What we gonna do about refugees? Illegals?? Boat-people who risk their lives to arrive in Dover but really would much prefer to be in Kensington? Who have taken a dice with death to get away from… well, that’s a good question.

But its ok, Suella Braverman and little Rishi have come up with a 3 point plan: send ‘em back, ship ‘em out, fly ‘em to Rwanda. In no particular order. They’re ‘toughing up’ on illegal migrants. You can’t just sail up here and jump the housing list! Get instant care on the NHS!!! Put your dirty little boat-children in our schools!!! What do think this is?? A nice country!! No, our Prime Minister and Home Secretary are here to greet you with a great big, flower-laden, chocolate boxed FUCK RIGHT OFFFFF!!!! As well they should. Rishi and Suella share the true nationalist view of what ‘British’ looks like! How it can trace its ancestry back to King Arthur. George II. Prince Andrew, at very least. Just like they do. Oh. Well, its not about ‘them’, the obvious descendants of recent immigrants to these shores, this is about NOW! Keeping our island safe from the new batch of unworthies queuing up to get in.

My maternal grandparents immigrated from Poland (hmmm… EU passport…). They arrived penniless, with loads of kids (price of condoms was prohibitive in 1900), because they wanted ‘a better life’. Firstly one without pogroms, and then to work hard and do better than they ever could in the ‘mother country’. So this is my dilemma. How can I ever want to close our borders to the persecuted, the threatened and even those just in search of a better life for their children?

Gary Linneker said almost the same thing. Well, almost. He tweeted that England was becoming like Germany in the 1930s. And he said that because, fundamentally, he’s a fucking idiot. And also because he seems to forget that he’s a fucking footballer, and nothing more. I know he played for Spurs and so I love him like a son/father/cretin, but I can complain about my children/parents/cretins, can’t I??? Maybe he should put some of that money that the BBC (ie: ME!!!) throw at him and open his own refugee centre for Albanian drug dealers and Afghani jihadis in his garden? Its big enough.

I would hate to be part of a nation whose doors are closed to those who really need help. I want to welcome people. Just not the convicted rapists, murderers and Whatsappers. We have enough of them in the police force. These new ‘proposals’ will never get through the Supreme Court.

Happy Wednesday
