Death's Purifying Scalpel is One Thing, But Let's Not Go Too Far

Like any crisis, the coronavirus pandemic has brought to the fore many extreme and even atavistic viewpoints, including the pernicious superstition that diseases are best treated by medical personnel rather than with applied Britishness and a bit of laissez-périr rah-rah. That such prejudice can lead to momentous and awful consequences for democracy is apparent in the demand by MPs that foreigners should be allowed to remain in the country provided they succeed in infiltrating the National Health Service. In the traditional spirit of British tolerance, the swarming surgical hordes have already been granted a one-year stay of deportation as long as they continue to help the master race; but even this is not enough for the subversive cross-party group, which includes some opportunistic ex-Deputy Conservatives and one member of the Parliamentary Brexit Party who seems to have strayed into the wrong meeting by mistake. The perversion of British pragmaticism amounts to nothing other than the idea that medical workers, even migrant medical workers, are somehow important, as if they were venture capitalists or members of the scumbag press. It has therefore been met with understandable incomprehension at the Ministry for Wog Control, where the relevant minister has apparently had a timely attack of the vapours.
