Louie O’Leary, a Conservative councillor on Dorset council, has savaged the Tory government on Channel 4 News. He told Cathy Newman that the council never wanted the barge and that the refugees should be housed on other people’s doorsteps, for example, in Fareham, the constituency of Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, or Richmond, or by the Thames.
Unfortunately, Mr O’Leary was not asked for his solution to the refugee problem, but he did effectively accuse the government of a litany of lies related to cost and to the information regarding Legionnaires in the water supply. He did not go as far as he could, however, by not reminding the public that the government has yet again broken one of its own laws.
Mr O’Leary also referred to the barge in Old Testament biblical terms, comparing it to the plagues of Egypt and comparing the short history of barge policy to an episode of Fawlty Towers.
Imagine how much better the country would be, however, if it were compared to some of the wonderful content of the New Testament (the bit where Christianity began and God behaving like a psychopath became a lot less frequent). Unfortunately for the Tories, the Old Testament appears to be their rule book, and we have to suffer the delusional bigotry, that they and their supporters rain down on us all.
