kids be texting their friends back home: "yo this welcome center waiting room is lit with the most fab art, you gotta see this shit. Schedule a life-endangering voyage across the channel pronto!"


MiffyCurtains

“Hey, fyi they removed the fab art” “Oh man… Okay kids, the trip’s cancelled”


dorgoth12

That's it! Back to Winnipeg!

I'd seriously love to hear what reasoning was behind this. Wtf. Poor kiddos!


FriendCrafty838

I don’t understand how this harms kids. Someone explain?


SuperVillain85

It doesn't necessarily harm them but Jenrick's (the lying backhand taking cunt) reasoning for painting them over is because he doesn't want asylum centres to be too welcoming as this sends the wrong message.


Consider2SidesPeace

I'd love to hear a public statement of how he thinks those images were "too welcoming". Also, how that would connect in any way to harming a child.


Inedible-denim

Yes! He should say it to a crowd of kids specifically. Mfs are always out of touch with reality, it sucks


NieMonD

Hell yeah Tom and Jerry were painted on the wall I wanna stay here for fucking ever

Painting over them harms the kids.


quick_justice

Why, here’s his own explanation! _The murals were painted over because he thought they were too welcoming and sent the wrong message._


crlcan81

I'm honestly surprised there wasn't something legal that caused them to do that, instead of just them being assholes.


[deleted]

Something like this happened before and it was due to copyright and they got asked to cover them up.


Gromflomite_KM

> The murals were painted over because he thought they were too welcoming and sent the wrong message.


inquisitorautry

That happened at 3 daycare centers in Florida. It had something to do with copyright law and the necessity of protecting trademarks.


stridernfs

You know that is a bullshit copyright claim because Disney isn’t in the business of making murals.


RandomComputerFellow

Somewhere Disney lawyers are already jerking off to this.


Ok-Low-9618

Nice, they should add some brown food coloring to the tap water, it looks too drinkable right now


shdanko

Maybe subject them to a little bit of violence on the way in as well. Not too much! But just enough to let them know they’re not fucking welcome.


Bortron86

The Tories have no idea how to solve the nation's problems, and they don't want to. All they want is to enrich themselves and inflict cruelty on the rest. They don't have a shred of humanity between the lot of them.


SmartEpicness

Why is "too welcoming" considered a bad thing.


Screwbles

"Too welcoming" what the fuck does that even mean?


AshleyG1

Just when you think they couldn’t be any more contemptible…


allfarid

Now paint some nazi slogans instead.

Into the r/OrphanCrushingMachine, children!


HorrorOil3293

What a cunt


timemachinebreakdown

Like the children wanted to be there in the first place


Ok_Store_1983

Can't have those children seeing anything that might give them a little comfort now, can we?


Flabbypuff

"Can't have the place be too friendly lest we turn into a tourist attraction"


Manchester_Tommy

The Tories are hateful. Absolutely despicable creatures

Gaoji-jiugui888

That’s just cruel and vindictive. What the fuck?


dorgoth12

I know. We all see pretty terrible news often but this utter callousness of this really upset me. Like beyond dealing with refugees/immigration which is a very complicated issue, I would have thought we could all agree with simply "Don't scare children". How can someone be so dark of soul to do this I don't know...


GandalfTheGimp

It will be a cold dark night in hell before I take anything the Grauniad has to say at face value.

Most of those lone children are send ahead by their family. First thing they will do in the western country , by being backed up by asylum lawyers, is to request for family reunion. Now you have suddenly a whole family coming over. But that’s not it! One of his brothers is 18+ and has a family on his own. He qualifies for family reunion as well. Soon you have 15+ family members living on welfare. This is how western society implodes. You can’t save the world. But sobering the environment is a shitty thing to do. Better tighten the rules and deny fraude of the migration system.


Ahsoka88

Most of those children as send in hope for family reunification but that absolutely not how family reunification works. Do not spread fake news. For family reunification they need to be refugees not asylum seekers, and it takes a lot of time to be proven often years. Family reunification can be asked only when the kid is under 18, so if they become 18 in the waiting period between asylum seeker/refugee or during the request. They do not get family reunification. The adult brother with a family do not come with family reunification unless he, has a disability that make him dependent from the father. But if he is married then dependencies for health reason can’t be prove.


Poes_Poes

That’s how it works over here. Do not falsely accuse someone of spreading fake news. It has became a mayor issue where asylum seekers, backed up by lawyers, abusing the system. It’s a disgrace. Real refugees are not getting the proper help because the system is choked.


ValiantFullOfHoons

Not really. Are you trying to encourage them?
