Suella Braverman has reacted to a photo in which she was pictured standing on a guide dog’s tail at the Tory party conference.

The Home Secretary issued an “apology to all dogs” after she took to the stage at a Blue Collar Conservatism reception on Tuesday (3 October).

Ms Braverman was pictured with her foot on a guide dog’s tail.

The dog, named Inca, was at the conference with Guide Dogs UK, who are campaigning for a ban on pavement parking.

“I don’t think any dogs were harmed in the filming of my visit,” Ms Braverman said.

Compared with the US, a lot more countries than just England are old as fuck, bit of a random one to bring up. But regardless, as the other commenter said: it's still exceptionalism.

E: just saw your other comment. "obviously talking about since 2015/16"... are you 12 or is that all the world history you can recall?

Not random at all. Did you forget what this was about?

[-] Arrakis@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

No, it's about UK politics. England is one country of several in the UK, hence why it seemed random to only mention it.

Okay be pedantic then. Go away.

[-] Arrakis@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

....really? You replied to me just to say "Go away?"

I'm starting to think maybe I was right when I asked if you were 12.

And no, it’s not exceptionalism. The US has dominated headlines about being a political shit storm not seen in ages since 2015/2016. I am not American and get equal US/UK news in all my media.

If you guys want the claim being the most fucked up go right ahead and claim it baby. I seriously don’t care, but don’t assign meaning to my words.

"No, it's not about exceptionalism, here's how it's about exceptionalism."

Brilliant.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
