Are you finding it politically unrewarding to run an asylum system that keeps people safe? It’s hard! We’ve got the solution for the ambitious politician... BÖRDER KRISÍS!

Build it yourself and see how useful it can be to justify things like an #AntiRefugeeBill. Instructions⬇️

Here’s what you’ll need to get started on your BÖRDER KRISÍS.

You need a big frame for your BÖRDER KRISÍS. Don’t worry that your frame doesn’t fit the facts, the rest of the steps will show you how to make it look like the facts fit your frame.

Remember, when you’re building a BÖRDER KRISÍS – appearances are everything.

BÖRDER KRISÍS will grab attention and make a statement about exactly what kind of politician you are. So don’t hide it in a corner!

Find the perfect spot in newspaper headlines and TV news coverage. If you’re really desperate, stand next to your BÖRDER KRISÍS pointing at it.

First, trim down safe routes into the UK to almost nothing. Now it’s time to use the clamp. The clamp is for ‘clamping down’.

BÖRDER KRISÍS is so timeless and versatile because the clamp is adjustable. If you prevent people from arriving to the UK you can claim success...

…if you can’t prevent people from arriving, simply adjust to clamping down on lawyers, charities and people seeking asylum themselves.

Clamp down very firmly. It might cause the law to break but if anyone says it’s too firm, tell them it’s fair as well.

You can paint your BÖRDER KRISÍS in very broad strokes, using the same brush throughout. Don’t worry about all the different, complicated elements that you’re painting over.

As with all aspects of BÖRDER KRISÍS, the key thing is not what’s underneath but how you make it look.

Once you’ve painted your BÖRDER KRISÍS, it’s time to affix your mirror.

You’ll notice that the mirror is not flat, but that’s as intended – it’s designed to distort things so they reflect back the way you want them to be seen.

Unfortunately, there are standards your BÖRDER KRISÍS is supposed to meet. Ignore some of these, but try a ‘consultation’!

A 'consultation' is great for papering over any cracks that appear. Remember, you can’t use a broken consultation. So make sure yours is fixed.

Your finished BÖRDER KRISÍS might seem flimsy, incoherently thrown together and easy to dismantle but don’t worry, you just need to know how to use it.

Your BÖRDER KRISÍS grabs attention. You’ll get so much usage out of it you may end up talking about little else.

Here’s how to make the most of it:

✅Build your BÖRDER KRISÍS big and distracting enough to hide behind while you work on your #AntiRefugeeBill.

✅BÖRDER KRISÍS draws the focus away from things you don’t want people to look at, like the appalling state of asylum accommodation or other scandals you’d rather not talk about.

✅BÖRDER KRISÍS is extendable. Keep clamping down and you can wheel it out whenever you want.

GUARANTEE!

🌟You'll never be held responsible for damage caused by your BÖRDER KRISÍS.

🌟BÖRDER KRISÍS can work with any material if you twist it to fit.

🌟Always sold separately from asylum reform that delivers justice and safety.
