paranoid android Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Anyone wondering whether this c**t has been sacked in an attempt to show Liz as an effective leader, and, therefore, in no way weak? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had the whip removed, not just lost his government job. Must have been getting proper handsy at the conference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I’m sure it’s a first offence. I’m sure there’s absolutely no history of such behaviour on Burns’ part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Orton Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 May I recommend the fantastic Rest Is Politics podcast with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart. Compelling listening where they continually destroy Truss, Johnson et al. Also covers political events round the globe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A truly evil vulgar individual. A pox on her. You would think people like Patel, Braverman and Kwarteng would be able to show the slightest bit of compassion for refugees coming in to the UK, wether they are using legal routes or not. Their families were afforded that opportunity in recent history, but listening to Patel and Braverman especially it seems like they have absolutely no empathy towards these people, and their Rwanda scheme is nothing short of pure evil. There really is no other word to describe the pair of them, they are nasty people who have benefitted from the UKs historically welcoming immigration policies, who are now pulling up the draw bridge behind them and sending hundreds of families to a country thousands of miles away which has extremely questionable human rights. I genuinely didn’t think the Rwanda scheme would ever happen when I first heard it suggested, and assumed enough sensible voices would shut it down. Obviously there isn’t that many sensible voices at the heart of this government, and to hear Braverman say that it’s her dream to see a front page where she can read about flights full of refugees being sent packing to Rwanda was sickening. By all accounts she is absolutely incompetent in to the bargain, and her tenure as Attorney General was a complete disaster, with standards of practice being absolutely decimated under her watch as well as regularly going against lawyers in order to side with Johnson’s government. An AG who knowingly broke the law on more than one occasion, that’s how low this government has dragged us. How she managed to get a promotion to Home Secretary we will never know, but the quicker she leaves that role the better or there’s going to be an awful lot of damage done to an awful lot of peoples lives. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Have the Home Office actually deported anyone to Rwanda yet? As far as I'm aware there have only been two attempts so far, both were halted, the last flight had a handful of people onboard and was stopped on the apron. Just for the record - I'm in no way intending to imply 'oh well what's all this rumpus about since it isn't actually happening anyway', on the contrary. It's an utterly reprehensible policy. The fact they haven't been able to successfully implement it is a testament to the fact that on top of being completely vile, it's being implemented by ideologues who can't actually legislate efficiently because they're being driven by malice and pandering to racist scum rather than coming up with sensible, rational policies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct that no flights have actually left yet, however it wasn’t for the want of trying, and if I recall correctly it was only a last minute appeal lodged at the Supreme Court just hours before the plane was due to take off which gave the last few families a reprieve. I think a kind hearted lawyer agreed to act on behalf of the remaining refugees who were still due to leave, and after the appeal went in the government decided it wouldn’t be a good look to send the plane with only a handful of people on board. Patel was adamant the plane was leaving right up until the morning it was supposed to go, and tried to find a legal loophole so that she could still send anyone who had lodged an appeal claiming that they would return anyone to the UK whos appeals were successful. That was rejected by a judge and she begrudgingly pulled the plug on the flight. Patel was a horrible, in-compassionate and downright nasty Home Secretary, but in Braverman they’ve managed to find the only person in Government that I think is even worse. A dangerous, dangerous woman who should be absolutely nowhere near this job. I remember I used to think Theresa May was a cold hearted HS, Braverman makes her look like Mother Theresa.
