Lo! An angel of the lord chief justice did come down among us. And he did say that Christmas dreams should all come true. Suella Braverman was sore amazed and did fall to her knees in thanks. The lord chief justice was indeed bountiful. If not entirely merciful.

The home secretary did well remember her dreams that had been revealed to her in her sleep. And while she was awake. For Suella’s heart was filled with hatred. The hatred known only unto the truly unrighteous. How she had longed to arrest some scared foreigners who had alighted on British shores in search of asylum! And from the beach to put them straight on a plane and fly them to Rwanda. A country from which many of its own inhabitants wanted to flee. There to live in terror. This was what the baby Jesus would have wanted.
