If their policy were truly the “solution” for Britain they claim it to be, they wouldn’t be using it as a threat. You don’t threaten someone with a school or a hospital.

It signals a total abandonment of the idea of “One Nation” politics. It says: “We only represent the people who like us; the rest of you are just infrastructure space for our bad ideas.”

If your flagship policy is so toxic that you have to promise your own voters they’ll never have to see it, maybe the problem isn’t the ‘open borders’ but instead the policy itself.

Scum.

So begins their Trumpian “punishment politics”.

Hard to tell these days if BBC articles are news or just more test marketing of right wing bullshit.
