What!?

Check the definition!

“Deliberately inflicting

on the group conditions

of life calculated

to bring about

its physical destruction

in whole or part.”

So there's that, for a fucking start.

Which is why I feel

fairly confident calling this genocide. 

- Fuck! This was the implication of the last Ode to Priti Patel - 

but- fucking hell!

In the same period of time;

more people living in these conditions,

than attempting to cross

the busiest shipping lane in the world

have died.

As a fan of Narendra Modi,

I suppose, we shouldn't be all that surprised.

Want proof? - Here's a letter to praise 

After the homes of Muslims in Gujarat were razed.

Genocide isn't defined by motive, 

The moral cost is the same, 

regardless of the role hate played. 

Just as evil is to commit genocide as deterrent policy.  

It’s not like you can claim this was an accident, 

This was fucking foreseen!

Not because we are fucking prophets 

now is it?

It’s because this was predicable,

that’s why you are utterly culpable. 

So, let’s take this from the top. 

Reading now in a new context, 

in which lives of those

my verse and prose 

sought to defend

are already lost

Experts - have already called the setting entirely inappropriate

For people who are traumatised - and come to us desperate; 

taking vulnerable people - who fled from war zones 

and telling them - to make a military base home?

Taking victims of sexual violence

to a place you can’t sleep or wash in the privacy

What the fuck is this, re-traumatisation as deterrent policy?

And what are we meant to think of this?

When the Home Office just straight up admits

that they are fully aware of those

absolute arseholes

that went door knocking like fucking Gestapo

and are “not tracking them“!?

I have been doing a better job

of keeping my eye on those

“protesters”.

I’ve watched their horrible videos

Each timestamp passed, the tick of a time bomb 

watching them,

what I saw was the precursor to a program!

No, I don’t accept this as incompetence.

They admit they’re aware,

so it’s definitely not ignorance.

Yes, I am saying that I cannot believe this 

is some accident or administrative failure

Fuck off!

I say, this is fear and danger 

as deterrent policy.

This kind of obvious cruelty 

and the obvious damage done

could only ever have originated from

a truly selective empathy;

from a yawning empty chasm, -

The space reserved in their hearts

for those seeking asylum. 

It could only have come from such a virtual space

That we choose leaders like this

is the real national decline and disgrace.

Hey, if I’m wrong, -

answer our fucking questions!

But this time don’t deny reality.

We have seen the pictures 

we can’t unhear the testimony

Now, I know I have laid a heavy charge

but these are questions that must be asked.

And Priti, I’m not even done yet,

and I can’t actually believe what I’m going to say next

I have concerns with regards to Covid

I’d like to say potentially 

but we all know this shits against advice!

So what?

They either so stupid 

that their leadership constitutes

an actual threat to life.

Or what?

What’s left?

Fucking intentionally?

How did you think this you, may ask?

How could I make such an outrageous claim?

I am more than happy

to justify myself and explain. -

Bunk beds?

Fucking bunk beds in a pandemic

give me a minute,

I’m going to have to make this rage poetic.

The Home Office claim they removed precisely so they could be in more covid safe accommodation

So what is this?

That’s, at least 8. - no, nine minimum! 

Statement from HO

Oh shut up,

just stop!

I can’t accept this as incompetence.

We all know this is not Covid safe, 

so it’s definitely not ignorance.

Statement from HO

No! Fuck you,

don’t gaslight me.

This - will obviously 

further facilitate the propagation 

of this deadly plague! 

It is impossible - to understate 

the gravity of the state’s moral abdication 

The Home Office does it does itself no favours 

with its opposite day answers 

when they are asked

- er what the fuck?

What are we meant to think of this? 

I am warning the Home Office that without exclamation these barracks

Look like smallpox riddled blankets 

I have phrased this as warnings and questions,

but if it helps Priti,  

you can take all of this as a straight up accusation

So sue me, prove me wrong .

At last, you have to give some real answers 

because you know;

we’ve seen the sodding pictures,

we’ve heard the testimony,

and of course bitch 

-should I say bitch? - whatever

in court, you’d never get away 

with this bullshit denial of reality.
