Painting over a child’s mural shows just a part of the Tories’ cruelty to children
Robert Jenrick: thanks to his actions – and those of his colleagues, someone should refer the Tory government to the NSPCC.
Paint over Mickey Mouse
Burn Where the Wild Things Are
Pulverise the lego
Set fire to the Christmas tree star.Seize all the teddies
Bury every skipping rope
Paint the walls dark brown
Abolish all hope.— Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 (@MichaelRosenYes) July 9, 2023
This should never have happened:
After saying there’s no money for anything, the Conservatives hired workers and sent them to a refugee detention centre for children – to paint over murals showing a smiling Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and other characters, because they didn’t want the kids there to feel comforted.
One of our ministers decided he doesn’t want children to feel safe & welcome, so ordered walls with Mickey Mouse on to be repainted. We have invaded countries on the basis of preserving democracy, protecting civilians & human rights. Some called us the oppressor. Are they right?

The minister responsible was Robert Jenrick, who overspent on his first campaign to be an MP, charged the public £100,000 for a third home he rarely used, and has given tens of millions of pounds worth of help to Tory donors.
WTF Home Office!!
Robert Jenrick(Immigration Minister) has had Mickey Mouse & other cartoon characters, inside an asylum center for children in Dover, painted over because he thought it sent to welcoming a message.#BBCBreakfast pic.twitter.com/JSDyIwCCth

The decision has been roundly condemned:
This is absolutely appalling. How were these people ever allowed any where near high office. What a depressing low point for our country. They must be thrown out of office at the first opportunity https://t.co/RxHL73yZfI

But when she was challenged on it, the Tory Financial Secretary to the Treasury – Victoria Atkins – actually had the front to tell Sophy Ridge her government wants to look after children “well”.
If you ever have any doubts about why these brutal, inhumane, cruel Tories have to be removed from office as soon as possible just watch this & remind yourself how they treated some of the most vulnerable & traumatised children arriving in our country pleading for help & kindness https://t.co/HZT8AE411P

Here’s an example of how well the Tories look after children:
⚠️⚠️⚠️
Home Office admit placing lone 9 year old in Brighton asylum seeker hotel. A 9 year old… ALONE… in a hotel where children have gone missing before because there were “shortages”
How are they getting away with this? Shocked!https://t.co/GnPuYMJwip

That’s right. Tories look after children in their care so well that they send them alone to hotels from which they know others have been taken. And what is the purpose of taking them? People trafficking? Dare I suggest sex trafficking?
Tories know what happens to these kids when the send them to places like that – but they send them anyway.
Would you call that looking after children well? Or would you call it something else?

I felt sick reading this. This is what these morally degenerate tories have led us to.
What an advert to the world.
We must get rid of them!
Fascist tories enacting what they have always said – ‘you nasty refugees have no right to set foot in our sacred little england!’ The arrogance and stupidity of fascist tories is horrifying and they have the audacity to claim ‘we look after refugee children!’ Sure by sending them to austure sterile buildings where the warders ensure these children know they have no rights whatsoever and even breathing is a ‘privilege’ fascist tories give them!
Remember the workhouses wherein impoverished women and their children were forced to reside and work for nothing because how dare women and their children claim right to financial aid! Well we know have the fascist tories’ version of workhouses which are prison barges and buildings designed to ensure refugee children know they are ‘non-human’ and not worthy of any compassion. Reminds me of the nazis!
