True Britishness

Given that some decades have now elapsed since the Standard English term asylum seeker failed to incorporate the implicit prefix bogus, few other than journalists will be surprised that the Ministry for Wog Control feels no need to cite, or even collect, information that backs its own claims. Two years ago the then-incumbent minister proclaimed that seventy per cent of the swarming hordes were "single men who are effectively economic migrants;" and the assertion has been repeated within the last six months by her equally brilliant successor. In response to a Freedom of Information request, following a year of "thorough search," the Ministry has now casually admitted that it does not have the relevant evidence; in fact, the Ministry's evidence shows that at least sixty per cent of the invaders disarranging Britain's south coast sewage dumps are legally refugees. Despite this (or, in Oldspeak, because of this), His Majesty's Government has closed off most safe routes, and has persisted in favouring patriotic figures over those which display a vulgar conformity with the facts.
