I think yours is the reason for what izz describes. She comes across to me as someone with such an obsessive need for control that anything that looks to her like defiance of authority provokes an immediate reaction. Taking the knee might not actually be "defiance of authority" (although it is effectively that), but she's going to see it as sufficient evidence of a lack of deference, surely the start of the slippery slope to defiance proper, and therefore highly undesirable.
Assuming that she doesn't actually hold racist views herself, and sees it as being in direct defiance of her, personally. It would seem plausible.
Priti Patel suffers, I suspect, from a condition we might call "not quite as clever as they think they are", and she has the acute variety, where she is dimly aware of this fact. That's why she can never, ever admit fault or error. It's why her immediate response to any obstacle or challenge is to reach for a bigger stick. I suspect someone caught some serious shit when she made that idiotic number error we're still chuckling about - she couldn't admit to having made a mistake, but it had to be SOMEONE'S fault.
Sadly, our political system seems to have reached a point where forms of psychotic behaviour are a positive advantage to progression.
ETA: when I was studying for my counselling degree, I went to a very entertaining lunchtime lecture entitled "Psychosis as a management competence", where the speaker went through a range of "desirable corporate management behaviours/values", and was able to relate them to various psychotic and neurotic states - narcissism, depersonalisation, even schizophrenia. It all made sense, although I think there was a tacit acceptance that we weren't talking about florid expressions of those conditions. But now...

She is quite chilling.
Which is weird, because you don't usually encounter "chilling" alongside "village idiot"

Her husband calls her his personal piranha ... Fitting.

This has connotations about her blowie style I'm not happy about knowing.

I must admit, I have mused on what the personal lives are like for people like Patel - or, more precisely, what it's like for those around them - but I hadn't (yet) got as far as to speculate on the nature of her conjugals...

It's lockdown 3.0 and I'm slowly losing my mind so I apologise for being overly unpleasant on occasion.

Hardly getting over it.
It's the old story. She misheard, thought they said "drains", and asked for hers to be jetwashed out.

Despite it being dropped nine years ago, Priti Patel is proposing the re-introduction of forcible fingerprinting of asylum seekers.
