Do we want people to notice our policies or not? According to Nigel, we have just presided over an epic triumph — but shouldn’t we have told a few people while we were doing it?
If you ask me, it was a mistake giving the announcement to Damian. He was so polite and nice, no one noticed he was calling for an end to immigration. Poppy disgusted, called his performance ‘Rivers of Hugs’.
Damian’s preference was for an advertising campaign in new EU countries telling people that, if they wouldn’t mind, it would be awfully helpful if they didn’t come to Britain for a few years — unless of course they really had to, in which case, you know, well, fair enough.
Then DD got hold of the policy in between mountain peaks and it came out ‘cap on migrants’.
