British Press Stupidly Dumbfounded at Response to 'Unaccompanied Minor' Appearance

Britain's newest unaccompanied minors from the Calais
Jungle arrived with towels over faces to 'protect' their identity. Measures taken only after the initial unaccompanied minors were met with disbelief by their readers. Damage control articles scolded readers 'these are those most vulnerable' 'their appearance is only a byproduct of war or background' 'Ignore the obvious signs of adulthood!.' No medical checks necessary as the department continues to go off vague requirements relying heavily on a minor's declaration of age sans proof.

Each new blunder by the Home Office on the insistence to not bother with medical checks digs the press into a futher hole. For months they fed images of sweet toddlers holding dirty blankies, mothers clutching innocent babies, and families broken-hearted in the midst of deplorable refugee camps. These were the vulnerable ones they cried! How can a people be so selfish as to close their borders to those most desperately in need of help?! Shame on any who refuse to open a home to them! 

The heartbreaking images were a complete mockery when fourteen teenagers and young men stepped off a bus fresh from the Calais Jungle into the arms of a waiting crowd. How ironic to see those most vulnerable contained no teary toddlers, no young mothers with sweet babes, and lacked a single girl. Girls, the sex most vulnerable in the Calais camp, the ones most at risk of sexual assault in an environment predominantly of men from cultures whose views on women vary greatly. Are there no vulnerable unaccompanied girls in Calais? Are There no pregnant woman in Calais in dire need of adequate prenatal care? Has the press not been spending months using their images to evoke a movement to open British borders to them? 

Every press member who did their best to hide the blatant fact most 'refugees' are young men deserve the public's ire. The carefully crafted story unraveled before the public on the day those unaccompanied minors arrived. Scolding the public for their disgust at finding the vast majority refugees to not be the innocent mothers and children they toted is dumbfounding. The press has only one option to save what fragile trust the public holds in their words. Admit the farce they have been perpetuating since the refugee crisis began. Kindly remove their cranium from up their posterior. Finally stop pissing on the public with half-truths and return to their purpose: telling the facts without the BS.
