Mocking basically half the country and using stupid language like she uses does not help her case at all. It just makes everyone think she is an ideologue peddling culture war bollocks to help her politically. Talking sensibly, solemnly even, since deporting people shouldn't be "fun" or an "obsession", would win people over. I was supportive of refugees coming over from war torn countries and thought it was shameful that they we as a country went around the world bombing people, sometimes justified, sometimes not, and then turned our backs at the people fleeing devastation. So I was one of the 'wokerati' I suppose. That was just how I viewed this issue ever since but recently either you or another poster pointed out pretty matter of factly that most channel crossings now are done Albanians who criminal gangs are sending over to replace criminals who have been locked up or booted out and I thought, you know what fair enough that's clearly different and clearly my view on the policy should change, from it being a refugee or a criminal. But when you make it your point to make a name and career for yourself by saying childish, unhelpful things that Braverman does, you lose half the country, and you lack credibility. Frankly, now I dont even know if this Albanian stuff is true, I believe it comes from the Home Office but I dont' trust them.
You make some good points.
The Albanian immigration issue has been well documented, even by The Guardian.
I don’t think she called anyone who supported genuine asylum seekers ‘wokerati’. I’m quite sure she used that phrase when talking about the protestors who had been causing chaos on the streets of London.
As I’ve said, I don’t mind straight talking though I wouldn’t necessarily use the words she said myself. However it makes a point and I can understand the sentiment behind the words.
You can’t take the words too literally. It’s the meaning behind them. For example she’s not got an issue with anyone eating tofu. That would be ridiculous. Yet one poster on here has taken issue with that and now says he won’t vote Tory.
The left leaning posters on here need their pantomime villain. Once identified they then character assassinate the said villain and attribute them the most extreme position imaginable. That’s usually accompanied with direct or indirect comparisons to Hitler and his regime.
There was Boris but he’s gone. There was Farage but he’s long gone. There was Reece Mogg but he’s gone. So we need a new focal point for the vitriol. Step up Suella Braverman. She’s the new target.
