Poor tweet / comment from Lord Adonis about new Home Secretary
.
"I just want to settle in, get organised, then deport my parents!"
Great reply:
"Your better than this " Lord Adonis
Still awaiting the friendly Labour party to arrive .
It was a cartoon. Are they going to ban satire next? No more Have I Got News For You?
Satire is for comedians not politicians....Hang on a minute - You may be rightQuote:

Its not satire ,its down right nastiness, from someone who is not known on the comedy circuit ,mind you he has history
"Adviser Lord Adonis facing calls to go, after appearing to draw similarities the fallout of leaving the EU to British negotiations with Hitler in the lead up to the Second World War"
And they call Boris outlandish ( which he is ).
Whats the saying , when in the green house dont throw ?
Again a party I thought knew better and were above this ,perhaps they have changed ??
Modern politics, someone makes a mistake the oppo party climbs all over it and demands resignation.Quote:

Yes I'm sure kicking the Windrush debate about pre local elections was a vote gatherer, not so vocal now.Quote:

The other motivator was their phoney immigration target. I posted stats on here about 18 months ago about how the Brexiteers were saying 're-engage with the commonwealth' but at the same time the government were pursuing a strategy to kill off commonwealth migration.Quote:
