Who told workers at an immigration centre to paint over colourful artwork of cartoon characters in an immigration centre accepting children because it was too "welcoming".

Er, your point is? Surely you're not so stupid as to believe that children aren't seeking refuge in the UK simply because most refugees are adults?Confused

If there are no child asylum seekers then why has Braverman again lost a legal case (third this week)?

Because they lie about their age and destroy their documents. The person in the pink coat in that picture is in fact a 40 year old Albanian criminal.

Yes - crafty 'shrunk myself to the size of a 3 years old' bastards - it's a well known scam!

I work with UASC and trust me they exist! Lots of them, traumatised, trafficked and in need of shelter and care.

MrTiddlesTheCat · 27/07/2023 16:54

I work with refugees in Sweden and there are many who look so much older than their actual age. Trauma does that to you. Kids who look 10 years older, but we know they're not lying as they're here with their parents and younger siblings. There's so much bullshit being spread to demonise these desperate people and Jenrick should hold his head in shame. But he won't because he's a prick.

Certain folk on this thread should also hang their heads in shame.

Do you regret that because it seems really heartless?'

@AndrewCastle63 challenges the Immigration Minister @RobertJenrick over his order to remove a cartoon mural at a children's asylum centre.

I hope he's asked that question every single time he's interviewed, for the rest of his life.

I wholeheartedly agree. Absolutely vile specimen.

Endlesssummer2022 · 06/08/2023 18:20

He should have a ref included in his name so we and he never forget. Something like Robert ‘Brushstrokes’ Jenrick.

He's known as Honest Bob Jenrick.

Absolutely. That should be with him to the day he dies.

And he should never be able to forget where he placed his moral compass in history.
