"May You Live In Interesting Times": Brexit 2019

[emma_p]

This Priti Patel stuff is interesting. Alex Allan quitting is very telling.

[Ella]

Tell us more please .

[smalex]

Does it have a deeper meaning than him disagreeing with PP not being fired?

[Mountain Goat]

My sister is working at the Home Office now, with people very close to all this, and is TELLING ME NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE.

[emma_p]

Her “apology” was the classic non-apology. She’s awful. I think (hope) she’s a goner.

[Mountain Goat]

God, I hope so. Johnson is showing no signs of that though, or is he? *hopeful*

[sally maclennane]

She is utterly awful. I hate her for implementing such a harsh immigration policy when her parents were immigrants, none of us should be pulling up the ladder behind us.

[Pippedydeadeye]

She’s going nowhere.

[emma_p]

I think there’ll be a post-Brexit reshuffle.

[lazzbo]

She’s going nowhere.

Our only hope is Marcus Rashford launching an anti-bullying initiative.

[Mountain Goat]

Give him the weekend to get it all lined up and sorted.

[lazzbo]

Could not love that boy more. He's also going to win us the World Cup one day, but that's just his day job.

[Texaco Shirley]

I’ve had a soft spot for Rashford since he retweeted a pic of my friend’s son and his shrine to Man U.

[lazzbo]

He is a great human. The polar opposite of Priti shitting Patel. My pal worked with her and said she's even thicker than she comes across, which is quite a feat.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I can’t help but feel a teeny bit for PP that she might’ve fallen foul of the angry black [brown] woman stereotype. But she also sounds horrible, so.

[Loralei]

She doesn't come across as angry, more icily venal.

[lazzbo]

Yes, a sneering moron is how I see her.

[kiwi]

She's definitely got a face that you would like to remove the condescending grin from.

[Pippedydeadeye]

You know what I mean though, any assertive woman runs the risk of being written off as nasty.

I am not defending her, by any means! Just need to make that very clear.

[Rebel Pebble]

The arselicking tweets about PP from various mindlessly loyal MPs are embarrassing. They did the same for Johnson last week. The complete vacuum that is the woman who replaced Dominic Grieve in Beaconsfield was the worst.
