Ukip has collapsed but still around
John Harris rightly states that the Windrush scandal highlights the "awful effects of social policy" designed to out-Ukip Ukip, and warns us that the party`s "mixture of opportunism, nastiness and resentment may yet take new forms" (Ukip may be gone but its ideas are locked into our politics, 23/04/18).We don`t have to look far.
It was only because the disastrous Brexit talks are going so badly, that suddenly Commonwealth countries became economically important to the UK, forcing May`s government into apologising and backtracking on the Windrush affair. Ukip may have "collapsed", but its ideas live on in the Tory party.
