Everything about this - the cruelty of the policy, the glee with which the Sun celebrates it ('Bling Sting'), the racists who will lap it up - is sickening. The country is heading towards a very dark place

Illegal migration isn't tearing this country apart, but our obsession with it is. It's an obsession fuelled by our media and politicians. Both profit from blowing the problem out of all proportion. It's been happening for decades, but never more so than now
