She is an expert. An expert in migration as it happens. Quite well placed to comment of the oppression of migrants. What is your definition of expert Julia - "agrees with Jacob Rees Mogg"?
-
She can't be "an expert in migration" if she thinks that anyone fairly questioning it is either racist or committing "hate crime". That is a 1st year error, not the conclusion of an expert.
-
They aren't fairly questioning migration. Even if they were, that's not what she's complaining about. She's complaining about the cynical oppression of people in this country legally for political purposes. It falls well within her remit as an expert.
-
She's complaining about a JRM giving a hate speech, which he wasn't. You don't need to be an expert to know she's wrong.
-
To be entirely fair we don't yet know whether or not it'll be a hate speech. For the record I don't think JRM hates migrants. I just think he is perfectly happy to exploit hatred towards migrants which is effectively the same.
-
We do know that "hate speech" now means nothing after the home secretary was accused of it for saying the same as Miliband had previously. I don't think this "hatred towards migrants" exists in the way you think it does. In the lunatic fringe perhaps.

So you only recognise expertise when it agrees with you. That sums up so much of what has gone wrong in our country

-
Who said that? You're the only one that said that. Do leavers just randomly deploy tired arguments without even taking the time to comprehend the world or what?
-
I was agreeing with you. The fact JHB seems to find the concept of expertise is just bizarre

Hmmm....is your disbelief based on the fact that the only "experts" you surround yourself with are professional bullshitters. So discount any probability of there being real ones?
