Another Moral Victory

As Tumbledown Tessie's greatest diplomatic coup (after Brexit) reaches its panting consummation with the state visit of the Trumpster and his newly-shorn hydrophobic head-tribble, it seems apt that one of her greatest moral coups (after Brexit) has sneaked into the Bury Bad News tray. The dead-eyed warden is on record as disliking modern slavery and people-trafficking, whether because Nick Timothy thought the Party membership might have some sort of objection or because she had heard that wogs were involved. With hindsight, the latter reason seems more plausible, if only because the matter eventually landed in the sweaty little paws of the Ministry for Wog Control, which has been treating the victims with all the compassionate efficiency one would expect. In a laudable effort to reward the traffickers' entrepreneurial gumption and will to honorary Britishness, some of the slaves are recycled at the taxpayer's expense and then returned, in slightly improved condition, to the places from which they were rescued; while others are simply pushed out of the detention centre doors, presumably in the hope that they will develop a more can-do attitude towards working their way out of poverty.
