TalkTV‘s Jeremy Kyle fumed that Andy Burnham cares more about migrants than British citizens as he laid into the Prime Minister following the furore over the proposed migrant centre in Piddington, Oxfordshire. Speaking on his morning show, he raged after learning the centre may potentially be cancelled due to environmental worries over a rare breed of newt in the area.
“The government were going to build a detention centre and put 1,250 migrant men…with a government-paid or rather taxpayer-funded minibuses to take them wherever they wanted to go in Oxfordshire, and perhaps the most interesting thing is a high-vis jacket because there’s a lack of pathways and lighting. You know, because let’s be honest, they were more concerned about the safety of migrants than they were of the people. Now, a group of people led by the excellent Tim McNally sort of said in the village, ‘This is unacceptable’,” he said.
“It got to the point where there was so much media interest they had this referendum yesterday, and this referendum absolutely categorically stated that these people had no respect or belief in its government, and that it needed to change.
“Whether that makes any difference or not… I mean, honestly, the Home Office – they’ve got to be idiots.
“The unaccounted presence of protected great crested newts, which is a protected species, could seek immediate legal action to constitute a wildlife violation.
“So crested newts are a protected species, but not men, women, and children of this country. That’s absolutely spot on, isn’t it?
“Sounds about right, doesn’t it? This is typically British story. Spotted these newts, and they are now suggesting a High Court challenge,” he raged.
The newt development comes just a day after residents of the village voted to secede from the UK in objection to the site. New reports now suggest has the Home Office may have made a catastrophic blunder by saying that there was no evidence of protected animals at the site.
Campaigners in the sleepy village say that mandarins will need to redo their ecological assessment of the site and introduce measures to move the newts.
As a result, the Home Office could be open to a legal challenge from locals keen on saving the protected newt species.
