“What an absolute f***ing disgrace” Tory MPs have been left “appalled” at a Home Office decision to paint over murals of cartoon figures at an asylum centre for lone children
Tory Peer Lord Kirkhope, a former immigration minister who oversaw the 1996 UN Bosnian refugee resettlement programme, described the decision as “unfortunate”.
He added: “It’s a shame because we have a reputation, we have a background we can be proud of, even if it is a little while ago, and I just want it restored again.” The spokesman said: “We want to ensure that children who come into our care are safe, secure, they’re supported.“And ultimately, we want to deter people including families from making these dangerous profit crossings which are putting lives at risk.”and the Liberal Democrats described the order as “the worst kind of trivial nastiness” and a “waste of taxpayer money”.Asked whether painting over murals deters asylum seekers, he replied: “We do want to deter people from making these crossings.
Natasha Tsangarides, associate director of advocacy at Freedom from Torture, said: “The news that the immigration minister has in fact made staff paint over murals at a refugee reception centre shows just how contemptible this Government really is.
