Lost in Translation

Some kind soul has reminded the Home Office that among the many undesirable characteristics of the migrant hordes, inability to speak a civilised language is frequently prominent. The Home Office had been plotting to cut the pay of its interpreters, who indulge the whims of the refugee swarms by implying that they might be allowed to stay here without even speaking enough English to read the Rothermere Daily Stürmer. Initially "postponed" until Mad Tessie May could be reassured that not all interpreters have cats, the pay cut has now been adjourned until the Home Office can organise a "fundamental review of interpreter services"; at which point no doubt Mad Tessie May will get her own back and then some, and interrogators will be ordered simply to act more assertively and speak more loudly until the human locust understands.
