Priti Patel says she will 'not be silenced' after Labour MPs accuse her of 'gaslighting'
Nobody is saying you can't be an Asian Tory.
Nobody is saying she can't discuss her experiences of racism.
What we are saying is that someone in one of the most privileged positions in the country shouldn't be using the fact that she has experienced some racism to give herself a get-out-of-jail-free card for the racial oppression both tolerated and facilitated by her"
Perhaps, Patel is not jumping on the chuff chuff train like many others which annoy individuals. Criminal damage is criminal damage so Patel is completely right to slam the defiling of statues. Protests are sheer lunacy in a pandemic, and those who are protesting ( might well be for a good reason ) risk putting the final bolt in the economic coffin when the R starts to increase. Why should any government criticise another government especially a power machine like the USA. We would hate for the racist buffoon Trump to be critical of our government!
Keep doing a great job Patel as you and Rishi will go far! Further than Boris that's for sure, as he seems on another planet!
PS - Dele Ali is a racist as just racially abused an asian with sick and offensive comments regarding Coronavirus. Seems to have missed the headline news!!! When Ali ( hopefully not ) is on the end of any abuse - perhaps it will be a moment of reflection. One can't have it both ways in life!
