The brutal reality of our asylum policy
Reid has declared war on some of the most oppressed of the world. His
department operates policies and practices of institutionalised
savagery, rebranded as efficiency. On Tuesday, Tough John will tell us
his office is deporting more people than the numbers of "bogus" asylum
applicants coming in. To get to target, they pick low-hanging fruit -
babies, tots, mums, who will go quietly weeping.
Today a planeload - 23 adults and 19 children - will be on charter
flight XLA4334 to the Democratic Republic of Congo where, since 1998,
more than four million people have been murdered
