Perhaps lost amongst all the furore since Lineker’s intervention, I found this wording in Braverman’s speech appalling.

Only those under 18, medically unfit to fly, or at real risk of serious and irreversible harm – an exceedingly high bar - in the country we are removing them to, will be able to delay their removal. Any other claims will be heard remotely, after removal.

So flippantly broken legs, ironic waterboarding or comedically applied electric shocks to the gonads are ok, provided no irreversible harm done ?
 
This whole Gary Lineker thing is the classic ‘dead cat’ that the Tories and the right wing media have concocted.

So a free-lance sports journalist makes factual comments on the illegal migration bill and it’s a scandal but the sitting Home Secretary can lie in parliament and live tv about BILLIONS coming over here illegally and no one is talking about it.

It’s an amazing distraction job and act of self preservation from the scum Tories and their right wing media minions.

Shame they are not as competent at running the country

We won't see the rhetoric being toned down. It's all they have to get votes. The only refuge Tory party offer now is for bigots with some dosh and they come in every shade religion and gender, its a wonderous thing of living in multicultural society that we get to see this.
 
Diagusting that a third generation immigrant (I'm guessing so put me right if incorrect) is complaining about giving immigrants a chance.

I think she’s 2nd generation isn’t she. Same as Priti Patel and Sunak. All of their parents born somewhere else or have I got the definition wrong? It’s a shame that the 3 of them are such big sh*t houses that they’re fronting the rhetoric of a party that doesn’t want them but uses them to prove how they’ve got with the times. Absolute cowards all 3 of them, I hope their families are disgusted and ashamed of them
 
Why do all the right wing grifters talk as though they speak on behalf of all people?
Because they expect everybody to be right wing bigots, just like them. Those that aren't are the barriers or hurdles preventing them targeting the most vulnerable and poorest, and so are targets also. "Who can I hurt today". I'm glad it isn't my way of living (this isn't a dig at anyone but the farages and patels and bravermans of the world as well as boris and may and cameron and osborne and and and...)

Patel's dad apparently ran as a UKIP candidate for Herts in 2013 - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/apr/30/ukip-sushil-patel-candidate. So probably not.

I think it goes to show that being a bit of a mean spirited git isn't determined by family migration history or skin colour.

“Patel was born on 29 March 1972 to Sushil and Anjana Patel in London.[5][6] Her paternal grandparents were born in Gujarat, India, before emigrating to Uganda, and running a convenience store in Kampala.[7] In the 1960s, her parents emigrated to the UK and settled in Hertfordshire.”

From Wikipedia but I can’t see somebody making up where her parents are from.

Racism doesn’t belong to one group of people, it’s a game anyone can play. What an absolutely vile family

I'm not sure if you're familiar with the plight of Indians in Uganda in the 70s, but it's not pretty. All the more astonishing from the lack of empathy perspective. I mean, sure, it took place after the family had left but you'd think they'd have friends or family there?
