I'd love to have been a fly on the wall:

Sue Ellen: You are a load of tofu eaters form North London.
Civil Servants: Patient Silence.

Sue Ellen: You are Woke traitors.
Civil Servants: Patient Silence.

Sue Ellen: You are the North London Blob.
Civil Servants: Patient Silence.

Sue Elllen: You are cultural marxists.
Civil Servants: Patient Silence.

Sue Ellen: I've got some trouble with a speeding ticket, can you doa bit of extra and try to get me off.
Civil Servants: Karmatic Silence.

BBC News: Rishi Sunak says Suella Braverman did not breach ministerial code

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65694017

Is Braverman goading Sunak into a leadership fight?

Rishi Sunak decides not to order inquiry into Suella Braverman speeding row

[Yug]

I'm not normally one to advocate violence against the person, but in Braverman's case I'm willing to make an exception. The foul filth needs to be dragged from her office and hanged from the nearest lamppost.

Here's the latest episode in an illustrious career of committing crimes against humanity.

Secret Home Office policy to detain people with NHS debt at airport found unlawful

Policy was uncovered by defenders of two women repeatedly detained when trying to re-enter the UK

https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... d-unlawful

...The policy applied to those with unpaid NHS debts and was only uncovered through evidence gathered from charities and lawyers fighting the cases of two mothers who were repeatedly detained.

The women were held at ports when trying to re-enter the UK after trips abroad to visit family, because they had outstanding debts to the NHS for maternity care – debts which Home Office was aware of when granting them leave to remain in the UK.

While the women were only detained with their children for short periods they did not know when they would be released.

Border Force officials detained and investigated them because they were flagged on the Home Office system as having unpaid NHS debts.

In a judgment handed down today Mr Justice Chamberlain found that the two women and their young children were falsely imprisoned by the home secretary without justification. He also found that Suella Braverman had breached her duty to consider the equality impact of the policy on women, who are known to be disproportionately affected by NHS charging...

With some of them you could assume over-zealous civil servants were implementing a policy to excess and the minister wouldn't know about it. With her you know they are carrying out a direct policy to the letter. I don't think it's over-exaggerating now to say that while they might not agree with the Final Solution, this Cabinet would happily have governed Vichy France.

[Tubby Isaacs]

More from honest Rishi's government. Thank God he's restored standards.

Nicked from elsewhere


I was browsing in a bookshop and the lady working there said are you looking for anything in particular?
I said yes I’m looking for Suella Braverman's book on illegal immigrants and stopping the small boats? She said Fuck off, get out and stay out!
In said yes that's the one, do you have it paperback?

[Yug]

With trust in the police at an all-time low, Braverman has a cunning plan to drive it even lower

The home secretary has told police leaders to "ramp up" the use of stop-and-search powers to prevent more knife attacks and "save more lives".

In a message to all 43 forces in England and Wales, Suella Braverman said the "dangerous culture" of carrying weapons must end.

She also called on forces to publish bodycam footage quickly to stop police facing "trial by social media".

Opponents of stop-and-search say it unfairly targets ethnic minorities...

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65945415.amp

While knife crimes must be stamped out, I'm not sure ordering racist thugs to harass ethnic minorities is quite the right way to go about it.

[Crabcakes]

I think Braverman is stupid enough that she believes the fascist nonsense she no doubt reads on Twitter above actual verified stats, so for her stopping and searching more black people is right because she thinks they are the problem and the evidence just needs to be found, just like all grooming gangs are actually Pakistani and all asylum seekers are working age benefit-seeking economic migrants.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... -disbanded

When you're on a roll, don't stop. What with all the commemorations of the docking of the Windrush, what better time to disband the unit set up to reform the Home Office to ensure we never have another scandal?

In the five years since the government first apologised for misclassifying thousands of Commonwealth-born people living legally in the UK as illegal immigrants, successive home secretaries have promised to oversee “comprehensive reform” of Home Office to ensure a similar scandal could never be repeated.

Over the past six months, Braverman has been forced to acknowledge that she had dropped key commitments, which would have increased independent scrutiny of immigration policies.

Analysis published in February of progress towards meeting 30 agreed post-Windrush reform promises showed just eight had been met, 13 had been partially met and nine had not been met or dropped.

Work was ongoing on assessing the effectiveness of “hostile environment” legislation (which requires immigration checks before people can access work, benefits and services). A commitment to identify victims proactively, particularly non-Caribbean people, was not complete. Among other things, a promise to improve the UK visa and immigration customer service was also not deemed to have been completed; work on ensuring civil servants highlighted to ministers how vulnerable people may be affected by new policies was also not finished.

Staff working on the compensation side of things are being told to relocate to Sheffield or face redundancy. Otherwise, gesture made, move along.

[Bones McCoy]

Last night, Facebook showed me a post from the Royal Mail.
They'll be issuing a set of stamps to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Windrush arrivals.

I may have arrived at an unfortunate time.
The post had attracted 170 comments, all of which had been hidden (as inappropriate).
A little later they had all gone.

Home Office in the news for all the wrong reasons - again

The Home Office has been accused of leaving people homeless by outbidding councils in a fierce competition for scarce accommodation.

Several local authorities have lost out to a Home Office contractor finding properties to house asylum seekers.

The number of people in England having to stay in temporary accommodation is near record levels.

Asked on three separate occasions why its contractor paid more than councils can, the Home Office refused to say...

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65984461.amp

How about employing a few (hundred) more 'woke blobs' to help with clearing the backlog of asylum claims?

A few for for Starmer to ask at next PMQs:

Why is the British taxpayer paying more to house illegal immigrants* than to house homeless British people? Why are there so many homeless British people? What are the government doing to clear the backlog of asylum claims?

The Tories have once again presented LOTO with an open goal. I'm sure he knows what to do with it.


*Yep. Use the sort of language that the government's client press, and their knuckle-dragging readers, find difficult to ignore. That way, tha fact that the Tories are failing badly on yet another issue might make it into a few more thick skulls.

Party of fiscal responsibility

It could cost an estimated £63,000 more to send a migrant to a "safe country" such as Rwanda than to keep them in the UK, the government has said.

An economic impact assessment of the Illegal Migration Bill, which is going through Parliament, found a gross cost of £169,000 to relocate an individual.

But the estimated £106,000 spent on housing support if they remained in the UK would be avoided...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66022219

My bold

We can avoid paying £106, 000 by paying only £169,000. Bargain!

[Crabcakes]

But remember, priced into that £169,000 is being unspeakably cruel to foreign types. And given the self-destructive arseholes who voted for brexit are often quite happy to see their own families significantly worse off, for some I suspect this is still a bargain.

One assumes that £106,000 housing support goes to UK based landlords, housing associations or other "local" providers.
There's a chance t might get spent here in the UK.

The £169,000 - we don't have a breakdown, but I assume a decent wedge goes overseas.

Secure accommodation, G4S guards, plane charters, legal fees, backhanders...

I can see how a lot of that would quickly return to Tory pockets.

[Youngian]

Or is it the result the Tories wanted? Lefty lawyers undermining the will of the people.

[Yug]

It's all very well calling for an Asylum policy that treats people with respect and dignity, but when you don't believe asylum seekers are *proper* people...

The woke blob strikes again.
