Tory Logic Sinks to a New Low
We finally have an answer as to why migrants are risking life and limb to cross the English Channel in tiny boats.
Have you seen France? It’s lovely!
Instead of setting up camp in beautiful Normandy, they’re paying smugglers everything they own to get to Dover. Families are selling what little they have to make a desperate crossing in an overcrowded dinghy. They’re dragging children into the world’s busiest shipping channel — dodging oil tankers the size of football fields — knowing full well many before them have died on the same route.
And now, finally, we’re told the truth about why they do it.
Not because they’re fleeing war.
Not because they’re escaping persecution.
Not because sanctions crippled their economies and toppled their governments.
Not because Britain helped bomb their countries into rubble.
No. According to a Tory councillor in Wirral, they’re coming here for… our flapjacks.
Yes, really.
This isn’t satire. This is what was actually said at a Wirral council meeting:
“You’re encouraging these people going down to Hoylake, sharing flapjacks, and then those photos go back and are shared all over Instagram. It’s just encouraging more of them to take the perilous journey across the Med, where thousands have died.”
So according to this logic, people are fleeing their homes, crossing deserts, dodging militias, risking the Mediterranean — where thousands really have drowned — trudging across the entirety of Europe, and then tackling the busiest shipping lane on the planet in an overcrowded dinghy… for flapjacks.
And yes, he’s technically right about one thing: people have died crossing the Channel — but far more have drowned in the Mediterranean. And let’s be clear about why. They weren’t lost because we encouraged them to come with flapjacks. They were lost because governments like Greece pushed boats back with oars, fired water cannons, and drove desperate families away from their shores. Human rights groups have documented it. Courts have condemned it. It killed people. Refugees and victims of war and economic struggle.
So is that what this councillor is suggesting our Coastguard or the RNLI should do? Turn the hoses on men, women and children when they reach these shores? Throw them all back in the sea to fend for themselves instead of treating them humanely and with compassion?
“But we can’t look after them all!” I hear often. Which just brings me to the scale of the problem.
This year, around 35,000 people have crossed the Channel. That’s 0.05% of the UK population. You could fit them all into one football stadium and still have empty seats. Thirty-five thousand people in a country of seventy million is not a crisis — unless you want it to be one.
Since 2018, around 160,000 people are thought to have entered the UK illegally. That’s it — 160,000 in seven years. A tiny fraction in a country of seventy million. Hardly the “invasion” some pundits and billionaires like to rant about, with dark fantasies of Britain succumbing to Sharia law.
And here’s the part nobody on TV will tell you: most of these refugees are coming from, or transiting through, places we’ve helped destroy or destabilise in the first place. They aren’t here for flapjacks. They’re here because we flattened their countries, armed the militias, and then acted shocked when people fled. It’s blowback, plain and simple.
But you wouldn’t know that if you switched on the TV or opened a paper. The media inflate it, repeat it, and beam it back at you every single day, building up the same idiotic politicians who peddle this nonsense without ever discussing the root cause. They frame migrants as the crisis, as the main threat this country faces, while the real crises — collapsing wages, crumbling infrastructure, food bills through the roof and an economy on life support — are barely whispered about.
And that’s the point, isn’t it? To keep the masses focused on those with no money and no power. To keep people divided and fighting each other, instead of turning their anger toward those who are really to blame.
Because if you’re blaming migrants for the state of Britain, you’re not blaming the billionaires, the war profiteers, the media and clueless politicians who are truly responsible.
Migrants aren’t the problem. The people telling you flapjacks are the problem — they’re the ones to blame.
