Good piece.
She was joined by Matteo Renzi and Tony Blair, all of whom agreed in a recent Guardian interview that controls on immigration were needed to fend off the advance of the far right.

It's not as if immigration is uncontrolled FFS. I'm now officially pissed off that the Guardian panders to these fascist-enablers, really am.
This is something I have argued for the past 20 years on OTF and I'm glad some here are finally coming round to it.

Some probably are of course but I would like to think that most aren't (however, their thinking might be laced with plenty of preconceptions and prejudice, that's more likely). I happen to have met and know a few actually (journalists), nice people, not racist but pretty disconnected from reality. And that in itself poses its own challenges.

She absolutely needs to go the fuck away and never be heard from again, but I think there's more of a chance of her running in 2020 than not.

To be fair to the Guardian they publish articles such as this one:

Oh wait, I'm starting to sound like a populist.

It kind of just seems as though there's a solid population of hateful dickheads and morons in every country, and they seem to be coming out in force in varying degrees in varying countries.

Presumably this is part of her strategy to get into the 2020 race, as it can be heard as an anti-Mexican dogwhistle in the US. But making herself Trump-lite surely won't win many primaries with large non-white electorates.
Moreover "curbing immigration" in this context would mean dismantling the asylum principle that has existed since the 1940s. That is a huge step rightward, unthinkable even when Blair was PM.

Oh, I know that didn't mean it literally but it was an awful reaction. If the interviewer genuinely got confused because the two people are black, it does no good to highlight this especially with such a loaded phrase. Let it stay as a mistake. If the interviewer got two people with genuinely similar names - as I do with David Tennant and David Morrisey, for instance - then definitely don't bring attention to the fact they are black. If you are black and want to fuck around with the "they all..." trope then fine.
