Rudd claims that although she knew, she didn’t know that she knew

There’s been a lot of confusion regarding what Amber Rudd knew about deportation targets. Although by confusion what I actually mean is ‘bullshit’.

Who knows?

Rudd can’t resign before the local elections. As such, she’s been hiding within a labyrinthine web of disprovable falsehoods.

BRITAIN: “Were there targets?”

RUDD: “No.”

BRITAIN: “Yes there were: we have them here.”

RUDD: “But I didn’t know about them.”

BRITAIN: “Funny, this memo said you did.”

RUDD: “I didn’t read the memo.”

BRITAIN: “We have a video of you reading the memo and rubbing your hands together.”

RUDD: “I had my eyes closed. And I was rubbing my hands together because I was thinking about whatever it is that makes humans justifiably pleased.”

BRITAIN: “We have a second video in which it’s clear your eyes are open.”

RUDD: “But that wasn’t me. I was cloned.”

BRITAIN: “If you were cloned and your clone works in government, are you not responsible for its actions?”

RUDD: “But it’s an evil clone.”

BRITAIN: “And you’re sure you’re not the evil one?”

RUDD: “Positive.”

BRITAIN: “Okay, so let’s get this evil clone in here.”

RUDD: “Ah.”

BRITAIN: “We’re going to go get this clone and it will just be you, won’t it?”

RUDD: “I… don’t know.”

Still though, according to ‘moderate’ MP John Woodcock, the Labour right have a lot in common with this monster.

Amber Rudd has screwed up big time, no question. And there is now clearly a significant question mark over her competence. But Labour has more common ground with her than so many of her potential successors – we should be careful what we wish for.
