Get Back In, the War's Just Lovely

As noted by Justin, the Minister for Dawn Raids and Destitution has declared that Iraq is safe enough to use as a dustbin for 1400 Iraqi asylum seekers who were granted what is appropriately termed "hard case" support in 2005. They have received "basic 'no-choice' accommodation, three meals a day, vouchers for essential items and only utility bills paid"; but now that Iraq is safe enough for the eminently dispensable Des Browne to be smuggled in like an Iran-manufactured land mine, this inexcusable level of indulgence can no longer be reasonably maintained. Indeed, after four years and fifty-one weeks of liberation and enlightened values, Iraq is now so safe that the ejectees will be "asked to sign a waiver agreeing the government will take no responsibility for what happens to them or their families once they return to Iraqi territory". This is only natural, given that those who return will be doing so voluntarily, to escape being put on the streets.

The shadow minister for Hanging, Flogging, Castration and Human Rights apparently was not available for comment.
