What Can Their Problem Be?

Despite the Christian charity of the dead-eyed warden of HM Prison UK, who posed for photographs with only a few security personnel to protect her from the angry cockroaches; despite the dead-eyed warden's altruistic obsession with lowering immigration even when the economy suffers from it; despite years of improving rhetoric about hostile environments for job-stealing health tourists; despite Whitehall's obsessive press-ganging of landlords, teachers, police and charity workers as snitches for the Home Office; despite that monumental orgasm of British tolerance and fair play which was the Go Home Vans affair; and even despite the continued involvement of those charming G4S people as boot-boys in the wog warehouses - despite all this, the survivors of the Grenfell Tower disaster are showing a strange reluctance to avail themselves of the Government's offer not to kick them out for a while if they'll just hop onto a database or several. Doubtless this boorish attitude is the result of some non-British cultural flaw; or perhaps, as so often happens, an overdose of welfare-induced luxury has eroded their moral perspective. It is certainly a bit of a conundrum.
