Never mind her antics: Priti Patel would have DEPORTED members of the England football team
Priti Patel: this is a more accurate representation of the image she should have had on her shirt.
Priti Patel really has a nerve.
Only a few days ago, she was saying she saw nothing wrong with racist football fans booing the England Euro 2020 squad for ‘taking the knee’ before its matches.
That was before Gareth Southgate’s team won a place in the final, of course.

Had Priti Patel and Boris Johnson believed England would succeed would they have attacked the team for taking the knee? Of course not: they were betting on failure.

Now look at her:
Take the knee Priti. https://t.co/xIBxZnGk2w

Just wait until somebody tells her that her idea of good immigration law would have denied eight of the 11 team members their place in the team she now supports so fanatically:

Half the England team are descended from immigrants who wouldn't have been allowed to enter the country under this psychopathic hypocrite's hostile immigration policy. https://t.co/9CU8dCYomB

As it is, she seems intent on criminalising the Royal National Lifeboat Institution with her proposed new laws to stop us saving refugees from death. Get your head around this:
More from me @TheCanaryUK:
Priti Patel's immigration bill could make the RNLI criminals.
The #NationalityAndBordersBill from Patel could see the state prosecute RNLI volunteers for saving drowning refugees. With thanks to @RichardJMurphy @GeorgePeretzQC https://t.co/h0AdhL1bJV

Here’s the relevant part of the legislation:
Should you be fishing offshore and spot a dingy sinking and a child drowning this Government intends you be subject to criminal proceedings, maximum life in prison, for saving that child's life.

That’s right – for seeing somebody in desperate need and saving their life, you could be imprisoned for the rest of yours under Patel’s (and her boss Boris Johnson’s) dictatorial, fascist regime.
Perhaps the worst indictment against her is that she can’t deny that her proposals would have outlawed initiatives like the Kindertransport that saved hundreds of Jewish children from Nazi death camps by bringing them to safety in the UK before the outbreak of World War II:
We twice asked @pritipatel’s @ukhomeoffice whether her proposed legislation regarding people who help asylum seekers would have rendered an humanitarian mission like the Kindertransport criminal. They declined/refused to answer the question. Make of that what you will.

I wonder how well that plays with her friends in Israeli politics?
Of course, that law hasn’t been enacted yet, so we can all enjoy this:

Final word:
It's a harsh reality but Britain is much better at creating refugees around the world rather than saving them. #PritiPatel

So much for Patel.
If you want to admire a political figure who supports the England team in an honest way, here’s the Left’s Grace Blakely:

Our England team should remain kneeling until the booing stops!
Wonderful little fascist dictator duck johnson and his fascist tory cronies are now criminalising anyone who dares to rescue anyone from the sea!! Make no mistake – anyone attempting to rescue a drowning individual must first ascertain the drowning person’s identity and whether or not they are legal citizens of fascist little england! If not – let the person drown!
But but the fascist regime has the support of xenophobic and racist little englanders because this mob voted for our dictatorship!
Why hasn’t little fascist dictator duck johnson been deported? Given he isn’t English because he was born in the USA!
