Thick and evil. What a wonderful combination in a politician.

"Imagine being a heterosexual white male in Britain at this moment. How bad is that. Everything you say is racist, everything you say is homophobic. The Woke community have really f****d this country."

It comes across like, having joined the Tory party from an ethnic minority(and with parents who are refugees) she feels the need to overcompensate for the fact that she's not white just to fit in.
I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

Just one small problem; sell their houses to who, Ben? Fcking Aquaman?

You know the right love to pull up the ladder once they've climbed up.

All those claiming there'll be civil disobedience if this or that course is followed, as though it is an understandable response, seem completely oblivious to the risk and consequences of civil disobedience starting up in NI.
Unbelievably stupid and dangerous.

wow, just wow
When my sister was in civil service, apparently people would refuse to go and brief her in person because she was just so rude, she would just scream at people for no reason.

..And like many other Ministers who behave like that, she was allowed to blunder into a protocol trap by her Civil Servants: the classic payback for Nasty Pieces Of Work.

Priti Patel is a deeply unpleasant woman and her comments regarding Ireland and food shortages are abhorrent given the historical context.
That is all that needed to be said. Bringing up her ethnicity and her parents status as refugees is at best patronising. As are some of the replies your post has gathered.
It's like patting her on the head and saying that "nice refugee girl, you should be grateful all that our country has given you so you should reciprocate that goodwill to others".
I'm sure it's not intentional but it doesn't read well.
She should be judged in the same way you would judge somebody from the right such as Iain Duncan Smith or John Redwood had they made the same comments. Her ethnicity and her parents background are irrelevant.

That's not how it read to me.
Oh GB. Why can't you just condemn something distasteful from the right without adding a 'but', or seizing on it to take a pop at another poster? Poor form old bean.

I did condemn it. She's an awful woman. It was Badger who added the "but" by bringing up her ethnicity and her parents status as refugees.
So the first point he makes I agree with and condemn her. The second point I take issue with. It really isn't that hard to understand unless you are looking for another row.
Perhaps you can tell me what her ethnicity and her parents status as refugees have to do with what she said?
Why can't she just be a horrible woman who has said something which is deeply offensive?
Read back what badger said : "It comes across like, having joined the Tory party from an ethnic minority(and with parents who are refugees) she feels the need to overcompensate for the fact that she's not white just to fit in".
He's saying that a person from her background can't be a nasty piece of work in her own right. She is having to overcompensate.
When that has been said about woman overcompensating in the boardroom it has rightly been pointed out as sexist.
I'm also not having a pop at Badger who is the most sound and consistent poster on here when it comes to all thing race and equality. Hence the reason I said that I doubt it was intentional.

Protocol trap?
