Political Logic

[poliphilo]

It's the party conference season. We've had the Lib Dems and Labour and now it's the Tories' turn. Michael Howard was just delivering his keynote speech. He wants to withdraw from the 1951 treaty on refugees and severely prune immigration. And then, as a sentimental coda, he told us how his grandmother died in Auschwitz and how he'd have died there too if Winston Churchill hadn't let his family in.

I don't get his thinking here; I really don't.
