What's that one we stuck Napoleon on, Tristan de Martel or whatever? She could go there.

Pistol_Pete posted:She is! It was a dumb tweet, because it could easily be interpreted as: "Why not deport Patel; she isn't properly British anyway ('cos she's brown)." I don't think he's a racist but it isn't a good look. "She should be deported from her job." or something like that would have been better.

Pitcairn is our one claim to being a Pacific country, it got brought up in our CPTPP application. Britain has long ties to the Pacific, including... oh no oh no.

Pitcairns seem like the platonic ideal of Tory society - insular, xenophobic, dourly religious inbred paedos. All Tory MPs should be banished there

Pistol_Pete posted:In keeping with the trend of Labour gently caress-ups, this guy's totally going to win the Unite leadership election and then him and Labour are going to refuse to talk to each other. This would be the maximum banter timeline outcome but I seem to remember Beckett not being particularly good. Trying to find out why but he doesn't have much of a profile.

The Perfect Element posted:It was a terrible tweet, and I do think that strong action needed to be taken, because otherwise the rags would just say 'RACIST SENIOR UNION FIGURE SAYS PRITI PATEL "SHOULD BE DEPORTED"' Also lmao at anyone clutching their pearls at the mere suggestion that Patel be deported whilst casually turning a blind eye to the tens of thousand of people actually being deported in reality. e: huh, there was another page

Yeah quivering in our boots about a dumb tweet is exactly the sort of thing that we need not to be doing, and the sort of thing that could easily end up as the next anti-semitism. The left should do everything it can to keep the focus on actually-existing injustice, not collapse into a black hole of introspection and flagellation for the world to see every time someone says something mildly out of line.

It would, in fact, be a net good for the whole world if patel and the rest of the government was fired into the sun, so I don't really see much to complain about tbh.

The amount of delta-v required to do that would be much more usefully applied in firing every landlord into a parabolic trajectory straight into the North Atlantic. (Yes I've been playing Kerbal Space Program again, does it show?)

Borrovan posted:Yeah, Patel is British, the proper term is exiled. Yeah, the optics of suspending / sacking someone are bad, too... This is why dealing with the right is so loving tricky. They are happy to be entirely morally inconsistent, and, as you say, to spend the majority of the time indulging in racist dog whistling (or outright racism) and then screeching in outrage at an ill advised tweet about the home secretary. So when something like this happens, there's literally nothing you can do that they won't use against you.

bessantj posted:Isn't she British? Where would you deport her to? They're trying to deport second-generation descendants of Windrush immigrants to the Caribbean. I can't see the problem in deporting Patel back to wherever her immigrant father came from. Other than that they wouldn't want her, of course.

They don't mean "and therefore you can drop N-bombs and be a 24/7 edgelord without consequence as long as you hate landlords", more that these incidents have to be judged in proportion to the amount of harm that they do to actual marginalized peoples and not to perpetually outraged handwringing libs and fake virtuous right wing projectionists.

The kenmure Street thing is awesome, but I can't help but be disappointed that I moved out of Glasgow a couple of months ago and then it all kicks off less than 100 yards from my old flat. West end's for bellends; southside best side.
