She's evil and always has been. May was an appalling Home Sec too. It's as if they have to show how bigoted they can possibly be in that roll to stand a chance of further progression in the party.

I think they will go a fair bit further yet. Wait until after 31 January when we have no deal with the EU and they have even less leverage on this miserable crew.

Trying to politicise the judiciary and painting them as 'lefties', and therefore the current government bogeyman, is straight out of the fascist textbook. Bunch of utter kunts.

Yep, the lowest of the low. By appealing to people's base instincts they suck some people in though.

Fk this government and anyone who voted for them needs to have a long, hard look at themselves.

It's mad how the Tories accuse Labour of being weak on national security and crime and sneering at ordinary people, when Priti Patel met foreign diplomats behind our government's back, co-authored a book calling British workers "among the worst idlers" and is now using rhetoric to incite violence against a profession.

They're now just following the Trump tactics of " I know you are, but what am I?"

On a tengent, the Tipping Point's latest epidsode was about how after May's immigration vans and other cheap tricks there was amassive spike in victims of crime being reported to the immigration service.

A woman was kidnapped and raped for six months in Germany and fled here. After she finally got enough help to be able to tell the police, they moved her on to people to get her deported.

A sex-worker (from Brazil) I think was attacked and robbed and the police went after her not her attackers so she could be deported.

This is in the last decade not the last year. Yet it's going under the radar.

On a slightly different note, this kind of thing does highlight the failings of education policy and mantal health provision in this country that we have so many people falling under deranged conspiracy theories (e.g. race replacement) which go beyond merely odd and into the realms of being actually dangerous.

It’s insane that the Home Secretary who should be all over this to protect the UK population is one of the most serious perpetrators.

Just another example of how we’ve got things @rse about face in our relationship with politicians and the media. We serve their interests.

Have you read "The Strange Death of Europe"?

This attack is wrong and I hope the person who did it gets the book thrown at them.

Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me. Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing. Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial. Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.

I don't get it. I thought these people prided themselves on being proud patriots. Instead, they're carrying on like supporting the Katie Hopkins for people who like to say 'I can't be racist, I voted for a brown person' is a shameful thing.

The very premise of that book strikes me as rubbish. The idea that European culture is a fixed and ancient thing which is being "destroyed" by this particular wave of immigration.

In reality, the culture of Europe has been shaped by continuous waves of migration and invasion - cultural and pysical, within the continent as well as from outside - over the centuries. From the music we enjoy to the food we eat.

What do you think of Patel's comments HB?

Not having a pop or looking for a row, but surely we can agree that those in power stoking anger and division like this is a bad thing?

Hampstead's whole shtick is to offer a book that has been really poorly researched and largely discredited in lieu of an actual reasoned argument.

I don't think she is/has stoked the kind of hatred to cause such an attack.

She is setting out a strong and defined position. Said position sits outside Europe's open to all, and I mean all, policy.

There are nutters everywhere looking for something to latch onto. This person and their ilk are at the extreme margin. So much so that no person can be held responsible for their actions.

Ok, I guess the lawyers in question obviously see it very differently though.

It's not her position that's the problem (although I vehemently disagree with it) it's her effectively casting those opposing it, through our judicial system, as the enemy.
