Lord Kerslake is a Reich idiot for comparing the government’s policies to Nazi Germany
Far from the second coming of the Third Reich, Britain is a friend to those who want to contribute - as opposed to milk us
Reich idiot
LORD Kerslake should be ashamed of himself for comparing the Government’s policies to Nazi Germany.
That vicious regime was responsible for a World War, the systematic murder of millions of Jews and other minorities, and is a byword for evil of the most unimaginable kind.
To put the Prime Minister in that company is not just overblown rhetoric; it is an outrageous slur on a woman that, whatever your politics, has made public service her life’s work.
Kerslake, meanwhile, is a publicity-hungry timeserver who climbed into the top job in the Civil Service simply by hanging around long enough.
His tenure at the ministry for local government contributed to a housing crisis that will take decades to solve.
Bungalow Bob, so named because there’s nothing upstairs, presents himself as some kind of impartial mandarin. Yeah, right. He was an adviser to Jeremy Corbyn, though the BBC barely managed to mention it.
Far from the second coming of the Third Reich, this country is a friend to those who want to come here and build a life. Michael Gove was laughed at by the usual suspects for describing this as a “friendly country” for immigrants.
If you want to work hard, get on and build your life here then nowhere in the world will open its arms wider.
From Irish to Caribbean to Ugandan to Asian immigrants, new communities have settled here and are now as much a part of Britain as Winston Churchill.
The Windrush debacle has shown up years of incompetence at the Home Office. Those affected must be helped. With Brexit approaching, that has to change — because the 3million EU citizens we’ve already welcomed deserve certainty that they can stay.
Kerslake should apologise.
Lords a-leeching
IT should be no surprise that unelected Peers are no fans of democracy.
As they proved again on Wednesday when they voted to keep the UK shackled to the EU’s restrictive customs union, these museum pieces still haven’t got over the fact that 17.4million people voted for a new, global future.
Every single former Cabinet Secretary is now set on trying to thwart Brexit. If that doesn’t prove what their mates in the taxpayer teat-sucking Civil Service think about the hard-working Brits who want out, we don’t know what does.
Reform is desperately needed. Those comfy red benches need fewer, and better, people sat on them.

Dale’s legacy
DALE Winton was a great British entertainer. His loss is a tragic one.
The tributes to the telly favourite are universally of a man who wasn’t just funny and charming in equal measure, but with a big heart too.
He’ll be missed.
