On an average day in the UK:
3,700 are forced to visit a food bank.
5,400 suffer domestic violence.
4,750 sleep rough on the streets.
4 migrants arrive in boats across the Channel.
Guess which one the government is calling a “crisis”?
Procedure for greeting guests:
1. Shout “THEY’RE HERE!”
2. Scurry around the house frantically for a bit for no real reason
3. Skulk and spy from window
4. Await doorbell
5. Pause for a few seconds, open door, start joyfully shouting as if it’s all a massive delightful surprise
