ALLOWED your memories of Tory rule to blissfully fade? Remember you hate new Reform recruit Suella Braverman but not sure why? Refresh your memory:
Her dream was to fly people to Rwanda
Martin Luther King Jr’s dream was egalitarian and inspiring. Your simpler but innocent dreams are of being naked in public or late for work. Suella’s dream, in contrast, was to fly illegal migrants to a Rwanda, a country not even deemed safe to return migrants to. This is not a dream most would boast about.
She believed living in a tent was a lifestyle choice
Living in a tent is indeed a lifestyle choice when done for a weekend in Cornwall. For those without a home, it’s more desperation and falling through society’s safety nets. To confuse the one for the other is a sign of an extreme lack of empathy or being very, very stupid, so it’s safe to assume Suella is both.
Her whole pro-Palestine/Ireland blunder
A deep cut for the hardcore Braverman haters, but likening pro-Palestine protests in London to sectarian marches in Northern Ireland could only have been more insensitive if delivered in a Belfast accent while burning the respective flags. Which she’s planned as her first act as a Reform MP for this Friday.
She sent a official document from personal email
Ah, the first time she was fired. Remember? Breaking the ministerial code for punting an official Cabinet document out to a backbencher even more right-wing than she is? Being the only minister not good enough for the Truss administration? Quite a distinction.
Being named after Dallas’s Sue-Ellen
It isn’t what makes her so loathsome, but it is a nice cherry on top that a person of significant hatefulness has a comical name. Dallas was all the rage when she was born, and Suella is in fact Sue-Ellen, named after an alcoholic former Miss Texas so drawn to evil she marries JR twice. Some parallels there.
Just her general vibe
Braverman was binned off three years and three home secretaries ago, which means your recollections are hazy. Even if you can’t remember the specific policies which pissed you off, her demeanour of school nerd turned vicious bully remains. You don’t need facts and opinion polls to validate your lingering gut hatred. Trust to your feelings.
