Refugee Barges - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 07 Aug 2023

This week the #uk government started moving #refugee applicants from hotels onto a #barge floating in the sea.

@pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading and finds that the refugees are grateful to have escaped, and have much potential to offer society. But mean-spirited sullen idiots are jealous, so punish them with a purgatory of bureaucracy and confinement instead of accepting their valuable contributions.

Luckily, the cards say this time must pass, that the more humane majority of society will eventually end this madness.

Summary

The refugees have much to give: They are grateful to have escaped, and offer loyalty in return for happiness

They have great potential, youth, hard work, resourcefulness.

But they are stuck in monotonous purgatory, unable to work or contribute or do much other than sit about waiting to be processed.

Because petty mean-spirited jealousy drives a section of the population who have the balance of power right now, and so the refugees are mistreated in inconsiderate and obsessive ways.

They think that the refugees are in luxury, rather than in purgatory, and so are determined to make their life harder, punishing them instead of accepting their contributions.

But, this time will pass.
There will eventually be a rise of the magnanimous and altruistic part of our society,

It might be a while yet though, this does not sound like Starmer eh?
