    Bit of an understatement to worry about being the “nasty” party when you’re actively murdering people in their own homes by choking benefits and allowing companies to price gouge us, as well as selling the country off to the highest bidder you doddering old cunts.

        Well there’s no danger of that. They can’t even get them into a boat in our own country.

        And the plan is Ascension Island now apparently, although it might as well be the fucking moon for how feasible it is.

        All to avoid doing paperwork and actually processing them like everyone else seems able to.

    The risk of us being tarnished then as the nasty party again, I think, becomes very real.

    I understand that this is more aimed at moderate conservatives but still… Isn’t it just a wee bit late to be realising this?

        Two possibilities:

        1. It would be ineffective and so pointless.

        2. It would be effective, but then once Labour get into power and implement something vaguely Tory (or can be spun to be a bad thing), the Conservatives will conveniently ignore the fact that they would have implemented something similar and start saying “well who’s the Nasty party now?” followed by jeers. And since, in this scenario, it was effective for Labour ousting the Tories, there’s a strong chance it’ll cause a swing back the other way next time.

        Secret third possibility: Something something Blairite something something Blue Labour something something people sharing a glass house, etc. (Frankly at this point we have a choice of frying pan or fire and staying in this pan isn’t doing us any good. Time to give the fire a go I reckon. Maybe the embers will glow red.)

    No shit… 13 years of the country run to absolute exhaustion and you’re still not sure how to read the room boys and girls?

    The disguise never fooled us all. Some of us could always see them as what they are…

    I can assure you that I’ve been seeing them as the nasty party uninterruptedly for the last forty years.

    Never changed, this guy must be coming off a 30 year crack binge to miss that one.
