🍼🌱The Green Party has pulled out the ultimate mic drop in the migration debate: “We’d happily leave our kids with them.” Bold. Somewhere between virtue signalling and an impromptu babysitting ad, this statement seems to suggest that migrants are less a “problem” and more an untapped childcare resource. Who knew border policy could double as a crèche business plan?

🛑 From Refugee to Registered Childminder?

Apparently, the abuse levels are “no higher than anywhere else in the country.” Translation: Hey, don’t worry, statistically your toddler is just as safe with them as with Uncle Nigel in Doncaster. Comforting? Maybe. Bonkers? Definitely.

But let’s follow the Green logic to its absurd conclusion: forget nurseries, forget Ofsted, forget the terrifying waiting lists. Just drop your kids off at the local migrant centre, and voilà—affordable childcare and a real-life cultural exchange rolled into one. Snack time? Couscous. Story time? In five languages. Naptime? Good luck.

Because nothing says “progressive policy” quite like handing a juice box to a confused asylum seeker and shouting: “Congrats, you’re hired!”
