No, The Kids Aren’t Alright
Today’s mercy is tomorrow’s problem.
The heart bleeds when we see children ravaged by war, torn asunder from their families, their faces caked in blood, their expressions bewildered and their hearts dismembered. That is a migrant, that is a refugee, that is an individual who needs help beyond all measure because the human race must help the children who have no choice, who have no say in the matter as their world disintegrates around them.
This might be the picture in Aleppo, in Iraq, in countless circles of fire where bodies burn and children lie scattered amongst the ruins. It’s certainly not the picture in Lunar House in Croydon, London.
I don’t see the young boys and girls, I don’t see the women and children but what I do see outside Lunar House in Croydon is one big con which we are paying for.
In two weeks’ time this outrage will be forgotten (on to the next one) but the dozens of relatives of each ‘’child’’ will already be packing their bags.
Of course, once each relative gains a British passport and votes for the establishment, expect them to bring more of their extended family over.
I am horrified to see these pictures, mortified to realise that our spacious reasoning redefines the meaning of ‘children’ from babes in arms to military veterans in their twenties.
Those who lie about who they are, including their age — which according to data is 65% of all those admitted as child refugees since 2005 — are jumping the queue and forcing genuine child refugees to be left behind. That is truly what is deplorable.
Legitimate immigrants, people who have a genuine claim to be with family are tainted and it makes the patience and acceptance of the extremely compassionate British people wear thinner.
Let’s look at these kids decked out in the finest tailoring shall we? Let’s look at the rationale that brought them to Lunar House, now protected from our sight by rapidly built scaffolding to hide their faces.
Turkey is safe. But the migrants try to get to Greece and Bulgaria.
Greece and Bulgaria are safe. But the migrants try to get to Romania and Hungary.
Romania and Hungary are safe. But the migrants try to get to Austria.
Austria is safe. But migrants try to get to France.
France is safe. But they want to get to the UK.
These people are NOT refugees. People who arrive in a safe country and decide it is not quite what they are after, then travel to the UK because they know they can get free benefits while risking their children’s lives just for free hand outs. They are not refugees. They are economic migrants.
Today’s mercy is tomorrow’s problems. If the parents have left these children behind, then they should be sent back to France. And they should all be sent back to the first country they entered in any case.
Now what about these trendy celebrities crying tears and telling us how we need to be more compassionate for these ‘children’? What about the MP’s? Do you intend to take the cost of settlement out of your expenses that our taxation pays for or have it directly taken from your salary that taxation pays for or maybe you will be cutting back from the household budget to teach your privileged children that there are working people with families that have to rely on food banks?
No it is far easier to charge pensioners £10 a week or cut back on pensions or make pensions payable at unreachable ages.
It costs £85,000 in the UK to settle a refugee. In Germany it is only €12,000. So there is good money to be made, by the agencies who got the contract to resettle refugees.
So the ministers know exactly what they’re doing. No one turns down easy money. That’s why we have a refugee crisis, because people can make a lot of money off the back of it.
Are we compassionate? Or are we just utterly, completely, foolishly gullible?
