This is their golden ticket. A policy that appeals to knuckle-dragging racists, to a sub section of the electorate that don't understand the momentous issues facing this country reach far beyond a family of Afghans reaching our shore looking for a shitty one bed hovel they can call safe haven. And for those knuckle-draggers on here that are hard of comprehension, an illegal immigrant cannot claim a single penny from the state whilst here; go and take that pertinent fact to your GB news hate groups and disseminate.
The Tories are now scraping the bottom of their large desperate barrel, and as repugnant as the policy is, I admit I'm enjoying watching this sorry shitshow from afar. In years to come, when that weasels political career is over, I do wonder if he'll realise he was always just a fall guy.
