Activists give Tories a Barbie makeover

WITH Barbie frenzy reaching its peak as the film hits cinemas, a group of activists has seized the moment to give top Tories a makeover.

Over the weekend, a collection of Barbie-themed posters protesting the recently enacted Illegal Migration Bill appeared on bus stops around London.

“This Barbie is gagging to deport your grandmother,” says one featuring architect of the Rwanda scheme Priti Patel.

A “Ken” version of Jacbo-Rees Mogg is branded “a white supremacist” who is “cos-playing as a 1930s-era aristocrat,” while Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is slammed for “the most forceful pushback of the human rights of migrants and asylum-seekers in modern British history.”

The ads are thought to have been placed by activist group Lesbians and Gays Support the Migrants, who posted them on Twitter.

Passed last Monday, the Illegal Migration Bill condemns refugees to automatic deportation if they enter by irregular means such as small boats.

Those who do so will be expelled to their “country or to a safe country where any asylum claim will be considered,” such as Rwanda.
