[ruffneck23]

excuse the red top link

Priti Patel's officials 'brand her a moron' over 'erratic and outlandish ideas'

The Home Secretary has issued a joint statement with her most senior official after she was plunged into a vicious briefing war with her own staff

I suppose the lives of migrants and asylum seekers are of secondary concern to playing to the gallery. 'Tough' talk rather than acting with decency and responsibility.

Heartbreaking account from Lewis Goodall. More people dead from capsized small boats. Utter nightmare for these people. British and French governments seem incapable of treating them decently.

Don’t worry de Pfeffel has set up a meeting of Cobra to sort it all out.

But will he

This is heartbreaking. Those poor people.

Living down here now, it's noticeable how much this splits people. Half of them are calling people scum for taking some refugees to a war memorial, others are organising groups to try to help them.

If anything good comes from today then maybe some of the former will realise that these people are just people. This needs to be fixed. Now.

yeh i listened to yvette cooper on the toady programme this morning and she was going right into the inefficiencies rather than the inhumanity. maybe a great number of people in this country think refugees should be drowned or kept in concentration camps in france or whatnot, but i believe there's a very large number of people who don't see this competition of cuntiness as pleasant and would like to see these unfortunate wretches given decent treatment. there's a very easy way to undermine the people traffickers and that's to open up a legal, safe route to the uk. it's a way to show a clear difference between the uk and the eu. and it's the decent thing to do. which is why neither the abominable tory party or the lamentable labour party will do it.

Kerry Godliman was good on the subject of Patel on The Last Leg last night.

This isn't limited to Patel, but I do find it hilarious that the more the tories rant about stopping refugees, the more seem to be getting here.

The more you make it sound like some new draconian measures will be put in place imminently, the more people will rush to get in ahead of them.

If the piss the French off enough the french will start putting them on the Eurostar to Ashfield

Which is the sort of tragicomic problem - the way to resolve this is pay for them to be diverted on the way to the U.K. - but the gammon won’t have that either.

Why will they send them to Glasgow?

Priti Patel’s own staff launch legal challenge against inhumane policy

Priti Patel’s own staff have announced that they are launching a legal challenge against her inhumane policy of pushing back boats in the Channel.

The union representing Border Force staff, PCS, and the charity Care4Calais, are demanding the Home Office publish details of the policy and the legal basis for it....

5 twats and a banner. They can shout all they like, but the rest of humanity isn't quite that shit. Yet, anyway.

I need to keep re reading that. Feel like I'm in a quick sand of shit today and that has helped my mood

There's enough to have a pop at about Patel without stooping to what she looks like, which is not on IMO

They've been doing this every few weeks in Calais for over a decade now.

And people wonder why they are trying so desperately to get out of France...

I thought they were headed this way because of existing ties, language etc.
