Suella Braverman refuses to apologise to Holocaust survivor, 81, over refugee ‘invasion’ remarks 🗣️ Speaking to theipaper Joan Salter said: 'I feel very, very strongly about the language and exactly how it is used to stir people up”
on Saturday, Ms Salter said she was disappointed by Ms Braverman’s reaction to her question.“She was there with her own crowd who think she’s wonderful. I have to give it to her, she was a fabulous orator.
“But I was a bit surprised she didn’t apologise because she got flack [for the comments] even from her own party.”Last November, Britain’s most senior Asian police officer Neil Basu compared her statements to Enoch Powell’s infamous Rivers of Blood speech, while a month later a government advisor on tackling violence against women and girls resigned, citing to the Home Secretary’s “crazy rhetoric”.
Ms Salter says she did not think Ms Braverman was embarrassed to be confronted by a Holocaust survivor over her remarks. Home Secretary Suella Braverman has been criticised for her language around refugees coming to the UK “Because as far as she is concerned, the answer to all the country’s problems is to get rid of the immigrants.“I’m not a party political animal, but I feel very, very strongly about the language and exactly how it is used to stir people up.”
