Obviously the NHS and care for the elderly are reliant on immigrants, but the UK has lergely flourished on the back of immigration for centuries. For Braverman, the daughter of two immigrants, to have been so hard-line on immigration while in office makes me want to weep. I know irony has been a no-no in political life since the sound-bite media era began, but now self-awareness is apparently an optional extra. One of the things that worries me about the appalling Farage is that he at least does seem aware that his continuing to pull the wool over the eyes of the nation is a joke, albeit in poor taste. Every time I see a photo of him grinning as he fondles his latest Tory deserter I wonder if he’s still amazed how many more rats he can pull aboard.
