“The only cost-effective way to stop illegal immigrants trying to storm through the Channel Tunnel is to set up a machine gun and take out a few people,” Steve Uncles, the extreme right-wing English Democrats' candidate for the post Kent Police and Crime Commissioner, wrote in an August 4 Facebook rant. “[T]hat would stop it very quickly and immediately cut dead this tactic … who has got the guts to do this in our politically correct society?” Uncles is an outlier on the racist far-right of English politics, but his rhetoric differed only in degree from that of Tory government ministers and could be matched by commentators in the tabloid press. The English Democrats' immigration policy explicitly cites Australia's immigration policy as a model. In this respect Uncles and the English Democrats are trendsetters more than outliers. https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/59790 -- “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is humanity’s original virtue.
