That would never get through parliament. There are a lot of Tory MPs who
are decent human beings and not caricatures. And then there's the Lords.

I'm sure 3 months ago people would have said the exact same thing about putting
the entire country under effective house arrest. Believe me, it would get
through and the lords are irrelevant anyway as any legislation can eventually
be forced through. All the lords do is delay it.
