Quote: She admitted that after the pay-per-view smut scandal had broken, her son had said: "Dad, haven't you heard of the internet?" Smith was also shocked by a visit to the Erotica exhibition, where confronted by the likes of the Monkey Spanker and artisan-built bondage furniture, "I felt completely innocent." I believe the word you actually meant to use in place of "innocent", Smith, was "stupid". |

Everyone's favourite ex-Home Secretary is in the news again this week. Apparently, she's admitted being wrong about cannabis when she was in office. Now, if only she'll admit to being wrong about everything else.... |

That basically means she knew she was wrong in office, but didn't have the balls to say it. Yet another politician who says "well, unfortunately I can do nothing about it... now". |

Bullying people but not understanding (caring) how awfully your actions affect other humans is not something that should be given by way of trying to excuse it. Yikes. |

Yes, she is very fanciable, even more so than Kier Starmer. I honestly don't know enough about her as a politician to decide how evil she is or otherwise. Did she do bad, Mali? |

Wasn't the govt argument that it was "unintentional" bullying? Which seems a brilliant artifice to me. |

Yes, it looks like another poorly-constructed, openly illiberal legislation pushed by an authoritarian and out-of-her-depth Home Secretary. And yes, I'm outraged, but as there's so much to be outraged by this administration compared to previous ones it all seems to merge into a general smog of anger which ain't healthy. The stuff on protest reminds me a heck of a lot about Labour's restrictions on Parliament Square that became farcical. I'm yet to hear howls of protests from the libertarian right who were always so vocal about these things 15 years ago. |

They only care about freedom these days when it’s freedom from “wokery”. See trans rights: now trans people are stuck in bureaucratic hell in order to get their gender showing correctly on documents, but this is ok for some reason |

Post subject: | Re: The Jacqui Smith Thread |
I'm sure there is a proper difference in the legal definition of 'arrival in' and 'entry into' (otherwise why would it be in there) but I don't know what it is so it seems like an overlap to my basic mind. Is it to do with clearing border control or something? |
