The policy, which some critics said was “reminiscent of the Nazi era,” was just one part of the Labour Party’s total overhaul of the nation’s asylum system, which it says must be made much more restrictive in order to fend off rising support for the far-right.

One day the policy of fending off the far right by becoming them surely has to pay off. Maybe once the last Labour supporter has left and turned the lights off.
