So you’re surprised that the highly decorated Dame who runs the Met Police won’t be investigating illegal Downing Street lockdown parties when her officers actually arrested women at a vigil for someone murdered by one of her own colleagues.

You haven’t been paying attention.
Cressida Dick went to Balliol College, Oxford, just like Johnson by the way. Mind you, so did I, so this means literally nothing. I do sometimes wonder about the tribal loyalties between some of them though.
Pressure works. Don’t expect any actual action, but they have at least been forced to look at it. Never stop the pressure. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Um, it’s the police that let people into Downing Street.
Just remembered that Johnson has always been firmly against the police looking at historic allegations.

Including, er, child abuse. He later denied saying this, despite it being on film.

No wonder he thinks an illegal lockdown party doesn’t matter.

‘Masks are dehumanising’.

Drowned child refugees, not so much.

It’s going to be an exhausting week.

Just someone who is very angry with the air ambulance service for rudely trying to save someone’s life. Bet they won’t be wearing a mask. #idiocracy

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
If anyone has lost their crystal meth lab I know who stole it. #covidiots #covidvariant #Omnicron #idiocracy

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.

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.
