| Without realising it, you've hit the nail on the head, Janice. Vital services are collapsing. They are collapsing because of 12 years of misrule. The NHS, social services, the police, the justice system and public housing have never before been so starved of funds and brought so low. It's a convenient fiction that immigrants, legal or illegal, place undue stress on all these services. The Conservative Government's pitch, taking advantage of the xenophobia released from the Pandora's box of the Brexit referendum, is to portray itself as the staunch guardian of our borders. To that end it needs to promote the idea of an ongoing "crisis" as a means of justifying itself and of diverting attention from its manifest failures, or excusing those failures. We are all being politically gaslighted. |
