Yes, she is.

Tillymintsmama · 02/10/2019 11:06

what's she done now? Most tories are vile to be honest!

Lllot5 · 02/10/2019 11:08

Just seen a clip of her speech on the news.
So smug so condescending. Smirking and gurning all the way through, least the bit I saw, horrible.

Mixamatosis · 02/10/2019 11:40

So much for sisterhood eh?

Funghi · 02/10/2019 11:42

If this had been titled ‘MM is a vile human being’ it would have been deleted instantly.

Soola · 02/10/2019 11:47

Reported your post.

Trewser · 02/10/2019 11:48

Oh come on Bertrand

Soola · 02/10/2019 11:48

Home secretary announces extra funding and recruitment to tackle ‘evil’ drug gangs

Can’t see anything vile about that.

MrsHardbroom · 02/10/2019 11:49

She is morally bankrupt, just like the rest of the Tories.

Soola · 02/10/2019 11:49

@Trewser you have to forgive her, ‘loony lefty’ is a disease.

Eugh. She looks insincere and her smiling and encouraging the clapping with an obvious ‘pause for effect’ is hard to watch.

Soola · 02/10/2019 11:57

She’s a beauty.

Yes. yes she is.

GetOffTheTableMabel · 02/10/2019 11:59

Have met her many times.
She is, in fact, fascinatingly, pathologically dim-witted. And also not very nice.

She is beautiful, I agree.

Calling the Home Secretary vile is not really the spirit of Mumsnet is it?

Priti Patel is a successful woman with a great career, something we should all be applauding not insulting or dragging her down.

The left wing bias on this site is atrocious. Mumsnet was originally unbiased but it’s sad how they allow the moderators to pander to the left.

Pretty packaging = Wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Mummyoflittledragon · 02/10/2019 12:02

@Soola
Not left wing myself. Assumptions assumptions.

MarieG10 · 02/10/2019 12:04

Well I think she is good. Got an understanding that the public are pissed off with criminals being treated like royalty and not having any deterrent. I also think it is great to have two decedents of Asian immigrants in high office and done brilliantly well

And omg what is the other option? Dianne Abbott who couldn't even count what additional police officers would cost?

PerfectPeony2 · 02/10/2019 12:04

Maybe it would be better to start a discussion on what she is saying rather than just call her vile?

AmIChangingagain · 02/10/2019 12:04

I'm not left wing

I think she's an arse

Perch · 02/10/2019 12:05

She isn’t the sharpest pencil but what exactly is your problem? The biggest town near to us are heavily affected by county lines drugrunning, In clear daylight for all to see, i’m all for anything that rids us of this nonsense!
