More Than They Deserve

Squeals of righteous indignation have erupted from the Ministry of Wog Disposal after a cross-party group of parliamentarians criticised the use of "barracks-style accommodation" (barracks, in Oldspeak) to contain asylum seekers while Her Majesty's Government decides the pretext for their deportation. People who have suffered imprisonment, torture and rape, often at the hands of uniformed personnel with less exalted moral values than the erstwhile conquerors of Afghanistan, are being warehoused behind barbed wire, under visible surveillance, without privacy among themselves or contact with native Britons whose jobs they might end up stealing. The parliamentarians even went so far as to recommend that asylum seekers be housed in safe accommodation; which, given that Her Majesty's Government does not believe landlords should be obliged to house the master race in conditions fit for human habitation, would obviously be nothing more than a recipe for legitimate and understandable concerns. The Ministry for Wog Disposal waxed indignant at the idea that the kind of accommodation which drives the occasional recruit to suicide might not be good enough for a bunch of migrants; such a suggestion is, foamed a spokesbeing, "an insult" to anyone who has served in the armed forces or worn a really big poppy.
