But am not OK with all the news articles where the "her parents wouldn't have gotten in under her proposed system" is presented as a kind of "gotcha!
I don't think its intended as a gotcha, its trying to get her to have some sympathy and understanding of the consequences of the changes that she's figureheading

I despise Priti Patel as much as the next man. She's the sort of divisive muppet that gets added to reality shows for the entertainment value.
But am not OK with all the news articles where the "her parents wouldn't have gotten in under her proposed system" is presented as a kind of "gotcha!" rhetoric. A brown person is no more responsible for her parents actions than anyone else. She is a fully British citizen and can have any opinion on immigration she likes, she doesn't owe the past system any debt of gratitude.
