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

[TooBigForMyBoots]

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?

And this. I’m in London too.

Remembrance Weekend marks the anniversary of the end of the 1st World War, is it not entirely appropriate to call for a ceasefire in a current conflict on that weekend?

Erm... I'm not sure where you have got the impression that I'm against that!

Sorry, I didn't think you had given that impression, I was being lazy and didn't scroll back to the poster who said.

"Anyone who disrupts the Remembrance Weekend observations and parades are showing huge disrespect to our country."

I would suggest anyone who doesn't support ceasefires on Remembrance Weekend is showing huge disrespect to humanity.

She made comments about policing in Northern Ireland and the marches there. I don't think she knows as much about them as she thinks and needed to clarify her comments.

Her job seems to be to see a fire and pour fuel on it.

She needs to stay in place spouting drivel until the next election to remind people not to vote Tory.

Braverman has done the impressive feat of uniting all the Northern Ireland parties on a topic. Quite a triumph.

I find myself agreeing with the Sinn Fein spokesperson. Braverman has “as much knowledge about the situation in Northern Ireland as she seems to have about the situation in Palestine at the moment”.

I presume this week she has lost some votes from what would previously have been a fairly conservative constituency in the police.

Agreed. It shows lack of unity as a country, which anyways is true of UK. People don't have a sense of unity and pride like in other countries.

Firstly, I myself would never go on a pro-Palestinian march, I don't like these kind of protests in general and I don't agree with the call for one-sided ceasefire, but they can not be banned, this is not how we should operate. The march should be monitored and policed adequately, but on the whole if its is peaceful it should go ahead. Banning protests is a massive step in the wrong direction, and Cruella is not only trying to do that, but she is actively provoking far right groups with her "disrespect" rhetoric to create clashes and disorder (presumably to say later "I was right" and then introduce another law to curb our liberty). Suella is a fascist, and its scary we have her in the position of power. Tories are scum.

She will also have won a lot of votes. Swings and roundabouts.

I really don't like her and Sunak showed a massive lack of judgment in appointing her in the first place. It isn't time for her to go, she should never have been in the first place.

But my view is that no march of this nature should be allowed on Armistice weekend.

And the Met police are biased - they allowed BLM marches during covid but then cracked down on the Sarah Everard vigil. They do not police without fear or favour, they are racist (when it comes to things like stop and search and pulling over black people in nice cars like the athlete Bianca Williams) and sexist.

But that's not all it is, is it? There are very nasty elements involved in those marches. And also there have been marches every weekend for the past few weeks so they could take a break and have another protest next weekend. As if Hamas or Israel give a stuff what people in London think anyway.

We either believe people died in 2 WW's for our freedoms or we don't.

Otherwise we go down the route of "Government authorised protests" You don't agree with this march but maybe the next one you will agree with but its banned as Braverman says so.

The Police should have independence from Government, same with the justice system

On Israel/Gaza, Hamas is 1000% responsible for the current war, they killed 1400 people and Israel defended its borders and went in after Hamas.

The argument is about proportionality, should 2m people be displaced and over 10,000 killed inc 4000 children in order to try and remove Hamas? aside from the fact that after all this is over, what happens to these remaining 2m people? everything has been destroyed.

This is what the vast majority are protesting about.

Agree
one of the chants from the “ peaceful” protesters was
'There is only one solution, intifada revolution.'
Is this what you support?

People should be allowed to protest, its for the Police/courts to decide if laws broken not politicians

A Zionist is simply someone who believes in Israel’s right to exist.
Do you not believe in Israel’s right to exist?
isn’t that a bit racist?

Yes, what specifically is the problem with being A Zionist?

Are Israelis a race now then ?

Whilst at the same time denying Palestinians their right to have their own state.

Hopefully they'll sweep her away this weekend. Nasty piece of work and wants to achieve a very right wing state. It says something when so many of her colleagues-in a right leaning party at the moment-don't support her. She's a troublemaker, and using Trump style populism on purpose. It wouldn't surprise me if her active supporters were on here banging the drum -there have been a few threads this week.

@TodayInahurry I suppose the genocide of the Palestinians doesn't matter. The murder of children and women doesn't matter. The murder of civilians doesn't matter. They have nowhere to go, hide or take shelter. You take on this really speaks of your lack of empathy and humility. We are witnessing a genocide and mass murder of civilians - war crimes. Conflating with the protests against Israel with Jewish people is antisemitism.

Nothing, except that natives of a whole country had to be displaced and kettled in order for it to come to fruition.

I've no quarrel with Israel but zionism was and is the organised takeover of land that others inhabited.

The thing is, he needs to be aware that the Tory membership is a tiny, tiny minority of the electorate, where the polls show she is deeply unpopular. I think that, rather than sack her and make her a Marty, he should demote her to a junior position where she can do least harm. At least if she refuses to take it that's down to her.

This, 100%. I just can't bear to keep turning on the news only to see more incredibly distressed Palestinian children who have had limbs torn off and who have lost parents and siblings, to say nothing of parents mourning over tiny bundles holding their dead children. It needs to stop.
