan

Home secretary’s attempt to group ‘lefty lawyers’ with people-traffickers branded absurd

www.independent.co.uk

And this has has an effect. A man with a knife injured a member of staff at an East London law firm. It's like our version of Pizzagate.
Some law firms have hired security guards as a result.

And what's the opposite of doing good again?

being a Tory

Spokespersons for the law firm explicitly linked the attack to patel's speech.
And they were right to.

And lawyers at another from are getting threats after a Mail article

dog whistle politicos and journalists are craven filth

 

[teqniq]

She really just doesn't give a fuck.

Top ministers urged Priti Patel to stop attacks on 'activist lawyers'

The home secretary’s rhetoric targeting the legal profession continued despite party warnings that it led to violence

A poem that includes a freighter heading to st helena with Priti in the hold

 

[teqniq]

Hahahahaha

 

[brogdale]

OK..I've had enough Bishops to have snorted some out of my nose & over the keyboard when I saw this...childish, I know...

 

[Pickman's model]

apparently she wants to ban protests of more than 2 people Home Secretary will ban protests involving more than TWO people

Priti Patel not following her own anti-trafficking policy, judge rules | Immigration and asylum | The Guardian

Ruling could halt deportation of hundreds of asylum seekers who arrived in UK during pandemic

amp.theguardian.com

The judge, Mr Justice Fordham, said: “It is strongly arguable that the home secretary is acting unlawfully in curtailing asylum screening interviews by asking a narrower set of questions than those that are identified in the published policy guidance.”

 

[brogdale]

The stenographer tells us that La Patel is to get a 'written warning' from Johnson.

 

[maomao]

Not even a final written warning. Total cop out really. Though it is an admission of guilt.

 

[existentialist]

Official written warning from the PM: "Don't get caught next time."

 

[brogdale]

Not even a final written warning. Total cop out really. Though it is an admission of guilt.

Finding, more than admission. let's hope she rejects it and walks.

 

[maomao]

Finding, more than admission. let's hope she rejects it and walks.

I'd bet money she doesn't.

 

[brogdale]

I'd bet money she doesn't.

Don't think you're find any takers.

 

[Teaboy]

This is their internal whitewashing procedure. I believe there is still the case of that senior civil service and his constructive dismissal case rumbling on. If that ends up in front of a tribunal the tories whitewashing will look bad and Patel will be toast again. Trying to blag their way through and still being forced to do something they obviously should have done in the first place is very much on message for this government.

Inquiry 'found Priti Patel broke behaviour rules'

A standards investigation says the home secretary breached the ministerial code, sources say.

www.bbc.co.uk

'Unintentional' bullying, breaches of ministerial code, created fear in the department.

Asking her not to do it again will suffice, I'm sure.

 

[Badgers]

Warnings not worth the paper it's written on

 

[PD58]

'Woman in a man's world' writes female Tory MP 'must be strong and decisive' - nothing wrong with being strong and decisive, some would call it effective leadership but this is not done by creating a culture of fear or failing to treat those she works with little or no consideration or respect, which is what she is being accused of. The report clearly has been buried, so there has to be some concern for government about the outcome. As for resigning, no chance as Tom T says, she is popular in the Tory party and has been kind to many, well that seals it then....

 

[two sheds]

Any court cases you'd think the report would be relevant?

 

[Artaxerxes]

Accidentally didn't know i shouldn't bully someone so it's fine.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Accidentally didn't know i shouldn't bully someone so it's fine.

Didn't know government PR work counted as private sector.

 

[dessiato]

Didn't Johnson say, before the investigation was concluded, he would support her?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Accidentally bullying and treating people without due respect is in many ways worse than intentionally doing so, at least if you done it on purpose you can modify your behaviour, but if the actions are just part of her make up there's no hope of reform for her.

 

[not-bono-ever]

She is out after Brexit anyway. No need for thick brexiteers in the cabinet once a deal is sorted out. She is a nasty bit of work and doesn’t have the smarts required to make a functional HS
