The ongoing stupidity of Home Secretary Priti Patel

[Cerv]

Airlines and travel firms face millions in claims after applying wrong passport rules

Exclusive: Thousands of passengers unlawfully denied boarding because the UK government misinterpreted EU borders code

www.independent.co.uk

the home office, under Patel, continues to issue incorrect guidance to airlines & the public. even after being informed of their error.
this is going to rack up a significant bill for compensation.

Well the very same mop-haired cunt has himself been sacked twice, in two different industries, both times for lying. Yet now he's in Number Ten.

ah well we were wrong with this one:

Priti Patel says she has ‘a lot of compassion and cares deeply about people’

‘I always put names and faces first’, says home secretary

time to bin the thread

Priti Patel: Middle-class drug users will be named and shamed

In an interview with The Telegraph, the Home Secretary says police will be told to drug test every arrested person to cut violent crime

Clearly another headline grabber, but what exactly is the point of this?

This could backfire. Given that - outside the loonysphere that is right-wing Tory politics - attitudes towards drug use are becoming more informed, and tolerant, I suspect that the naming and "shaming" will be met with "Huh? So what?"

I'm a (probably) middle class drug user, and my main concern is the prospect of a criminal record. If the police were to "out" me for using a bit of weed, I think I'd embrace it. I'm not going to be shamed by a government that lies, steals, and kills, and appears to consider itself completely unaccountable.

given the length of time it takes to deal with each arrested person at the moment, i can't see this being entirely welcomed by the police.

i'm not sure what drug testing involves. would one test pick up eg mushrooms and amphetamines? and if someone's taking opioids on doctor's orders what happens then? not to mention the blockage in labs which would have to handle these tests superquick while people were still in custody

 

[Ground Elder]

I suspect Patel means that she intends to have a few of those lefty woke BBC celebrities nicked and then we can all move on

The labour shortage is forcing companies to stop drug testing their employees

“The Great Resignation” is in full force, with U.S. employees quitting their jobs at higher rates than ever before. 65 per cent of employees were seeking new roles in August, while Microsoft predicted that over 40 percent of Americans would leave their positions by the end of 2021. Now...

Employers doing away with drug testing policies as they can't replace the staff shows she really has her finger on the pulse of this issue.
they only way she could name and shame me would be if i tested negative.

 

[two sheds]

Shows how important drug testing really is to peoples' performance. If it were serious they'd need it even more what with having fewer employees.

So shitting reactive populism. This lot don’t even play at having an ethos any more. Carpetbagger scum

There’s kids stabbing each other 24/7 around here abs she is bothered about fucking weekend drug users. She is negligently ignorant

You are too kind in your description of the woman.

Blah blah investigation on why the police service is not fit for purpose. Blah blah giving the cops more powers. Virtually in the same sentence. A vicious shallow fucking imbecile

She is thick as mince, vindictive and totally unrestrained by Cabinet colleagues or that fuckwit Johnson.

Boris Johnson on using cocaine: ‘I tried it at university and I remember it vividly’​

 

[Elpenor]

Sounds like she’s trying to eliminate other contenders for the top job

 

[Serene]

She has plans to build work-camps for remainers, to educate them about the glorious future they have after brexit.
