The economic illiteracy that underpinned and underpins Thatcherism has done so much damage over the years.
It has also produced countless half wits.

Explain to me how mass immigration is a 'left wing' concept.
I can't fathom how people swallowed this idea wholesale.
- Endless supply of cheap labour helps capitalists, not workers
- Strip mining of talent from developing countries is a form of neocolonialism
- Endless pressure on the housing market inflates assets and prevents the poorest from having reasonably priced homes
- A refusal to train enough people here removes vocation paths that the working class used to follow
- The most negative social and cultural second order consequences are happening to working class, deindustrialised or neglected areas
So it's left wing how?
I can see how anti-immigrant sentiment can be seen as ethnonationalism and therefore right wing.
But I can't see how support for mass immigration is left wing.
And to be clear: it's not just a part of left wing thought. It's now so central to left wing thought, apparently, that any divergence from this immediately makes you 'far right'.
