Seat68 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I don't know a single terrorist, ex terrorist or falsely accused terrorist. Is it like those people that say they stumbled over dodgy images on the Internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a charity thing where famous(ish) people read out publicly released letters for the audience. Some of the letters of note are excellent -showing the private kindness or humour of public figures. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterms Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 If Patel had held her current position when her refugee parents fled to the UK, they may have been turned away, been killed, and she would never have existed. I wonder if she ever reflects on this. Too busy smirking at other peoples' misery, I expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2019 Had someone from the Labour party made disparaging comments about 'North London, metropolitan, liberal elite' there would be a tonne of comment pieces for weeks raging against the obvious discriminatory nature of the party. But, as it's Priti 'individual foreign policy to Israel's liking' Patel, so let's not say anything, eh? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, to the wing of the tory/brexit/nf/bnp sympathisers to which she pathetically panders, there's no difference. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know specifics around Patel’s family but my limited understanding was that the expelled ones who came here were “British citizens “ which was why Amin expelled them ..the Indians who had applied for Ugandan citizenship were initially allowed to stay So , I’m not sure the then govt could have barred their entry , though they did try and offload some elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He demanded that the UK take responsibility for people with UK citizenship. As usual, he was trained by our military and installed in power with our government's backing.

I’m not convinced, personally. No. We know from windrush etc how despicable the government and home office have been and are. But that’s a different point altogether. Peter said “when her refugee parents fled to the UK, they may have been turned away, been killed”. Wanting to end free movement isn’t the same as wanting to reject refugees, leading to them being killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
