I don't know why Newt took that description as my opinion.
It was intended to illustrate the populist stupidity of that particular policy. As far as I can see, they either a) can't do anything realistic to achieve that aim or b) do something massively over the top, like I described*.
Personally, I incline towards a). My general impression of the BNP is a bunch of people who're less intelligent even than normal politicians, full of populist ideas with no serious way of implementing them, outside of forcibly collapsing our economy and/or installing a police state.
*feel free to correct me.
