Britain From The Tyne

Portsmouth tonight. Danny Tommo standing in front of the police, telling them their grandfathers didn’t storm beaches in 1944 so their grandsons could earn two grand a month waving people through. That is not a policy proposal, that is a man looking officers in the eye and saying the wage is not worth the betrayal. You can call it crude but, what he says is true. The clip is the country talking to the people paid to protect it. Is this the fringe, or is this what happens when the official line is, we’ll smash the gangs, and the boats keep coming?
