If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees,
either
- it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents
or
- it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p>A <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinian</a> father has accused the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/uk" target="_blank">British</a> government of putting his family in <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Gaza</a> "in constant danger" after it failed to evacuate them, despite promising to do so more than two months ago. </p>
<p>Lawyers representing the Palestinian man, who is in the UK and wishes to remain anonymous to protect his family, said his wife, three children and adopted nephew remain stranded in the Zawida area of Gaza after being displaced by <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israeli</a> bombardment. </p>
<p>The family lives in a flimsy tent with little access to food, clean water or medical care as they continue to wait for the British government to evacuate them. </p>
<p data-end="1108" data-start="868">"My family are in constant danger, and I worry about them every minute of every day," the man told Middle East Eye. "The UK government promised to help them but has now gone back on that promise for no good reason, while they continue to suffer.</p>
<p data-end="1360" data-start="1110">"My children are so scared, they cannot sleep because of the constant hunger and fear that strikes will resume at any minute. I can't bear to be separated from my wife and children - if anything happens to them, my own life will not be worth living."</p>

I like this definition of politics. There is almost no sense of collective responsibility in public policy these days (or at least, in the bits I pay attention to), just partisan jostling for victory.
