It doesn’t mean you are advocating violence, of course it isn’t, but nobody can be surprised if after two decades of scapegoating migrants that anger boils over.

There’s been a long standing political choice from the centre ground that it’s cheaper to import workers than train people here. That’s where the net migration comes from - not the people on small boat crossings who have been scapegoated as a distraction.
