The ongoing stupidity of Home Secretary Priti Patel

In a possible sign of things to come, one of Priti Patel's first acts as Home Secretary appears to have been to ban the African American film maker, Tariq Nasheed, who has made a series of documentaries that chart the history of Africans in America and around the world, and de-constructs white supremacy and structural racism, explaining the origins and the impact and methodology, from entering the UK:

We need anti-racism activists like Tariq Nasheed in the UK – but the Home Office would rather let Trump in

without wanting in any way to put yer man down, he seems to have written a few books which an untutored eye might suspect were misogynistic

She may well be more intelligent than Truss.

Patel, Dorries and McVey (and two of 'em are blonde. Blondes everywhere have been fighting for decades to shake off the 'dumb' epithet - and they're both Scousers, who have also been stereotyped as not exactly at the front of the queue when the brains were being handed out)). Liverpool, I feel for ya…:(

Urbz have long argued over the most limited politicians, irrespective of physiognomy or sex.
Prob could nourish it's own thread, but I'd propose the (blondish) male tory MP Andrew Rosindell as the gold medal winner in the thicko stakes. Though I have to declare an interest; a personal friend of mine had the misfortune to go through school with him in Romford...so I've heard just how dim he was then.

regarding Liverpool; individuals like this rarely have any grounded links to to the communities from which they 'escaped'.
 
I've been on Islay visiting Mrs Sas's sister for the last week, so haven't been digesting my usual news diet.

Driving home today, when I heard the 'news' that more prison places are to be created... I didn't quite know what to think, other than we should be jailing fewer people, not more. Prison should be reserved for those who are a danger to society, so... rapists, child molesters, GBH merchants etc, not those who have failed to pay a fine, which is the greatest cause of imprisonment. It costs a fucking fortune to lock people up. No one (well almost no one) has zero income, fines could come off benefits at a minute amount a week, costing zilch to administer.

We also need a long hard look at reducing the number of things which constitute a criminal offence.

Which is why they're doing it. Part of the trade deal with America will likely mean increased access for their prison companies to set up private prisons over here. By announcing the funding for it now, they're saving themselves a headache down the line.

We also need a long hard look at reducing the number of things which constitute a criminal offence.

Indeed, a trend for which we have Tony Blair's government to thank. One of the reasons I'll never vote Labour, at least whilst Yvette 'Whatever you don't like, I'll use the law to ban it' Cooper is still an MP, and the risk is still there.
 
10000 new places would get the prison service back on an even keel if there's no rush to actually fill them.
But off course that's not going to happen :rolleyes:

I wish more people had the opportunity to work for five hours a month and earn £5k.

Thing is the US company pissed that money up the wall as the MoD has no fucking clue and even if it does will send an expert on scuba gear to listen to the presentation!

Anecdote time the new sniper rifle bid the company worked on the bid for months MoD sent a rocket and a sonar expert!

You can just imagine someone at the Mod asking a colleague who to send 'oh, just send Biffy, he loves presentations' 'but it's for new sniper results' 'he won't care, he just goes for the canapes'.
 
Tbf to the MoD they found two blokes who'd never seen any movie with a sniper in or played a computer game of with a sniper rifle in!
Tbf this level of ignorance actually worked for the military when they needed new pistols they ordered 25000 glocks job done!
The US spent a decade and untold millions and still had to fight against idiots who wanted to bring back the. 45:)

It must take quite a bit of dedication to avoid any movie or TV programme with a sniper rifle in it.
 
Each entry appended with "Executed at The People's Wall, Trafalgar Sq, London" followed by date of demise.
i don't think so. there'll be about 12,800 'lost at sea', 1,492 'shot trying to escape' and almost all the remainder 'died to save the penguins'

only mps and the royal family are scheduled to stand against the people's wall, lords will be disposed of around the country.

when your asking questions like does a sniper rifle need a night sight? your really in the wrong meeting:facepalm:
MoD tried to save a £1 a rifle by buying mild steel cleaning rods that bend and are shit instead of the stainless steel ones that dont bend.
Accuracy international maker of very very expensive rifles Accuracy International when you need somebody dead with artisan precision and their too far away to stab with a saber:D. may have given up listening to the man from the MoD and just shipped the rifles with the Kit they usually supply because they realized they were dealing with idiots
