Immeasurably Cruel Opinions Not Just Preserve Of German Right Wing In '30s

Seems it wasn't just the Germans using abhorrent language in the 30s as this 1938 column from the Right-Wing Daily Mail shows.
With the headline 'German Jews Pouring Into This Country', the article warns of 'aliens entering the UK through the back door' and how 'stateless Jews and Germans are pouring in from every port of this country is becoming an outrage'.
The Home Secretary in 2023 said that 'illegal migrants pouring across the Channel every year, and in ever greater numbers' and that she would '
love to have a front page of the Telegraph with a plane taking off to Rwanda, that’s my dream, it’s my obsession'.
Seems the immeasurably cruel right wing in the 1930's wasn't just in Germany and the rhetoric today is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and the right wing over here ever since.

Actual Commies are thin on the ground but many, many Socialists and even more since the right wing made such a mess of things hence the huge lead for the Socialist Labour Party at the moment.

socialists are simply communists that lack commitment... they will come around or the communists will eliminate them... well, that is what lenin, stalin, mao, fidel did
