Not Quite Kigali

Somehow or other, despite the relevant minister's flying visit in a Chinook, the wog warehousing crisis at Manston still contrives to be ongoing. Parliamentary expenses claimants who dropped in for a quick snigger found families sleeping on mats even though the minister for immigration and Richard Desmond, not necessarily in that order, claimed that overcrowding was a thing of the past. MPs and local councils alike are up in arms at the idea of accommodating the swarming hordes in hotels, especially with the hospitality industry in its present healthy state; but it remains to be seen whether the policy of driving the cockroaches into the middle of a city and leaving them to crawl around and spread disease is quite the solution the Government sems to think. Depriving people of what little shelter they have is of course the default Conservative solution to any housing crisis; but there remains some doubt as to whether urban wog-dumping is hostile enough to satisfy either the Labour Party or the great British public.
