All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing
– Possibly not Edmund Burke.
If you are of sensitive disposition and get a little twitchy around ‘naughty’ words, probably best skip this one – I’m really, really angry and the box of swear words is wide open.
Recently there has been some noise on my Facebook feed perpetrated by the kind of malevolent dipsticks who swallow the output of the Daily Fail (I’m not linking directly to their site because the slimy little shits don’t deserve the extra ad revenue) wholesale. Specifically there are some ‘concerns’ regarding the child migrants from Calais entering the country.
Apparently these fearful little whinging cowards are quaking on terror at the thought that some of these child refugees might not be children, but either young adults or some sort of Daesh terrorist in disguise. So because there is a tiny risk that some children might be a little too old to be technically children, or that there is a tiny risk that some might be associated with Daesh, we’re supposed not to give some refugee children in dire straits a home?
Hell, no.
Whilst the pathetic little worms are right in saying that some of the children might be a bit too old to be considered children, and there might be some risk that Daesh could infiltrate a terrorist, it’s time to tell the to tell the worms to piss off until they’ve grown a spine.
We’re British, which doesn’t mean cowering in our little hovels hoping that bump in the night isn’t some monster out to get us. It means doing the right thing and welcoming child refugees to our country, and if that means a bit extra risk (although most terrorist attacks are from home-grown terrorists), then we’ll suck it up. Hell, we take a bigger risk opening the front door and going to work every day.
And if you’re one of those pathetic individuals who doesn’t agree with this, then you can fuck right off. I’m not lowering my standards to pacify your pathetic need for safety, and it is about time a few more of us were prepared to tell you how pathetic you are.
