Priti Patel’s refugee pushback policy withdrawn days before legal review
Government lawyers confirm Home Office plan to force small boats back to France has been abandoned
abandons another policy knowing that the courts would rule against them.
still, it grabbed the headlines in the first place. and that's all she cares about. not actually accomplishing anything.

It boils my piss, the way the Government let this go all the way down to the wire every fucking time, and then backs out when the scrutiny is just about inevitable.Priti Patel’s refugee pushback policy withdrawn days before legal review

It reminds me very much of something a copper once told me about how child sex abusers often maintain a "not guilty" stance right up until witnesses actually appear in court on the date of the trial before changing their plea to "guilty", on the basis that witnesses/complainants often lose their nerve and don't turn up, allowing the perpetrator to be acquitted.

yeh and on the other hand they say oh we're so welcoming to ukrainian refugees but then they make it as hard as possible for them to get in. they're vile scum.

Yeah, there have been a lot of stories lately which amply demonstrate the scummy way in which they're playing the "computer says no" game to completely hamstring perfectly legitimate refugees. It's appalling, and not a little embarrassing - "yes, I'm a citizen of a country which doesn't even have the balls to admit it won't take Ukrainian refugees when everyone else is falling over themselves to take them in"

I've just reported Patel's latest Rwanda Facebook ad as a scam. If it pops up in your feed, please do the same.

Not to diminish the inevitable suffering of those on whom this appalling policy is inflicted, but they will end up demonstrating the moral paucity of this horrible approach.This makes me angry and this government gets worse and worse. All to try and save Johnson's job.

I don't think it's intended to be a moral policy. It's designed to appeal to the sort of ghouls for whom hatred of others takes precedence over any kind of morality.
Patel is in the HS post because she's evil. She's not suffering from some kind of malfunction here.

This. Totally unprincipled power-grabbing power hogs.

This is immoral, deliberately so. The fact that they use the oxymoronic phrase 'illegal asylum seekers' gives the game away.
I plumb new depths of hatred every day. Fucking cunts they are, and proud of it.

She is stupid, but this thread should be renamed "the ongoing wickedness of Priti Patel."

In the case of the odious home secretary, surely the meaning would be clear.

she is nefandous, abominable, amoral, vicious, villainous, evil, depraved, iniquitous, worthless and unprincipled. i do not believe the depths of her awfulness allow sufficient characterisation by any single word.
