Our New Tough Stance

Connoisseurs of clear blue water will be gratified to see that Team Starmer's spiritual godfather contemplated wog containment measures barely distinguishable from the present Government's policy of internment, transportation and occasional assisted suicide. Even before they set about their industrial-scale refugee creation programme in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Reverend Tony and his company of saints were plotting concentration camps in Scotland and deportations to Turkey, Kenya and the Falkland Islands. Someone suggested ordering the UN to set up "regional safe havens" to give the master race a choice of convenient locations; and the Downing Street chief of staff recommended breaking our international treaty obligations and then passing a law to say we hadn't, even as the present rabble plan to do over Rwanda. The Reverend himself decreed that "we must not allow the ECHR to stop us dealing with it," thereby pre-emptively bestowing his divine approval upon the doctrine, now universally accepted among the sensible and moderate, that politicians are above the law.
