It’s 20 years since I had to ask a PR firm to remove Priti Patel from the account of the conservation charity I was running because she was so rude to our junior staff, and I see she is still being uninvited to meetings even now she holds one of the great offices of state.

It is a complex issue, everyone accepts this. Therefore, more than most jobs, the challenge calls for someone with intelligence, empathy, diplomatic skills, and a person capable of serious thought. It is hard to imagine a worse Home Secretary in these circumstances. #Refugees
I mean really. 🤦🏻‍♂️
Imagine wanting this. #SackPritiPatel #RefugeesWelcome #idiocracy
Absolutely👇
We probably shouldn’t have thrown all our spare vaccines in the bin whilst Africa remained largely unvaccinated.

Yet another example of why ‘not our problem’ politics is such a terrible idea. #Omnicron #coronavirus #COVID19
They are PEOPLE. Just like you and me. How could a woman like this not enrich any society lucky enough to have her. We have to rediscover our humanity, and quickly.
🙏

This is where we are tonight. British ‘happy’ fish in a graveyard. #RefugeesWelcome

Lots of people who don’t remotely mind terrified, freezing refugees drowning in the Channel will shortly appear here, incandescent with rage that they may be required to wear a piece of fabric over their nose & mouth for 15 mins when they’re in a shop.

Someone just told me that their ancestors fought for their right not to comply with mask mandates, and now I want the earth to swallow me. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #covidiots #covidvariant #COVID19

Unfortunately we have a government whose faux sadness at yesterday's tragedy is trumped by its serious consideration of jet skis, wave machines, and manoeuvres that could result in drowning, a policy so heinous that Border Force wants no part in it.

This isn't civilised policy.
You can’t just wang on about having a ‘returns’ policy, these are human beings not a fucking Amazon delivery. #idiocracy #Refugees #ToryShambles
The ‘all lives matter’ people mean ‘only all white lives matter’ and the many of the comments in this cesspit of toxicity today reveal their true views yet again.

Shall we call them ‘people’. Just for today?
Please watch this. Patel should hang her head in shame. It’s a complex issue, yes, but her rhetoric & approach make everything infinitely worse.

No civilised country would behave in this way. Don’t read the comments beneath this or you’ll see the sort of society she has created.
Here is a very good explainer from @ZoeJardiniere on the refugee issue - some handy facts for the ‘why don’t they just stay in France’ racist brigade. It’s a must-watch actually, not least for the dignity with which she handles a frothy-mouthed idiotic MP.

It’s worth trying to sit through this whole clip and then estimating how many brain cells in your head died during the process.
It’s the end, if you can make it that far. It’s amazing.
Imagine being a grown up and finding yourself on the radio with a straight face talking about Peppa and Daddy Pig as role models and someone who just embarrassed your country to the world, again, being a great communicator, or writing tweets like this when you are over 16.

The Culture Secretary, who is in charge of broadcasting, doesn’t go on any news programmes and is proud of this fact.

This is like a health secretary refusing to visit a hospital.

Sack these awful people.
#ToryShambles #JohnsonOut #TorySewageParty
This is a very good point
This is why the person in charge of the nation’s news media doesn’t do news interviews. It’s because a baby armadillo that had been dropped in a vat of LSD would do better. In this exhibit, she bemoans the lack of MEPs and Commissioners after #Brexit 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Priti Patel’s brilliant scheme to attract the best minds in the world to global Britain is going, well, much as you’d expect.

Just Murdoch’s Times. The PM is on his way out. 👀 Image
Good morning from Peppa Pig World, formerly known as Great Britain. #idiocracy #BrexitBritain Image
