Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

I'm baffled. How can Labour be this bad? Venal, even. There doesn't seem to be a way back from this. I'm just one moderate voter but I'm done.
