It’s the classic far-right tactic of going around saying the most insane and impractical plan they can think of, so anything slightly less bad is viewed as reasonable by comparison.

The only problem was she was home secretary at the time, and actually in charge of the borders.
You’re never quite sure if mockery or horror is the right response.
