WHAT SOMEONE’S WORTH : UK’S HOME SECRETARY, PRITI ‘resigned in disgrace in 2017’ PATEL is said to be resting comfortably and self isolating at home during the Covid-19 crisis.
“You get the leaders you deserve,” our home affairs analyst says, somewhat glumly, “Ms Patel was forced to resign by Theresa May in 2017 after a catalogue of dodgy dealings with the IDF was exposed. Apparently she was trying to funnel taxpayer’s money to them? Still, not something that should stop people voting her in again, is it? If the Tories won’t clean house themselves. Not in the 21st Century. So yes, you get the government the people of Witham deserve. And numerous other places.”
But while that’s all well and good, the geographical location of the holder of one of the great offices of state is becoming a concern.
“I don’t see why? Have you seen the damage she does? All that fuelling of xenophobia and the base human hating guff she peddles? You should be happy she’s hiding out. Yes, she can work from home, presumably, but. Well. Okay. She’s probably working up an action plan for how to deal with CV-19 infections in immigration detention centres as we speak.”
Nail the doors shut and look again in a week?
“Ms Patel’s door? If you like. I wouldn’t worry about it. I’m sure the Home Secretary is surplus to requirements. Raab has it all in hand, metaphorically speaking. And once it’s safe to slag off Polish bin men again Ms Patel will be the first you’ll hear speak.”
