Do people think that events like Hitler’s rise to
power, of Pol Pot’s reign of terror or Stalin’s repressive hold over Russians
for decades are merely episodes in history; and that these events are somehow
removed from their existence, that they can never occur here?
OK, so it’s probably a safe bet this isn’t happening
in the next few years. However, once outside the EU things could change
drastically for the worse. A Tory government pushed further to the right by an resurgent
UKIP could dispense with our human rights legislation. They could neuter our
equalities laws. Moves such as the introduction of the death penalty are not
beyond the scope of a Conservative government.
We could be in such a position by 2025.
