Restoring a Sense of Decency

Another inspiring example has emerged of how Daveybloke's Cuddly Coalition is dealing with what used to be a moral outrage when somebody else was doing it. A Jamaican woman who went on hunger strike over her detention without charge at Yarl's Wood has been detained without charge in Holloway prison instead. She is considered a troublemaker, apparently because New New Labour deported her brother who was subsequently murdered by gangs, and she wishes to remain in the United Kingdom on the transparently benefit-cadging grounds that her son's welfare would be affected if she too were disposed of in the accepted manner. Daveybloke's Cuddly Coalition has responded by ensuring that her son's welfare is affected by forcibly separating him from his mother. She also claims that she was beaten up by staff at Yarl's Wood, but the embarrassment is minimal as nobody seems to have caught them on video. Nick Clegg, though almost certainly bursting to comment on the moral aspects of the matter, evidently could not be reached.
