1) Blair, PJ Patterson, Julius Malema, Tinubu!
Blair-opens up an island society that is extremely insular to mass immigration in one fell swoop. PJ Patterson-liberalises the Jamaican economy on a Sunday afternoon.
2) Malema-in the most xenophobic society in the world promises to open borders to all Africans immediately on election. Tinubu-removes fuel subsidy in one fell swoop.
In all cases things that require 10, 20 or even 30 years of gradual introduction are done in one fell swoop.

The sneering and the sniggering and the bullying is all to drown out any discussion of politics xitter.cf/SaulStaniforth/status/…
.@zarahsultana rightly says politicians should call whats happening as racist and Islamophobic.
Ed Balls forgets he's meant to be the interviewer and gets annoyed because politicians and the media are being held accountable for where we are now #GMB
We need to think about Empire and how it has affected peoples minds.
Apart from Yaxley-Lennon, Farage, Braverman, Starmer and all the other politicians who have normalised racism in this country need to stand trial for incitement. Thugs in suits.
