Medway Towns refugee scandal revealed

A truly shocking scandal has been revealed in the Medway Towns in Kent. It features deception, lies and hidden facts all embroiled in an atmosphere of hysteria.

Medway Towns secret asylum scandal revealed.

A truly shocking scandal has been revealed in the Medway Towns in Kent. It features deception, lies and hidden facts all embroiled in an atmosphere of panic and fear as a local council and its citizens are treated like mere mushrooms by a tiny clique of race relations gestapo officials - that is kept in the dark and fed on dung!

The Medway Towns area includes the historic towns of Chatham, Gillingham and Rochester on the Medway estuary in northern Kent.

At a meeting of the local council last week the Medway councillors and various organisations involved in public welfare issues were told at a public meeting by the council's public liason officer on asylum seekers and asylum issues, Ms. Morris, that contrary to the perceptions of the local Medway community the influx of asylum seekers into the Medway Towns had caused no problems either for the locals, the council or the police. It was only the evil white racist bigots in medway that were saying they were causing problems in the Medway Towns she asserted to her relieved council colleagues.

A huge sigh of relief spread around the room as calm descended upon the meeting. Once again it was all the fault of the evil, white people of Medway who were causing all the problems in the area by being beastly to the poor asylum seekers in the town.

Then it was the turn of the police liason officer for asylum seekers in the Chatham area, one WPC Caroline Pope to speak to the meeting. She then revealed that all the assertions made to the council by the Council policy manager on asylum issues Ms. Morris were in fact false.

Councillors swooned with shock, David Blunkett almost strangled his guide dog and local labour councillors trembled with fear at the appearance of harsh truths they had long sought to surpress.

The police officer then revealed that:

1) Instead of the 293 asylum seekers listed as living in the Medway Towns by the official council figures and as asserted by Councillor Morris there were in fact nearly SIX TIMES that number living and hiding illegally in the town bringing the numbers up to nearly two thousand. As the figures on the real numbers actually living in the area were not known either to the police or the council the actual numbers in Medway could be even higher still. The puzzled police officer then said " For every one listed as being supported by here by the council we have probably found another five or six who are squatting ".

2) Councillor Morris in her fictitious presentation to the council asserted that "There have been no reported cases of drug dealing, rape and prostitution and these have been the subject of local myths. Since September 2003, the police have only received six formal complaints regarding asylum seekers ". Another police officer present, PC Caroline Lucas then recounted the truth to the stunned councillors and stated that older asylum seekers in their twenties bullied younger asylum seekers and took over their flats and then replied that " There are some major issues. Myth busting ? We also need to tell a few truths. Since October there have been five stabbings, also a firearms incident in Medway. There has also been a major police operation which spread from Gravesend involving asylum seekers stabbing each other and a great number of arrests resulting from that ".

3) She also stated that their were incidents of ethnic gang warfare amongst the different asylum seeker groups in the Medway towns leading to serious public order problems and that unscrupulous landlords in the area were making vast profits whilst exploiting the asylum seekers and also causing racial problems between the different groups of asylum seekers forced to live together by the council.

4) She also stated Chatham's Pentagon Centre, the scene of several rapes in the last 2 years and a murder, had become a no-go area for unaccompanied shoppers especially women shoppers, as it had become a meeting place for gangs of asylum seekers. It is well known that on a weekend the Pentagon Centre is swamped with young male asylum seekers in the ubiquitous brand new leather jackets and new mobile phones chatting up and seeking to befriend young local girls. The local Medway Council have also been giving young male asylum seekers lessons on the law as regards the age of consent due to a number of underage pregnancies of young girls in the area. It is recommended that doubting viewers take a trip to the Pentagon centre on a Saturday afternoon and see for themselves how "enriched" Medway has become.

5) Where Ms.Morris had asserted that only SIX complaints in a year since September 2003 had been received by the Medway Police and reported to her at the council , PC Pope stated that " I have at least that number every week ". Perhaps the phone between the Medway Police station and the Ivory Tower where Ms. Morris lives and works needs to be seen by a BT engineer before her next council meeting!

Here we have a shocking example of falsehood and deception revealed only by the actions of one lone brave officer. She deserves a medal for telling the truth, something that most of the gutless senior officers in Kent and the rest of the country are too scared to do as they fear losing their pensions if David 'The Dictator' Blunkett gets upset.

If we take this as a model of how other councils across the country work then we can see the following patterns emerge.
1) Actual numbers of crime reports and complaints about asylum seekers in our towns are not accurately kept by council staff and the actual numbers falsified to give a false impression to council tax payers on the true scale of the problem.
2) That actual numbers of asylum seekers in our towns and cities are actually six times more than that as stated by government. This means millions of illegal immigrants, possibly up to 4 million, are hiding in our towns and cities.
3) That the link between asylum seekers and crime is not an 'Urban Myth' but a provable fact - if the public are allowed to know the facts that local council race relations gestapo officers try and hide from them. 4) That a racial crisis in our towns and cities between asylum seekers and other groups from all ethnic minorities is ticking away and that local councils would rather ignore this than deal with it.

This is New Labour's Britain - run on spin and lies.
