Had the 'pleasure' of listening to Zia Yussuf (remember him? He's the one who originally tried to resign from Reform because they were too racist, but was somehow convinced by Führage to stay...) trying to defend Reform's new immigration policy on R4 this morning.
It's scary how much of their rationale doesn't even stand up to the most basic of scrutiny, but will no doubt be lapped up by their target demographic.
For example, claiming that immediate deportation of illegal immigrants will reduce the burden on the NHS, pensions, and welfare system. My understanding was that, by virtue of their being illegal migrants, they wouldn't even be able to access pensions or the welfare system? |  |

i just can't see what your strategy is for avoiding a farage government. truth, honesty, principles and human decency all seem very good reasons for avoiding that outcome. i also think immigration policy needs public consent and an electoral mandate - what we have currently has neither. |
Well, that’s a quick switch from insulting to flattery.
I don’t have a strategy to defeat Farage, I have one vote, so I don’t have to have a strategy to beat Farage. But I am allowed to voice an opinion when the chance arises.
However, if I was in charge, I wouldn’t be saying, lads, you know that formation and playing style that has seen us on a losing streak, yeah, against all evidence, let’s keep doing that and hope it works, right let’s get out there….
If I was a strategist, I wouldn’t be forming policy to appease Farage on immigration.
I would promote lots of stories about the contribution asylum seekers have made to the U.K.
If you remember the question time episode when Jack Straw was on with that BNP person, Jack Straw read out some of the names written on his local war memorial. |  | | |
