Priti Patel Cartoon

[Everanewbie]

Whatever you think of her politics, AIBU to feel that the Guardian, and left wing commentators display disgusting hypocracy in their treatment of politicians in the centre-right, especially when female or of colour, in thius case Home Secretary Priti Patel?

Diane Abbott has been targetted by the most foul abuse, which is rightly highlighted and condemned, however claims of abuse are fired back when her views, consistency, politics and competance are questioned. But if the person in question is more of a centre-right pursuasion, they seem to be fair game.

Bull - it must about that one sacred bull, Nandi, that no one has ever heard of?

Are you kidding me? Just because you are ignorant of other cultures doesn’t mean everyone else is. Steve Bell certainly won’t be. If there’s one thing a long-established satirist understands, it’s iconography. That is the fundamental basis of his work.

And the word “bully” has nothing to do with bulls. Other than having four letters in common. So, no, it’s not obvious.

Oh, and I love how you say “no one” as if 1.1 billion Hindus are not people. That’s some racism right there.

I may be partisan (I am) but I would have no problem with P Patel, if she wasn't spouting rubbish.
If she was talking sense, I would still have a problem dealing with her condescending manner, towards interviewers. I know this is almost a media requirement, compulsory for the current administration.
Coupled with that, just hearing her on the BBC, talking about Covid-19, and how, "...we're increasin' testin'..." just does not encourage confidence in her ability. Just sayin'... (See what I did there...?)
