Suella Braverman - sacked as Home Secretary (p394)

  • Thread starter Thread starter mat
  • Start date Start date
Finally finished writing this.

It's actually aimed at students who are studying Buddhism as part of their A-level Religious Studies course (and their teachers).

It's very long, but the first four paragraphs may amuse, and the last two provide the gist of the overall argument.

In between, the congruences I have highlighted between her politics and those of the disgraced founder of the Buddhist movement she belongs to are something that no-one else has previously spotted to the best of my knowledge.

There's also a fair bit on the asylum seeker issue and its Rwandan 'solution'.

Actually would have preferred to call her a proto-fascist who appears to have more in common with the far-right Sinhalese Buddhist Power Army (Bodu Bala Sena) or the Burmese 969 Movement than mainstream Buddhism. But that might have been risky.

Just a technical issue why is she doing this? I mean Billy-no-balls Sunak sacked her didn't he? So why is he allowing her a resignation speech?

It was basically a knifing of current government dressed up as something else.

Under normal times it would be huge news for such a direct attack on government policy by a recently sacked cabinet minister. But not with this lot. Its tea room shitstiring in the form a speech in the house.

Maybe doing it the day bojo is going to be on the news is part of the plan here for the loonies to try to limit damage.

I think this was meant to be a speech to the parliamentary party, a threat to Sunak and a speech to guage her support in a leadership challenge.
It came across as a deranged rant about Human rights and a party in the early stages of another internal war within itself, and one thing we can take from history is "a divided house cannot stand".
 
Electioneering for Leader following the (highly probable) bad defeat in the GE.

This woman knows that the Tory membership (dominated by geriatric neo-fascists and people who want to live in 1955) is quite likely to choose her if they get the chance. There is no saying what the Parliamentary Conservative Party - who select the two runners - will look like after the GE. Could conceivably be even more RW than it is now. But I'd be more than surprised if the national electorate would choose SB, Nigel Farage, or any other of the fruitloops DM readers admire as PM. They are all the Tory equivalent of a more extreme version of Jeremy Corbyn.
 
Turns out those International Law enthusiasts blocking her dream coming true are ...... wait for it.....fucking Rwanda !!!!!!

Badenoch keeps being mentioned (and not just by Dorries) as the chosen one of the party machine.
MPs may disagree, but the pool of likely candidates is going to be small.

I saw the Independent yesterday refer to Gullis as "Senior Conservative MP" - he only became an MP in 2019!

The Parliamentary Tory party gene pool just keeps getting shallower and shallower, and the receding tide (to mix a few metaphors) is revealing some hideous bottom-feeding creatures that thrive among the deepest darkest sludge and slime and would never be visible in more normal times.
