This was way over the top but it seems in keeping with how they have been policing protests outside of the conference centre.

Must admit, I got the sense of some set up, didn't seem "quite right"

In 1981 a couple of Right to Work protesters got in and started heckling the Evil Witch. Fair does, she responded with a couple of (almost certainly scripted) jokes and came out of it well. Not so Braverman.

She actually railed against "diversity, equity and inclusion"?

She's as stupid as she is rotten.

Classic ladder-puller.

The PC arriving on cue after Boff’s barely audible heckle does look like he warned about his intervention in advance. Perhaps he fancies being the liberal gay Tory rebel mayoral candidate when Susan Hall is dumped. Boff is a prize pratt, anyway.

Doesn’t seem they like free speech too much.

She's not going to shag you, Qunt.

Actually, she might. You're made for each other.

Considerable amount of sick came up there...

I must admit, I got him down as still being in the wardrobe

Her last speech (From the soundbyte) "We were the gentle wave, but modern migration is the hurricane".


She's now playing Michael Bates' Rangi Ram from It ain't half hot mum.

"We British" Vs "You Bladdy Coolies".


I really hope the younger generation will turn out and vote this time.
Deliver the mother of all landslides.
Show this lot that you can't have first Nuremburg without second Nuremburg.

Then the Home Secretary herself was in our midst, loping towards the lectern in dove-grey power suit and nude shoes, hair cascading over her shoulders.

Nude shoes, eh ? Phoawarrrurrrghhh!

I am not touching that Letts article with a bargepole, but would I be right in thinking it's framed as a 'brave' and 'provocative' speech, railing against 'metropolitan smugness' by 'speaking truth'?

Care to guess this week's lottery numbers, Red?

"properly spellbinding, dramatically assured", and erm, "wig-lifting".

Yeah, but did the handful of geriatric freikorpsers in the audience stir from their slumber.

Subtle bit of lazy racism there too by the reliably cowardly Qunt. 'Nude' for Braverman would not be the same as for, say - Truss or Thatcher.

Gotta appeal to all the bases, and all that.

Even her own paramilitary forces have had enough of her

Senior police officers have told i they are “sick” of the Government pushing them to “reach beyond the law” to arrest protesters for “political gain” following a row over a pro-Palestinian rally.

A senior Met officer told i that those within the force were frustrated with Home Secretary Suella Braverman after she criticised them for failing to arrest protesters chanting “jihad” in London over the weekend.

Another senior policing source accused Ms Braverman of making the job of policing even harder and said that politicians should not be involved in operational matters...

I can think of several other governments which took direct political control of their police forces, and none of them I'd like to see replicated in the UK.

Well it was ok for Maggie,

Until the truth came out.

Good point,must admit my first point of reference was the miners strike

In my mind, the government's response to Hillsborough was a side effect of the Miner's strike.

They'd divided the plebs into "for us or against us".

Plucky South Yorkshire Coppers - with their recent Orgreave battle honours -had to be protected.

Orrible football fans, esp from Liverpool - Expendables. Or for the real nasties "Had it coming".
