Home Office ‘migrants’ clip: “It’s like Dad’s Army but WE’RE the fascists”
Priti Patel: I was going to paint a Hitler-style moustache on her upper lip but let’s be honest – there’s no need.
Priti Patel’s Home Office has taken a (goose) step too far with it’s latest anti-migrant video.
It says – well, see for yourself:
It’s like the opening to Dad’s Army but we’re the fascists. https://t.co/02XCQP6WIE

Wow.
The graphic really is like the opening titles of Dad’s Army, but the message is perverse.
Behind graphics reminiscent of the old TV sit-com, that represented the UK’s older (and younger) citizens fending off the Nazi hordes, the Home Office comes across as having been taken over by the Nazis,
“We are working to remove” – take note of that language, remove. It means the Home Office is sending people back to the home countries they fled to seek asylum in the United Kingdom – “migrants with no right to remain in the UK”. Migrants like Mercy Baguma who, rather than being removed, was starved to death in her Glasgow home after the Home Office removed her right to remain but then did nothing, leaving her in limbo without any way of feeding herself?
“But current return regulations” to which the UK signed up “are rigid and open to abuse…” If they’re “rigid”, then it shouldn’t be possible to abuse them; they’d mean one thing only. Is it not more likely that the current regulations simply don’t allow the Home Office (as run by Priti Patel) to just kick people out willy-nilly?
“… Allowing activist lawyers” – activist? Activist? Apparently an “activist” is a person who campaigns to bring about political and social change. The use of the word suggests that this is a bad thing. But if the current regime is keen to expel innocent people to an uncertain future – on the basis of questionable information (what are the facts on which the Home Office seeks to deport these people, anyway?) then it seems to me that political and social change is not only desirable but demanded.
“… to delay and disrupt returns…” Good for them!
Then it starts to get really sinister: “Soon we will no longer be bound by EU laws and can negotiate our own return arrangements.” Doesn’t this suggest that the Tory-run Home Office, overseen by Priti Patel, is looking forward to the freedom to treat Johnny Foreigner with extreme prejudice? To treating migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers as people with no rights at all?
I fear for the future of anyone falling into the clutches of such a regime. Fascism comes very strongly to mind.
Of course, we are British – and the clip is already getting the treatment it deserves:

You were right not to edit that picture – no additions are required for those who still possess critical faculties to see the minister for sneering malice for exactly what she is.
Do not forget Priti Patel is one of the pawns of fascist lardy boris’s government and he and all the rest of the fascist tories in power are responsible for their xenophobic and fascist hatred of refugees and migrants!
How dare the fascist Home Office publish lies – oh wait this is what the Nazis in Germany did and they claimed it was those nasty ‘others’ who were breaching the law and creating rebellion!
Yes wait until 1st January 2021 then the fascist Home Office will be chartering numerous planes to deport all those supposedly ‘nasty migrants’ from our pure little england land!
