Priti Patel takes herself too seriously and that’s why this blunder is so satisfying
Gone is the trademark smirk: perhaps Ms Patel doesn’t think it’s funny when she makes a stupid mistake.
This is so funny I can’t let it pass by.
Priti Patel, the Home Secretary, announced over the weekend…
Without the slightest hint of self-consciousness, This Writer should add…
That shoplifting in the UK has fallen, when compared with the same time last year.
It seems she had forgotten a small detail:

Priti Patel said shoplifting is down from last year.
Incredible news, also dodo poaching has been eliminated & the illegal selling of dial up modems has been stopped.

Shoplifting is down announces Priti Patel.

Re. Priti Patel bragging about the drop in shoplifting; I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say there’s probably also been a bit of a dip in car crashes, accidental drownings and people tripping over uneven paving stones.
Call it a hunch.

Shoplifting is down but wife beating is up.
I thought I read about this somewhere over the last weekend….I wasn’t fully awake and thought it was a satirical piece at the time of reading, but it turns out she actually DID say it…
Just HOW BAD do these people have to be? HOW BEREFT of common sense?
