Priti Patel

Post by CombatClaret » Sat Jul 04, 2020 1:24 pm

First Robert Jenerick...

Priti Patel lobbied for a relaxation of lottery rules that would have benefited a Conservative donor after they met privately.

Sacked by May for trying to do her own deals with Israel. Nothing would surprise me about any of the current cabinet.

They're watching what that deranged racist over the water has been getting away with with impunity and our lot are collectively thinking, 'We can have some of that!'.

It didn't need any fixing. As Billy Balfour said, "They're a bunch of spivs."

Didn't sack Cummings, didn't sack Jenrick and won't sack Patel. They are all so scared of each other, they've become comatose.

Yeah it did. You allowed your own political affiliations to affect you. You mentioned “cabinet”, which would indicate only one side of the house are bad. As Billy says, they are a “bunch of spivs” But whichever side they are on is irrelevant. The whole house are a “bunch of spivs”.

All my adult life I’ve been a labour voter... until someone decided that it was a good idea to let Lenin take over the party.... incompetently assisted by a woman who can barely speak her own name coherently.

So the greens it was....

As it happens, no, I didn't, but I though Lenin was dead and I'd no idea he'd once been leader of the Labour Party. You must be very old.

All spivs tho... the lot I voted for, and the lot you voted for. Every single one of em, regardless of affiliation, end up the same. They may not start out that way, but that’s how they end up.

Attracts a lot of criticism, does Priti.

But everybody will surely agree how good it is to see somebody from her background succeeding.

You're wrong. And as an ex Labour supporter you should know that Tories are born that way. Self, self, self is all they think about, day in, day out.

There may be a few like that on the opposition benches but I've actually been in the House of Commons on several occasions and met quite a few Labour MPs. Most are hard working and have the interests of their constituents at heart. Peter Pike was one of the best and got me and some work collegues seats in the Sergeant at Arms private box on the day Neil Kinnock basically called Margaret Thatcher a liar over the Belgrano sinking. She went puple. It was absolutely brilliant.

Pundits say that it will be a monumental task for Labour to get power at the next election, but I am not so sure of that. The task in hand for any Government of the UK is bad but the march forward that we need will be too slow they way this lot keep shooting themselves in their pig swill sodden feet.

At the time he was a qualified guide for the Palace of Westminster and gave four of us a personal tour of both the Lords and Commons. A wonderful day all round.

"Tories are born that way"

Criticizing the sinking of an aggressor's warship which was out to kill our soldiers.

This is why Burnley voted Conservative.

I actually agreed with the sinking. That wasn't the point I was making. The Belgrano was apparrently sailing out of the exclusion zone, but of course, it could have turned round again. That said, 'Conqueror' the sub that sank her, could have waited a bit longer instead of killing some 3,000 Argentinians who all had families at home. Maggie, being Maggi, didn't care about that though and ordered her to be sunk.

Conqueror could absolutely NOT have waited, once the order was given.

We were on a war footing. Decisions are made, orders are issued and every cog in the machine does its bit to achieve the ultimate aim. Soldiers, sailors and airmen are there to do the business. They are NOT there to make their own minds up and do their own thing.

Mendes must answer for the 3000 souls lost...

"could have waited a bit longer" - I'm not sure you grasp how bloody and awful war is.

We got very lucky that bad weather prevented the Argentines launching from their aircraft carrier when the British fleet were highly vulnerable to attack.

It was the sinking of the Belgrano that forced their carrier back into port. Without that statement of intent it is highly likely many more young British men would have lost their lives in service.

If anyone wants to criticize the sinking of the Belgrano then they ought to do so in this context rather than a cheap point scoring exercise of regaling us as to what colour Margaret Thatcher may have turned when she was criticized for defending our interests and putting our lives soldiers first.

Her priority was British lives. Thank God she understood that.

I suggest you have a read of this....

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War

But to say 3000 were killed on the Belgrano is a tad over the top GD.....

As there were a total of 649 enemy fatalities to our 255 in that sorry conflict.

If you think that was the thought process among the thousands who decided to vote Conservative then it's little wonder Labour lost.

If the Labour Party think as you do they'll stay out of power a lot longer.

I've actually been involved in a war. Have you? I got shot in the 'Gulf' befor most people even knew there was a 'Gulf'. Try reading up about the Dhofar rebellion in Oman in the early 70s. Another of Britain's secret wars. We were seconded into the Sultan's army so that Britain could say that had no troops there. I think I know a bit about war and conflict.

I never said you criticized the sinking if you read what I wrote properly. I accused you of joyously regaling us with a flippant story about a serious incident.
Believe me, as a Labour supporter it was very, very amusing and at no point did I make fun of the Falklands war. Quite the reverse in fact.

If it was, I recovered to serve in Ireland a few months later, where James Martin Pacelli McGuinness killed three of my mates, including the guy who got me back to my own lines in Oman.

How sad,you must have been inconsolable.. :(

I could never understand the hatred they had for each other. I am Protestant and played most sports for a mainly catholic team and religion was never mentioned. Guess you had to be there to see the hatred in N.Ireland.

Life is hard to understand at times. When I was in Oman I believed everything we were told by our officers about the so called rebels. Since then of course, I have learned exactly why they rebelled and regret some of my actions there. As usual, Britain was just protecting it's oil interests and ended up appointing Army officers to top jobs in the Omani government after independence to keep control.

Things are rarely as clear as they first appear.

You'll all get a chance to vote them out at the next election, after being in power for 14 years is it. So for the next four years I look forward to seeing how you pour out your vitriol and come up with your snide remarks about the Tories: it certainly makes me smile to feel your pain and envy.

Sorry you are so ill. Mental health services are another thing the Tories have run down.
