TBF, when I robbed that branch of Banklays, I was working fully and closely with their staff.

So, no extension to the deadline for the UK's settled status scheme, despite all the promises that there wouldn't be any such thing.

Nothing, it seems, will stand in the way of Patel's wet dream of scooping up the gammon vote.

Dream on...

"The British people voted against freedom of movement"
David Frost

Which explicitly doesn't rule out "Compulsory Movement".

It was Frost's reply when asked why the UK 'government' didn't negotiate easy European visas for musicians and actors.

They wouldn't have needed to negotiate very hard, either. The EU offered it automatically, and the British team declined.

I was thinking about Pretti's latest wheeze in stopping issuing visa's for tourists arriving from countries which she has deemed as not taking in immigrants that pass through. I'm sure this diplomatic stance is going to be ever so helpful to any discussions the Foreign and Commonwealth office may need to have with said countries

I think she is confusing "taking in" with "detaining".

Christ Johnny Mercer having a go at Priti Patel.

Hacked. He must have been hacked.

Tyrone Mings: Not just a lethal in the air Centre Back

Tyrone Mings: England defender hits out at Home Secretary Priti Patel after racist abuse directed towards players

You don't get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as 'Gesture Politics' & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we're campaigning against, happens.

"Welcome to the game Priti," as Roy Keane might have quipped.

Fantastic by Mings.

I read that out over pudding to the Kreuzette. "Your island is fuckin' mental", said she.

Voice of reason, Steve Baker, tries to talk the Tories out of their Patel twattery on kneeling footballers.

Baker is an odd one. Don't doubt that he's genuine here- seen him praise David Lammy's justice ideas before when there was no obvious reason for him to do so. But he's got a few citizens of nowhere and quite a large non-white population in his constituency, so it makes sense for him to distinguish himself from Rosindell and co.

I can undrstand Mercer, and a few others.
Baker I always had penned in as one of the bitter end headbangers.

No need to repeat Baker's credentials here.
Maybe some calmer heads are noticing how the culture wars are spinning out of control.

Maybe he's "doing a Nadhim Zahawi" and rowing back from a poorly chosen battle.
Close enough to "Get brexit done" to not be a traitorous wet, but speak truth to the party animals at the top.

Black caller on LBC yesterday afternoon suggested that Priti Patel hates black people because of her family's experience at the hands of Idi Amin, not an angle which had occurred to me. What do the panel think?

I heard that and it might make some sense.

That doesn't make much sense. Hating Ugandans, *maybe*. Hating a 26 year-old from Bedford for something that happened in East Africa 40 years ago is barking, and another example of why she's unfit for public office.

I think she hates blacks because she's unintelligent and small-minded.
