The Labour government — in an Olympic-level display of political gymnastics — has decided the real villain in Britain’s border crisis isn’t incompetence, corruption, or catastrophic cowardice… it’s paperwork. Yes, apparently the reason prisoners vanish, illegal crossings explode, and nobody seems to be in charge is because… too many forms exist.

🧻 If We Can Fight Hitler with Paper, Why Can’t We Track a Prisoner?

Let’s do a quick reality check.

Britain once ran two world wars, built an empire (for better or worse), and kept half the globe ticking using paper. PAPER. Pens. Clipboards. Morse code. Carrier pigeons, for crying out loud.

And now we’re being told that we can’t track prisoners or protect our borders because the system is still on paper? What next — blaming the ink cartridge?

It’s not the paper that’s weak. It’s the political will.

We’ve got leaders who can find £4 billion for foreign projects but can’t afford a working database for violent offenders.

We’ve got a Parliament that can push through biometric tracking for everyday citizens but somehow can’t locate a man who jumped the fence at a detention centre.

We’ve got ministers with more security around their wine fridges than at Dover. 🍷🔓

Let’s be clear: it’s not a paper border — it’s a paper Parliament. Fragile, flammable, and completely useless when things get tough.

Borders aren’t broken because of outdated forms. They’re broken because we’ve elected career dodgers and professional excuse machines. People who see mass migration, collapsing public order, and criminal exploitation as just background noise — as long as the press release sounds good and the donor list is happy.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are left wondering: if the country can’t even keep a prisoner inside a cell, how the hell is it going to defend a border?

Spoiler: it won’t. Not unless we stop blaming stationery and start holding people to account. 🧾🪓
