So nothing specific then

Rwanda
Boats
Policing
Alliance to terrorists in marches

Those are hot Suella topics….got it. But what specifically is offensive about her views?

Go and sealion somewhere else

I think she's a psychopath

Me too. She’s always grinning in a most disconcerting manner.

Posters on this thread are not your google. Go and do your own research, you’ll find it very easily.

@Flapjacker48 policing has already become so politicised with the PCCs aligned to party politics. The thought of becoming basically the enforcers of the whims of a Home Secretary is horrifying.
She already wants to strip officers of the right to a neutral chair in misconduct panels so that the politicians can exert even more power through PCC putting pressure on chief constables that will chair these proposed panels.
And ironically we have a purdah on posting anything political publicly at election times, when police forces have never seen such levels of political influence.

@LizzieSiddal
I’m asking you what you find so offensive about what she has said, or even why she is wrong

Why is it so hard?

She speaks the same language as Oswald Mosely, Nick Griffin, Tommy Robinson and other British far right agitators. She is more representative of the EDL than the traditional conservative party.

Yet we are somehow in an era where Nick Griffin is showing more humanity than Suella Braverman.

StiffyByngsDogBartholomew · 09/11/2023 13:32

And even my Dad, the most dyed-in-wool Conservative, thinks she's awful. That is quite a feat.

billyt · 09/11/2023 13:33

Unfortunately, hamsterarse is like one of those kids, that no matter how much you explain and clarify something they only come back....

but why?

Every.single.time

LunaNorth · 09/11/2023 13:34

I’m starting to suspect she’s some kind of AI right wing robot with all its dials turned up to 11.

And it’s malfunctioning.

MrsBennetsPoorNerves · 09/11/2023 13:34

I think the issue that @hamstersarse is probably having is that she may share a lot of Braverman's abhorrent views and ignorant prejudices, and she is therefore unable to grasp why everyone else finds them so offensive. At least, that's the only explanation that I can find for her persistent line of questioning on this thread.

Braverman's comments are all in the public domain, and it's pretty easy to find out what she has said. So the only logical conclusion is that @hamstersarse knows exactly what she has said and doesn't see any issue with it.

A lost cause as far as I'm concerned, so it isn't worth the effort of trying to explain.

The woman is nothing short of an ultra right wing fascist in my book .

IClaudine · 09/11/2023 13:37

"We cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice"

is disgusting and horrifying, for a start. You can google the rest of her repulsive oeuvre, Hamster.

hamstersarse · 09/11/2023 13:38

It all strikes me as simplistic moralistic posturing

There’s literally no substance to your hatred and just the same responses over and over

“Google it’
“can’t be bothered to explain’
‘must be a bot’

Not one substantive reason why you disagree / say she’s worse than Hitler.

Dear ma, what nasty and truly vile things people are saying on here. You do realise outside London most people agree with her and are terrified of Muslim immigration and the views shouted at the demonstrations. How nice, to describe such people as uneducated!

JustKen · 09/11/2023 13:38

I think most people with common values would condemn SB for saying she'd prosecute anyone who gives a homeless person a tent and that homelessness is a "lifestyle choice".

Or how about writing an article in which she calls this weekend's protests as "hate marches".

Or attempting to get the Met Police to do her bidding and Commissioner Rowley telling Sinak she can do one.

Just three things I found online.

Do you have anything at all to back this statement up? Or is it just in your own head you like to think this is true?

Have you seen what’s happened in LA?

That’s what unfettered ‘liberal’ policies with regards to tents can do

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_Row,_Los_Angeles

So is she wrong to say there needs to be controls around where you can camp? Or do you think unfettered camping in streets is fine?

BethDuttonsTwin · 09/11/2023 13:41

I like her 😊

She's just said this:

Braverman: "During Covid, why was it that lockdown objectors were given no quarter by public order police yet BLM demonstrators were enabled, allowed to break rules & even greeted with officers taking the knee? Right-wing protesters who engage in aggression are rightly met with a stern response yet pro-Palestinian mobs displaying almost identical behaviour are largely ignored, even when breaking the law?"

And she's absolutely bang on.

BethDuttonsTwin · 09/11/2023 13:42

Agree with all your posts @hamstersarse

doesnow · 09/11/2023 13:43

I'd just been going to post examples of some of the vile and offensive claptrap she's come out with. Even staunch conservatives find her an embarrassment.

Yes, particularly homelessness and immigration. I see people have already quoted some of it.

IClaudine · 09/11/2023 13:44

Not sure what is happening in LA has to do with homelessness in the UK. 0/10 for the attempt to derail.

doesnow · 09/11/2023 13:46

At least you've had the good grace to use an embarrassed emoji @BethDuttonsTwin I think a little more research is in order for you.

Why do you think LA has got to where it has?!?

Naive doesn’t even cover your response.
