From Bases To BarracKs

Close the camps, shut them down!

Those places, where the trauma they arrive with

is starved of compassion, becomes capitalistic.

Prisoners of war, torture victims, unwilling conscripts.

Where did those traumas occur?

bases, barracks... you know what,

I’ll just let one of the men’s words say it:

Indicating to scars shown to the camera by another detainee he says with heart rending incredulity:

“we came from war and they put us in an army camp”

Given it was on a military bases that they picked up this milestone is detaining them in barracks not,

how do you say .. fucking sadistic.

Whatever I call the Brexit regime as a whole this policy is fascistic.

Corralled by barbed wire and securitisation the aesthetic militarisation

of the asylum process metastasising

pain priti patel can’t imagine, by her policy of retraumatising.
