Talking to Tories worse than locking up foreign kids

Tom Brake has just written a measured article about ending child detention on Comment Is Free. What's the response in the comments? Unbridled snark.

Now it was outrageous that Labour ever allowed child detention. But it seems now that not only did Labour tribalists allow it, but that would prefer kids to be locked up than that any LD should ever have negotiated or compromised with the Tories. Nothing, it seems, can excuse this heinous betrayal. Collaborating with Tories is EVIL EVIL EVIL whereas locking up kids - well, that's just politics.
