Opaque in every way.

So the solution to the this counties questioning about the age of the "children" who are being brought in from Calais, who don't seem to match the concept of children at risk which we were sold as the reason for fast tracking their importation, is to put up sheeting so we can't see the people coming off the buses. So much for the open governance the transparency we all desire.

Once again the general public are conned. Their fears dismissed as irrelevant, not worthy of consideration especially if it reveals that the top down design is something else, something many would take umbrage at.
This game of democratic accountability is severely flawed if we don't have accountable government. The acceptance level of politics and politicians falls each year as we assume we are being lied to.
Where are the leaders with guts to say "this is what we are going to do for such and such a reason". Argue their case and if necessary take the flack politically but this ongoing deceit is so unhealthy.
There may be good reasons for bringing teenagers and young adults in first. Perhaps the young children can't be brought over because they don't have relatives here which was part of the fast tracking arrangement but we need to know and putting up opaque sheeting is defiantly not the way to gain our trust.
