Whitehall – in the business of rolling out red carpets for invaders

 

The hunt is on –  the hunt for the scalp of the Home Sec, Ms Braverman. The baying pack of the Westminster swamp dwellers is in full cry. One look at the compilation of this morning’s MSM print front pages is sufficient – look here if you must.

There’s one especially lurid front page in that compilation which I’ve saved for posterity. It’s the Metro ‘News’ – you won’t find this in their online edition. I wonder why … Perhaps someone ‘higher up’ in the Westminster food chain told them it might give people the wrong idea. See for yourselves, here’s the screenshot:

 

Let’s see if this terrifying image might make some of those invaders think again and refrain from coming here. Before I proceed, a remark on language: Ms Braverman used the word ‘invaders’, to the predictable outcry of the Westminster baying pack. The BBC however proved yet again that it is the de-facto Ministry of Propaganda by giving out the official version, in the same manner as the Goebbels Ministry did during ‘that’ time in Germany over 70 years ago. See this:

“The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum.” (link)

No wonder yon Westminster pack is outraged that Ms Braverman dared to transgress and not use the Orwellian Newspeak definition. As for me, I shall forthwith refrain from using ‘migrant’ for those who invade our country. Yesterday, she had to defend herself in the HoC. In the now customary ping-pong set-up played by the broadsheets, this morning it’s the DT which is spending most pixels on this story. They present us with three articles and one opinion piece. It will be the turn of The Times tomorrow. And so, according to a sketch in the DT, we read:

“She cut a lonely figure. None of the big fish turned out to support her; Tory MPs listened in silence. Suella B, who resigned only two weeks ago over a leak, was reappointed by the new PM in exchange (we suspect) for her endorsement, and now faces the sack over Hellish conditions at the Manston asylum centre. From the view in the gallery, she didn’t look like a devil but a zombie, a dead minister walking, lashing out at her own civil servants in search of a brain to digest.” (paywalled link)

‘Zombie’ – get it? It was Halloween yesterday … From the rest of that sketch I gather that the ‘loyal opposition’ was represented by the laydees from Labour (Yvette Cooper, Stella Creasy) and the SNP (Joanne Cherry). It doesn’t matter to laydees such as Ms Creasy, bemoaning that “you’re packing women and children into accommodations that come without kitchens or school places.”  that there are hardly any wimmin and children in the invasion force from Albania. I wonder why she didn’t wail about yon wimmin and kids being housed with criminals.

And then, involuntarily, the sketch writer actually does get to what this is about – rest assured, it wasn’t his purpose:

“The actual point, interjected Joanna Cherry, is that keeping people trapped at Manston for a long time amounts to illegal detention. […] Braverman is brazening it out by calling them “wrong, wrong”, and though she acknowledged the system was “broken” — “you broke it!”, cried Labour  — she wants to shift attention from the Home Office’s eternal incompetence and towards the smugglers bringing these poor souls here. “She spoke for the nation!” declared John Redwood to a rare cheer from the Tories. It was certainly a strong performance, but the problem is that many MPs are convinced they’ve got her on a technicality, and they’re one leak away from proving it.” (paywalled link)

Aha! So this is clearly not about those poor invaders – it’s about getting rid of Ms Braverman, something her mandarins are keen on as Mr Gove hinted at on telly on Sunday. I’m sure they preferred Mr Shapps who dutifully signed off their hotel acquisitions to ‘house’ yon invaders in the few hours he was Home Sec. It’s significant that the following comes from ‘sources’, anonymous as always:

“Allies of Priti Patel, the former home secretary, also suggested the Manston crisis was Mrs Braverman’s fault. “Priti kept signing hotels off over summer no matter how unpalatable it was because it was the right thing to do to keep in line with statutory duties and make sure that people were not sleeping in awful conditions,” said one. […] The source who worked with Mrs Patel in the Home Office said she was “saddened to see this great office of state being brought into such disrepute on multiple levels”.” (paywalled link)

Oh dear – what more proof do we need that Ms Patel had become so browbeaten in the end that she just signed what her mandarins told her to?  Like Mr Shapps did? Then there’s this:

Another source said the Home Office was breaking the law by failing to put asylum seekers in hotel rooms because the Asylum Act 1999 requires the Home Secretary to house migrants within 24 hours and Manston is not an accommodation centre, it is a processing centre.” (paywalled link)

It is good to hear from the horses’ mouths that the ‘Act’ according to which all those invaders must be given hotel accommodation was instituted in 1999. We do remember, do we not, who was PM at that time. We also do remember, do we not, who was PM at the time when the floodgates for invaders were opened, ‘to rub the Tories’ noses in’. I’m not a masochist but I would like to see a Starmer government deal with the mess they created. The Times, from their great height, carefully is putting the blame for all this on the new PM:

“The overcrowding has led to outbreaks of diseases such as diphtheria, scabies and MRSA. To make matters worse for the prime minister, the overcrowding was caused by an active policy decision by Suella Braverman, the home secretary, not to procure more hotels to move people out of Manston.” (link, paywalled)

Yes, Ms Braverman not ‘actively’ signing off on the HO’s ‘hotel acquisition scheme’ is dangerous for the PM, of course it is.!What astonishes me is that none of the lefty Westminster ‘investigative pack’ is asking if those big hotel chains which are now housing invaders might have handed brown envelopes to MPs now demanding this scheme be continued …

Moreover, how come, why is it that the claims of a ‘diphtheria outbreak’ and the rest, in the public domain ever since the Westminster pack has homed in on getting rid of Ms Braverman, hasn’t been supported by e.g. leaks from local hospitals? Shouldn’t local GPs be concerned that such highly infectious diseases migth spread? Has in fact any doctor seen these patients who ought to be in an isolation ward? Or, is this, perish the thought, just a suitable ‘fear porn’ concoction? Now see this:

Undercover footage taken by an asylum seeker who spent 15 days at the Manston migrant processing site, documents the “wretched” conditions he endured while sleeping in a tent with 120 people. The asylum seeker said he saw people “itching” and “scratching” themselves. “I’m seeing lots of people that have problems, ill problems, scratching problems. I’ve seen more than three people that have the itching problem,” he told The News Movement website.” (paywalled link)

Let’s ask how come that an ‘asylum seeker’ is able to take ‘undercover footage’. Let’s ask if he’s a doctor …! Let’s ask what this ‘News Movement’ website is about. I found two entries in wiki which make it unnecessary to delve deeper into this swamp. Firstly, there’s the bio wiki for one of the ‘founders’, a former BBC journalist’:

“In May 2021, it was reported that [Kamal] Ahmed joined former Dow Jones CEO William Lewis (journalist) in founding the News Movement, a digital news company aiming to counter misinformation. Ahmed will serve as its Editor-in-Chief.” (link)

Checking out that link to William Lewis, we find a long glowing report listing all his credentials, and again the one brief sentence, right at the bottom,  about that ‘News Movement’ website which is, word for word, the same as for Mr Ahmed’s wiki.

Is that why the Westminster MSM are happy to regurgitate what this ‘News Movement’ publishes? Interesting – especially in view of the fact that they have shunned publishing anything from the news site now called “Daily Sceptic”, formerly ‘Lockdown Sceptic” set up and run by another eminent journalist, Toby Young. Perhaps this ‘news’, reported in the DM, of “[…] insiders warned that migrants were fighting each other with improvised weapons.” (linkcame from the same ‘source’?

As antidote, there’s Richard Littlejohn’s coruscating comment in the DM today, about the political, i.e. Westminster, class being out of touch with the people – worth a quick look (link)! Just so. We might ask though if this is why none of that baying pack asks who benefits from this criminal enterprise. It is criminal, see this GB News clip. These ‘benefits’ are all tax free. So where’s the ‘journalist’ asking why we must accept even more taxes, as Hunt and Sunak are allegedly planning?

Why must we be impoverished, why must we pay for criminal gangs and their profits while housing them in hotels for which we also must pay? Why is the Home Office, in their zeal to get rid of Ms Braverman, apparently bent on supporting this criminal enterprise? Shouldn’t we be told?
