Do you have any evidence Blair engaged in anti-immigrant scare-mongering?

What do you mean do I have any evidence? His minister for immigration ran on a literal race-baiting ticket.

The Blair government was famous for trying to push through incredibly restrictive laws post 9/11.

You seem to be changing the goalposts. The initial dispute was about Blair's supposed anti-immigrant electioneering.

The tabloids would say "you're soft on immigrants, you love forrins" and Blair would go "no we're not see" and open Yarl's Wood.

But this is just normal electioneering. It's hardly anti-immigrant scaremongering, which is what I'm disputing.

That it is also *totally normal* for our political discourse does not, in my mind, fundamentally change that.

So it's a matter of perspective? Anything short of allowing anyone into the UK is anti-immigrant? (not being glib)

I see. Well, that is where we differ.
