I'm saying it's not even that. There are plenty of regular Joes who are in no way racist but believe that immigration is detrimental to the country's economy. They may well be wrong but it doesn't mean that it's anything personal.
That doesn't address my point. There are also plenty of people who are racist. When politicians don't dare say a certain thing, they dog-whistle.
More worryingly, Zac Goldsmith's recent 'campaign' to be elected Mayor of London went beyond it (and failed, mercifully). I think the Tories were using it as a trial for what's going on now.
