Suella Braverman is a danger to the UK and needs to go.

I thought Suella peaked me with her "lets take tents off homeless people as winter is coming" shite. But her performative cruelty is no longer a surprise.

She has surpassed herself in the last 24 hours and become actively dangerous to police and public with her remarks about protests. She is our Home Secretary. Her job is to keep us safe.

So why the fuck has she done the complete opposite with goady, childish statements about police and protesters?Shock

Ethnic minority cabinet ministers continue to uphold institutional racism today, using their identities to give us the illusion of progress when in reality they maintain and uphold systems of oppression. Such tokenism is deeply insidious and allows the government off the hook.

@MidnightOnceMore not when they are constantly pitted against each other. Divide and rule.

That's a Tory party problem, there's nothing wrong with the communities themselves.

We've had multiple communities forever.

localnotail · 09/11/2023 20:54

She reminds me of Trump. Constant shit stirring. I think she is actively trying to create a situation where there are clashes on Saturday. She is vile.

fireworksmyass · 09/11/2023 20:54

I wouldn't be surprised if she wrote all the headlines in the daily mail.

Auvergne63 · 09/11/2023 20:54

What I find difficult to understand if that she is a Buddhist.

Dymaxion · 09/11/2023 20:57

I actually feel sorry for the more moderate Tory MP's who are left firefighting, when the big knobs like Braverman kick off in a bid for a better job !

Alltheyearround · 09/11/2023 20:58

She's grim.

Considering she would know more than the general public eg from the security services etc could that be influencing their points ?

TooBigForMyBoots · 09/11/2023 21:09

I don't hate Suella Braverman. She is a product of her experiences. Growing up in an insular, sexually abusive cult. Going to private, girls school where she didn't fit in. One of her teacher's even changed her name to Suella because Sue Ellen was too common.Shock

I don't know if she's evil.🤷‍♀️. I do know she's lazy, incompetent, dangerous and expensive.

Oh dear. In every one of these threads somebody brings up her skin colour/ethnicity. It's a bit grim.

No, not a lot of the conservative Conservatives survived the 'Great Cull', but there are plenty out there who know their constituents well enough to know this type of behaviour won't be welcomed, most people can pick up on other people being disingenuous.

Just shows, it's the inner moral character of a person we should value the most. And sometimes not give too much focus to a person's colour, gender or religion. Sometimes we wrongly expect better from people whom we think should conduct themselves in a certain manner because of who they are. All outward identities in Suella's case are hollow. She is a brown Buddhist woman. And spouts so much hatred. No one is safe.

Popolop · 09/11/2023 21:23

@Auvergne63 Isn't the Buddhist sect she belongs to a super dodgy cult one that has all sorts of dodgy controversies associated with it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triratna_Buddhist_Community#Controversies_and_criticism

Here's a link to controversies associated with it. Lots of dodgy Buddhist sects around.

I only brough her skin colour up, as when a person of colour spouts hate against other minority groups, it inspires white right wing individuals and affirms their controversial views.

This is outright racism though. You are saying Asian and black people cannot hold their own views and holding them responsible for the views of white people.
She doesn't hate a specific minority, her political views are about the way to deal with immigration or policing.
And how anyone can deny differential treatment by the police after seeing the way they manhandle lesbians at pride or the Sarah Everard vigil I don't know.

I think you are right. She’s moving towards banning any protests at all for anything and that would be her reasoning. We are slowing losing our rights under this government and it’s sad that some people can’t see that.

I get where you coming from. However she did have re occurring dream of deporting asylum seekers. She was critical of Black lives matter. Then made changes to legislation surrounding Hate crimes she I introduced stricter criteria in their recording, and now pro palestinian marches are being called hate marches. She was confining grooming gangs to certain community. People like her are used as a mouth piece to verbalise right wing controversial views. Sometimes political parties use Black and Asian politicians as a piller of a community ⁶to appeal to, and attract votes from these communities as they represent them and will safeguard their interests. And people like Suella make community relations worse.

topnoddy · 09/11/2023 22:05

I wonder who "funds" her ?

AlwaysHeadingWest · 09/11/2023 22:20

She was critical of Black lives matter.

So criticising BLM makes you a racist? How does that logic work?

travelnorth · 09/11/2023 22:21

May be some people do not find her so triggering. I am disgusted by the protests and the lack of respect shown to this country. A bit dramatic to call her truly evil. The woman is unhinged well so are the frothing lefties in the shadow cabinet. After seen KS replying what is working class in LBC may you should reconsider if he is fit to lead the country. But of course there will be millions of excuses for him.
