While @thesundaytimes can report on the very fringe middle-class professional banker seeking to relegitimise racism for a better spoken far right, its perhaps best not to tweet it out like its some celebrity fashion shoot. ht @StevePeers https://twitter.com/thesundaytimes/status/998141535177895936 …

"Heil Hipsters" is the
@sundaytimes print headline. Which seems a pretty terrible misjudgment to me. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/8988b1ce-5b9b-11e8-94fc-3fbd0b39cd83?CMP=Sprkr-_-Editorial-_-thesundaytimes-_-Unspecified-_-TWITTER …pic.twitter.com/42ubIdZgZz

You’ve badly misread that article - it said most young people did not recognise a politician from the 60s, and included nothing about their views on immigration, simply asked do they know about a speech from 5 decades ago. Unsurprisingly, you had to be there...
