Good news, it turns out that pitching war dead from colonial countries into mass graves was not in fact racist but was instead due to the deep anthropological expertise of British officers leading them to know that's what their families would have wanted. This proves the idea that the Empire was racist is wrong.

not only does she attend them, but actually listed them as the number one thing that had helped her get through lockdown in a feature in Politico. every other respondent, including some quite unpleasant and ghoulish people, said nice things like their dog, their bike, flowers, nature, and she said attending dawn raids. I don’t like to throw round pop-psych diagnoses but I genuinely think she’s some sort of socio/psychopath. I don’t imagine someone like boris or gove would at all enjoy seeing the on the ground effects of their policies - watching people be violently ripped from their homes isn’t something the vast majority of people enjoy seeing live. But she really does and I find that terrifying. I’m really hoping Boris shuffles her out of that post soon or she’ll be personally machine gunning protestors in the next few years.

She's a fascist, OP. It's ok to say it. It's not ableist to use the f-word.

The only good thing about WW1 is how many sons of the aristocracy were obliterated or left to rot in No Man's Land, with not even so much as a pinky left for their families to bury. The one time in Britain's wretched history where some modicum of class equality was finally realized.

yeah, but that’s not all that uncommon in the British ruling class and you don’t have to be a psycho to be a fascist or indeed vice versa. I don’t doubt there are fascists out there who’s cringe at the reality of a human being weeping as they’re dragged from their home but ultimately still be in favour of it. Like there’s a big difference between being theoretically in favour of all this horrid poo poo (don’t get me wrong those people deserve the loving wall as well), and actually enjoying seeing it live. Patel seems to actively really get off on it and it’s like, a deeply disturbing trait to have that goes far beyond the casual cruelty of most right wingers.

e: I suppose it scares me mostly because it’s very mask off in the attitude towards immigrants - most of them sit behind this mask of ‘we don’t hate anyone but we just do what’s best for our native constituents’. she doesn’t even bother with that - she actively enjoys the cruelty itself and very obviously so. That sets a really terrifying precedent.

Hasn't she publicly said she wouldn't let her parents come here like they did? She is absolutely a psycho on top of being a fascist.

I saw a tweet from someone who said they had worked at a charity and had been organising an event with someone and the whole thing got called off because the person they were liaising with was so thoroughly and constantly nasty to everyone they didn't want to go through with it shocked to learn a decade later said person was the home secretary

Remember a few years ago when Patel was on a plane and we all discovered she'd been having secret meetings with Israel without government approval and it was good fun waiting to see when the plane would land and she'd discover she'd completely hosed it and her political career was over?

It's good to remember these sorts of episodes because a) it was actually very funny at the time and b) it's a clear and obvious example of the ruling class flat out not having any sort of principles, it's hopeless to assume any form of natural justice exists and you need to be as powerful and determined as them to get results.

The first one is quite a bit more positive I know.

But to save the UK aristocracy and upper class way of living uptil then.
