This is getting worse by the day.

Faced with a horrendous public image and a processing backlog that is turning Manston into a concentration camp. Herr Braverman looks likely to continue with plans for, no doubt costly and time consuming, x-rays, CT scans or MRIs to investigate the age of migrants. Who would dream up such as scheme? of course the answer is Priti Patel, the modern day Mengele.
Who will get the juicy contracts to perform and administer such tasks? What will happen to the data? What safeguards will be in place for young and vulnerable people?
A spokesperson for Care4Calais
“The government’s plans for the Home Office to take over the age dispute process and to use methods such as X-rays have already been criticised by experts, including evidence that it will produce inaccurate results causing more harm to young refugees. It’s time the government ditched the rhetoric and adopted a kinder, more compassionate approach to age disputes.”
Fat chance of the latter.
In other related news, much celebration as 'contractors' managed to ship out bus loads of people from Manston.

I know I'm making some assumptions here but I'm guessing the 'contractors' are tory donor linked cash cows that are world class in rinsing public money out of the treasury, but utterly incompetent at carrying out the task being paid for as per everything related to covid, ferry contracts et all.
Case in point...

In light of the news in the tweet perhaps a suggestion for the gates of Manston could be:
