The ongoing stupidity of Home Secretary Priti Patel

[izz]

Maybe I've missed it but I can't believe there's been no reaction from her or the government to the no confidence thing. What times we live in.

Patel would use her own claws.

Comes to something when you create a hostile environment....for the fucking coastguard!

Minor driving offenses FFS.

Minor driving offences are ok if you're white or an MP.

Nonono, it's all a false front. She is being charming to Johnson so that, when she has found the Macbeth to her Lady Macbeth, and had him drive the knife into the liar's back, she can stand there, all cheekbones and pout, and profess complete innocence.

He can’t be Macbeth as Macbeth was too full of the milk of human kindness, he’s done nothing but ‘take milk for gall.’

if I remember leaving cert Macbeth correctly

Major driving offences like running someone over while driving on the wrong side of the road are ok if you are the wife of a diplomat.

I did "Julius Caesar", so maybe it's more about her finding her Brutus...

She's obviously just in thrall to her PM and will do anything to please....

Not saying the Patel is personally responsible for this but she most probably knew or at least signed off on it. Pretty disgusting:

Home Office set up fake website to deter asylum seekers from crossing Channel with ‘misleading’ claims

Exclusive: ‘On The Move’ website claims to offer ‘reliable information’ but does not disclose government affiliation

Short thread on it here:

the NZ government have issued a formal public apology for their 1970s enforcement following much the same awful shit our government has been doing. New Zealand Dawn Raids: Jacinda Ardern formally apologises

do you think it ever registers with Patel? even for a second a "are we the baddies?" moment

 

[Steel Icarus]

No

Highly unlikely.

Patel knows she is the baddie and revels in it

She knows she is something. I suspect she'd be using words like "tough" and "decisive" in her internal monologue, rather than "baddie", though

people generally don't tend to lean back in the big chair, steeple their fingers and do the laugh. They construct a worldview where they are right and correct and these actions however shitty can be rationalized away as the Job.
