Labour isn’t fixing policing or illegal immigration – it’s building a surveillance state

Surveillance states don’t drop from the sky. They emerge alongside seemingly reasonable excuses that do not ring alarm bells for the ordinary citizen, piggybacking on genuine issues that are of concern to the public. In this case, with breathtaking cynicism, labour are using people’s justified concerns about immigration and the rise in crime to impose what Mahmood unironically describes as a panopticon state upon law-abiding citizens, whilst – typically for this government – doing nothing to address the root cause.

    While I am primarily Asian in ancestry, through my wife and through my mother I have some connections to the UK. Interestingly enough, all Celtic. While I have long wanted to visit those parts of my heritage; today I would no more visit the UK than I would Russia.
