Well, of course they don’t. It’s kite-flying, grandstanding, vindictive, hateful shite. Alas, there will be some fuckwits who will love this and look no further, but on the whole I think this could backfire on Reform/Farage quite badly. Well, hopefully.

It won't. When it goes to shit they'll blame everyone else, just like they will for everything.

Even if it did, and there were zero immigrants left in Reform areas, the knuckleheads would find their lives remain exactly the same and move on to look for the next scapegoat to blame for their lives being shit. Look at the riot arrests two years ago, 40% had domestic violence convictions (and that's just the convictions, not arrests, or withdrawn witness statements, or technical acquittals etc etc). These people do not have the mental dexterity to take accountability for their own lives. It's always someone else's fault.

Which is Niemoller's poem in a nutshell.

I don't think so. "Put it where the Greens are" is a version of the US "send em to Martha's Vineyard", which I'd guess played pretty well with the base.

Law and order stuff is a relatively small part of the budget. Reform will just knock it off benefits.

Massachussetts is a long way away from Shitkick, Oklahoma. In the UK, the leafy green suburbs are slap bang next to the rough estates.
