Luckily it was only halted for an hour but that's not the point - as Home Secretary you really should know better... Unless of course you are a hateful bile-filled individual trying to to play to the mob. Oh wait.

The tory voters love her so that is all you need to know really. People who totally lack empathy should not be in any position of anything ever.
Idiotic, nasty, Brexity and with a huge chip on her shoulder. Tory leader within five years.

First against the wall or stabbed with a Bridport Dagger once the revolution comes!
Talking shit about how much is still coming by air.
Absolute BS.
Only a tiny% of imports and exports are transported by air.
once the revolution comes
It will never come. The average member if the 'great' british public will happily fight a stranger for a bag of Orzo pasta (which they had never heard of beforehand) - well I say 'fight' I mean snatch from their trolley whilst they're not looking.
But thinking about why it might be happening, maybe questioning their voting intentions?
Not a chance. Tell them it's all down to dirty foreigners and scroungers and it's job done. Wrap the message in a union jack just to be sure.
Argh, don’t start me on Pritti. One the GPs here where I work really likes her (surprising number of GPs are Tories) keeps saying stupid things like “she’s only 5’2” how can she bully anyone” and thinks she should be in charge of the vaccine rollout.
what is it about that the like?
There not much point in focusing on the strengths, intelligence, appearance of individual politicians although some rightly attract derision and ridicule. They are there to represent class interests (not ours) and are eminently replaceable. They do and will get handsomely rewarded for what they, Cummings got a 40k rise on being sacked. The focus on individual qualities implies that there's someone on the benches who is smarter, more charming/upper middle class and better looking who will do a better job. They will only do a better job in terms of presentation and concealment as they will still be actively representing their class interests.
Having said that, I'd love to see one of the resident ST statisticians compile the correlations between voting patterns, deceit, ugliness, dress sense, height and weight and averaged out we would presumably get the mean archetypes like Francois, Patel and Johnson.
stabbed with a Bridport Dagger
Not heard that phrase in a long time 🙂
surprising number of GPs are Tories
Not surprising to me. Would have typically been brought up in privileged middle class household, went to nice school, good grades to get onto medicine and then earn £100K a year.
They are a GP for their own benefit rather than yours.
Just thought I'd resurrect this thread in light of our beloved Home Secretaries latest escapades. For her latest photo-op, she's been accompanying police as they raid the premises of suspected people traffickers and illegal immigrants.

Clearly enjoying herself as she looks even smugger than usual.
She's going to be causing all manner of confusion with the gammons. She's brutally harsh on immigrants, but she's also... you know....
The tough approach on people traffickers is a bit of a front really.
She is the lowest of the low. Willing to ruthlessly target societies most vulnerable, and whomever her bosses deem unworthy, just to claw her way up in an institution that she thinks will reward her, when it actually hates her.
It's as pathetic as it is evil.
The low hanging fruit of illegal immigration, when non-existent border controls exposed the entire population to hugely unnecessary covid risk.
10,000 people coming into the country every day, for an entire year, before any kind of feeble border controls were introduced...but yeah, it's the 8,000 a year illegal immigrants that are the problem.
She is desperate to show the tory faithful she is one of them by pandering to their prejudices. Unfortunately for her she is too brown to succeed.
A truly vile woman and corrupt as hell.
That's nothing to do with protecting the vulnerable and exploited and everything to do with rounding them up and sending them back home. She needs firing into the sun.
Jesus! I've just seen the official Home Office release on it. Its even more sinister...

I don't think she is pandering to anyone. I think she fully believes it.
Unfortunately for her she is too brown to succeed.
What's your bar for 'success'? She's Home Secretary, there's literally only one job higher than hers in government (officially, though perhaps Chancellor is more prestigious).
I dislike her as much as the next rational person, but I don't think you can call her a failure.
She gets a bespoke badge on her jacket. Fancy. Clearly plans to get some use out of it on a few more raids.
I like the rad 'tear it up' music. Goes well with her badass uncompromising expression.
This reply about he badge was quite funny.

She is the epitome of an empathyless scumbag.
Fair, people traffickers need to be nicked, but the trafficked should be given a go, if you have risked it all to get here you have already shown you are not a slacker.
Superficial
I dislike her as much as the next rational person, but I don’t think you can call her a failure.
pretty (Priti) obvious that TJ meant she'll fail at "show[ing] the tory faithful she is one of them"
The only thing more horrific than Priti Patel is the fact that she is supported but a large chunk or majority of the electorate. That makes me feel so sad.
"Treating innocent lives as a commodity and lining their pockets while people die".
Pretty much the whole tory ethos right there.

You can just imagine the response on the Daily Heil web feed. They are literally thwapping themselves into a frenzy
She's clearly positioning herself for a run at the top job once Boris exits

Well either she's been accepted by the Tories for who she is, or she's successfully pulled the wool over their eyes, or she's proven herself to be useful to them, even if she's not white, male and middle-aged.
Tories are a collective of people with certain political views - even if racism and xenophobia are more common among them, they are not defined by their race. Priti is sociopathic enough that she fits in quite well.
No need to bring her race into it. IMO.

An even bigger advert for Scottish Independence than Boris and that was quite a statement to type!
Have we done Pretty Vacant sending the boys round if you dare to go on an Amber holiday?
Wow.

That is about one of the few intelligent things they are doing.
The reliance on people actually keeping to self quarantine was always a tad optimistic.
Last years approach of calling them and if they didnt answer just giving up wasnt really the way you would keep covid from getting reestablished after all the effort of a lockdown.

TJ nails it.
If you look at some of the most enthusiastic Nazis when it came to Aryan superiority, you tend to notice that many of them, er, didn't exactly look the part themselves....
Himmler was small, short sighted, buck-toothed and nowhere near the 'blonde superman' ideal.
Goring was dark-haired and fat.
Hess was dark-haired and buck-toothed.
As for Goebbels - how he didn't avoid being done in..... He actually looked very similar to the caricatures his propaganda ministry put out as 'the archetypal jew'.
But that has always been the way. Those with an obvious weakness or 'defect' (when compared to the supposed 'ideal') can often be relied upon to be even more nasty and extreme because they feel the need to over-compensate.
She makes my skin crawl.
Edit: I give up, I have no mental/typing ability this week.

That can happen. I still find it incomprehensible how so many people cannot or will not recognise what is happening to this country...😥

Hitler had only one ball.
Actually it was Franco who was wounded in the stones.
Franco
Another nasty little short-arse who was the antithesis of the 'ideal' he liked to portray (or in the case of the Army of Africa) lead. Little man, big attitude.
Franco was, first and foremost, a weasely opportunist who only pounced when the cards were as stacked in his favour as they could be. An organiser in the initial stages who came to the fore at the most advantageous (for him) time.
So can we agree short people are evil? Works for me.
