I didnβt see it from that angle. You are totally correct. XThe joke implies that her relatives can't possibly be British, as you can't deport British people. I have no clue about Priti Patel's family situation, but I suspect, like her, they are British.
Read that as "nuke" and thought the thread had taken a turnLet's all mute Jack for the day.
I love seeing you here in real time Incy.Read that as "nuke" and thought the thread had taken a turn
Right, because she keeps reinforcing this mindset herself. That's the point.The joke implies that her relatives can't possibly be British, as you can't deport British people. I have no clue about Priti Patel's family situation, but I suspect, like her, they are British.
It's def BNP playbook to suggest that anyone who doesn't look like Hugh Grant or Lily Cole can't be British.
This is the thing she's doing to distract from the Sloppies isn't it?Sheβs on a load of Tweets already, reckon we could be on for a Jack Monrecord
I love that the posters on here make me consider my own reactions to things in a more nuanced way. A lot of lefty people on twitter have retweeted the joke and if it weren't for here I probably would have laughed at it but this and @HarderFaster's intelligent post made me stop and consider it a bit more deeply to see how problematic it is. This place really is an amazing resource!The joke implies that her relatives can't possibly be British, as you can't deport British people. I have no clue about Priti Patel's family situation, but I suspect, like her, they are British.

This was the aspect I found offensive but you phrased it better than I could have.The joke implies that her relatives can't possibly be British, as you can't deport British people. I have no clue about Priti Patel's family situation, but I suspect, like her, they are British.

The tweeter seems to be a left-wing chappie but three people said that his tweet was a bit racist, and two said while they got the joke, it was a bit off. He said he took their point but explained how awful Priti is, fwiw. Personally, I still don't like it.The joke implies that her relatives can't possibly be British, as you can't deport British people.

Not to defend Jack, but the person she was replying to seems to be a batshit conspiracy theorist (not to mention a hardcore anti-vaxxer/Covid denier). Once people like that buy into the notion that there's some huge Satanic cult operating in the shadows, it becomes very easy for them to project their paranoia onto people they identify as part of the conspiracy (their targets are usually also left-wing, curiously). They're dangerous idiots who shouldn't be pandered to. For all of Jack's numerous and infuriating faults, I think we can all agree she isn't part of a Satanic conspiracy and is well within her rights to shut down anyone who tries to imply otherwise!Why didn't she just say, sorry I wasn't aware of that connotation? I was just asked by a photographer to take that pose and had no idea of the connection to demonic worship. I am sorry if I have caused offence.
It is not possible for her to know all religious and anti religion iconography. It is not an admission of failure to admit that she was unaware of something.
Just say thank you, now I am aware I will not use that picture again. No need for snarky attempts at a put down.
Bookies have closed the market on it.She knows she has a massive challenge to try and direct attention away from 'The Sloppies' later on. I don't rule out an A&E lady doctor being involved.
What odds can I get on this episode inevitably resulting in a 'Long Covid' self-diagnosis that will be wheeled out to excuse any future failures to deliver?
BABE. SAME.I love that the posters on here make me consider my own reactions to things in a more nuanced way.
