On 28th April last year I posted on the Tories refusal to accept 3,000 homeless and parentless child refugees. In that post I wrote
Thus to give sanctuary and safety to what would almost certainly be the next generation of suicide bombers and Islamic fanatics must be against the national British interest. On the other hand the explanation for the refusal to support this proposal may just perhaps be that the Tories are genuinely evil, callous, and so lacking in humanity that they have abandoned all vestiges of civilisation. Like their economic doctrine of free market neoliberalism, they are a lie, a sham and a fraud. I really thought that nothing the Tories could do could surprise me any more, but this is so disgusting that I find it difficult to digest.
I that light I am sure we all fully supported the US immigration official who justified the detention of a five year old boy on the grounds that just because he is only five years old does not mean he is not a security risk. I am convinced that Britain and America are genuinely descending into a form of collective madness. It is bad enough our governments wallowing in an orgy of racist xenophobia and anti-Islamic hatred, but you would think that an ordinary citizen, faced with being told to detain a five year old on security grounds would have enough decency and self-respect to tell his/her superiors to get lost. But no, such is the ideological environment created by both governments and by their supporters in the media, we now find ourselves in a situation that is definitely similar to 1930's Germany. I was of course being ultra-sarcastic when I wrote that, but we now find that public officials are actually giving life to my fantasies. We are indeed abandoning all vestiges of civilisation.
I write this because today, as you will all be aware, the British government officially abandoned any commitment to accept any more children. The proposal to accept 3,000 of the estimated 95,000 solitary child refugees in Europe was the work of Lord Dobbs, a Labour party peer who arrived in Britain at the age of six under the Kindertransport scheme that rescued Jewish children from the Nazis. Under enormous pressure the government finally relented and said they would accept some of them. As of today they have accepted 200 and expect another 150 by the summer. Enough is enough however, 350 is too many and the scheme has been halted as of today. The excuse given by Amber Rudd (who completely disgraces the office of Home Secretary) in the pigsty today was that helping child refugees to escape homelessness and living in a tent, open to exploitation, trafficking, hunger and even starvation was 'incentivising' them and encouraging even more children to become refugees. Such sentiments defy intelligent comment, they are so vile and inhuman that they are difficult to absorb. The Tories even utilise free market economic language to justify their barbarism as they are incapable of justification in plain English. I would respect them more if they simply told us that because they are all Muslim they hope that they simply crawl away and die and stop being a nuisance. At least that would be honest.
If you think I am at times a bit hard on the Tories, I am afraid they are becoming indescribable even to me. In their favour however, they are all self-confessed church going Christians, synagogue attending Jews and even some mosque attending Muslims. They are all good practising religious people in some form or another. That is their escape clause. They are not unfeeling and are motivated by a greater good, we are indeed fortunate. The Donald is even a self-confessed Christian so I must be wrong about them as usual. I will sleep better for that tonight, but feel that I must still tell you that you have been warned.
