The politics behind the Manston migrant centre row are even more sinister than they look

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : Nigel Farage described the lifeboat charity RNLI as being a "taxi service" for illegal immigration; a phrase you sometimes now hear from members of the public.
55% : One Tory pollster described this contingent to me as the "working-class, white-van man who might not have been engaged with politics before voting Conservative in 2019, or Brexit in 2016".
47% : At present, one can only seek asylum in this country by travelling here illegally: a catch-22 that means numbers crossing the Channel (which are at a record high) are very unlikely to fall.
