    This is explicit official confirmation that the cruelty is the point. We could easily welcome refugees with compassion. The government treats them like animals because it wants to, and because it wants you to see them do it. It wants a spectacle of degradation.

    Excl: Home Office put refugees in barracks after fears better housing would ‘undermine confidence’ in system Internal docs reveal govt justified placing asylum seekers in military camps bc more ‘generous’ housing would damage public perception of system
