Braverman defends immigration plans
In an address at the National Conservatism Conference on Monday, the Home Secretary Suella Braverman outlined and defended her ideas on immigration, as well as what some are speculating as a more personalised campaign speech reflecting potential leadership ambitions.
Notable excerpts include Braverman’s reiteration that “it’s not racist for anyone, ethnic minority or otherwise, to want to control our borders,” while giving examples of the “ethnicity of grooming gang perpetrators” and crowbarring in “the fact that 100% of women do not have a penis”.
In what was a clearly oriented-to-appease-the-right-wing address, it’ll be no surprise how the media covered it – right with delight, left feeling bereft (of hope, mostly). It’s interesting to observe how they quotes these outlets chose are a deliberate reflection of their political leaning and social views – which of course, isn’t very unbiased reporting at all.
