Listen to the inflammatory language around immigration, multiculturalism, press freedom – that old notion of British ‘moderation’ has gone for everSign up for our new weekly newsletter Matters of Opinion, where our columnists and writers will reflect on what they’ve been debating, thinking about, reading and moreWhile British rightwing politics has never been exactly a gentle pursuit, there is a longstanding assumption that its tone and content have limits.
