I'm not sure the Tories were always anti-immigrant. They've definitely become that over the course of the last twenty years, though.

Then in the 80's they spent a lot of time campaigning for the death penalty for Nelson Mandela....

Which was abhorrent. Not sure it's an immigration thing though - they thought Mandela was a terrorist.

20 years is probably too short a timescale though, I guess it has been burbling along since Windrush. I don't recall it being quite so overt 20 years ago, though.
