It was a total wet dream for liberal media luvvies Matt Frei and Jon Snow of Channel 4 News as they discovered Pepsi in the Calais Jungle. Originally from Indonesia, Pepsi had started adult life fighting as an Islamofascist terrorist before he moved to Libya where he came out as a homosexual which under the Gadaffi regime was, apparently, fine. But the Western backed rebels who ousted Tony Blair's pal Gadaffi were not so progressive when it came to gay folks so Pepsi, we are told, had to flee to Italy as an illegal immigrant. Actually he could have fled anywhere or even taken a plane back to Indonesia. He opted to illegally enter Italy and Europe but C4 gossed over that detail.
In Italy, Pepsi decided to start dressing as a woman but says he still likes to be described as male.
Clearly the place where Pepsi would fit in best is swinging London and thus Pepsi hiked it up to Calais and the jungle. Here it gets bad. Pepsi says most of the migrants there are conservative Muslims who are not big on LGBT issues. Indeed six of these conservatives are so anti gay that they took Pepsi out into a field and gang raped him.
Now Pepsi wants to apply to be in France rather than the UK. Channel Four, of course, wants us to let all the folks from the Jungle including those ultra conservative muslims who hate gays so much they gang rape them, into Britain. Luckily for Jon and Matt and the C4 liberals, the gang rapists will not end up getting housed anywhere near the posh bits of London where they live. They will be sent to live with the poor people and if the poor people don't like it, I guess that just makes them racists does it not?
Pepsi is not a refugee. He/she is clearly a migrant from Indonesia. The gang rapists are not refugees, they lost that status when they first set foot in a country that was deemed safe having left their homelands. That is if the homeland is unsafe which for many Jungle residents it is not.
The whole sad story of Pepsi shows what a mess this whole situation has become. But let's not allow hard questions or serious issues to get in the way of a tale which just ticks all the right boxes for London's liberal media millionaires. For folks like Jon Snow and Matt Frei, Pepsi's tale was a chance to show how truly pious they were, it was like Christmas had come early for the Guardian reading elitists.
