In reply to DT_AUS.

You and I normally agree, DT, but in this case you’re victim blaming to some extent. The major parties have all made written manifesto commitments to deal with this issue and then encouraged it. Where they have made serious attempts to stop migrants (Rwanda) they have been balked by their own civil servants, a Marxist judiciary and a left wing broadcast media and they have lacked the courage (in the case of the Tories) or the desire (Labour) to bring these to heel.

The result is that democracy has effectively collapsed within the UK. Reform is now the only credible party with a genuine desire and will to lance this boil. Whether they will be able to actually achieve anything remains to be seen. It’s not a simple problem.

Just repealing the HRA and repudiating ECHR won’t be enough. Many international agreements on refugees will have to be unpicked as well. And then there’s the obstructive element within Whitehall and the judiciary. Thousands of civil servants will have to sidelined, disciplined or sacked and immigration judges dismissed. I believe Farage has the desire to do all of this. Whether the rest of his party has the intestinal fortitude to follow it through remains to be seen.

I hope so because, without this, I think the UK will descend into violence. I’m unsure we can get through to 2029 without that happening anyway. It will only take a few more suppressed stories about immigrant crime to be exposed and the people’s fury might well boil over.
