Im not, I’m just making it clear, if I was shouting I’d have put !Why are you shouting at me?
Is it your view that the UK govt should have remained silent on the issue?
There are but Ireland isn’t a leading NATO member.There are strong links between the US and Eire, so that isnt correct.
You’re letting your anti Tory bias cloud your judgement.You're ok. The BBC are covering for her.

The headline and the article says that she said his words "directly led" to the violence. If you watch the clip she doesn't actually say that. She says his words were "associated with" the violence.
Pathetic from both Patel and the BBC.

The UK is a leading member of NATO.How are there less consequences for us speaking out?
I don’t have an anti Tory bias. I think Johnson’s the worst PM in living memory and he’s surrounded himself with the least talented cabinet I can remember. I also think Corbyn was the worst leader of the opposition for a long time. I’m judging them on their individual performances not their party affiliation.You’re letting your anti Tory bias cloud your judgement.
I don’t want the Home Secretary saying a fucking word about one of our allies in a situation like this, it’s not her job.
Leave it to the PM and less so, Foreign Secretary.
The whole Cabinet will have been briefed to let the PM comment and to keep quiet.
Seems odd they would post a clip directly under the headline that differs from what they’re saying.I suspect if they quoted her like that, then she really did say it.
The clip is 1.40 of a 15 minute segment.
It is if the ethos of collective responsibility still subsists, especially as she is charged with upholding law and order. On that basis, she is perfectly entitled and arguably required to comment on the breakdown of the rule of law within the seat of democracy of such a close ally, aided and abetted, as it was, by its Head of State.Patel is Home Secretary, it’s not her job to criticise other world leaders.
No, I really do not underestimate it.That doesn't explain how there are less consequences. If we are so small and weak any problems would hurt us more?
I think you underestimate how powerful the Irish voice is in American politics.
