What troubles me, also, is that they couldn't find a better "voice"/public face than the one of Priti Patel, whose name sounds like one with deep, ancestral Irish/Walsh/English/Scottish roots, ready to protect the island from foreign born people. /s

- circlefavshape 5y agoI presume this is a joke, but I don't get it
- sshagent 5y agoShe's a vile politician, thats probably the joke
- culopatin 5y agoTheir joke is that, based on their last name, the person saying no to refugees is an immigrant themselves.

- jti107 5y agobased on her last name, assuming she is of indian descent so presumably he is talking about the irony of a european refugee not being allowed into a britain because of a brown person
- jacquesm 5y agoThis sort of thing isn't all that unique either.
- pessimizer 5y agoBecause of her ethnicity, she isn't allowed to be really British to racists, and especially not allowed to be a Tory. By masking that racial attack in sarcasm, you can say it without identifying yourself with it.
- moltke 5y agoBy definition she's not British, she might be a citizen of the UK but she's not racily part of the ancient people indigenous to the island. Some of the people (including immigrants) are starting to understand the problems this causes.
- Jenk 5y agoYou have no idea. She has proudly admitted that the very laws she wishes to implement (and is doing so) would have prevented her own parents from entering the country. She is literally unaware of her own fortune is a direct consequence of immigration, or is that sinister and entitled she thinks nobody else should have that access.
