Can you honestly hand on heart watch that video linked above and say you are happy with Labour politicians blowing the same anti-migrant dog whistles as the Tories, Farage, etc. because some polling and some focus groups told them it would improve their chances of winning? Was selling out a price worth paying so someone you liked a bit more with a different colour tie said the same things?

Britain has many problems and if the people that caused them can't admit their role too then it'll never be solved or addressed. We will only be waiting for the next set of riots. It could be five, ten, fifteen years. Who knows. But it's out there and everyone has to ask whether they want to keep adding more fuel to the fire.

Can you actually answer the question posed ?
