Yet another British politician has been caught lying to make refugees look bad. Adam Holloway said he couldn’t get a haircut because his barber, a refugee from Iraq, had gone back there for a holiday. He said this in the House of Commons, as part of a scathing attack on refugees.

His barber has spoken up. Yes, he was on holiday with his wife and child, but he wasn’t in Iraq. He was at the seaside in Great Yarmouth, staying in a caravan and going to the shows. Which is very much not in Iraq.

Of all the holidays this chap could have been on, I love the fact that he was on the most British of summer holidays ever. Stories like this just make my day.
