My take is that the poison is the build up of anti immigrant xenophobic borderline racist rhetoric that (to my mind) seeped into general discourse over the past few weeks.

Are you saying that immigration is an administration of poison to this country? Quote
Not at all. Only in the very large doses that we've been subjected to for many years now. Is poison really the right word to describe immigrant / immigration? If anything, I'd say the reaction of some towards immigrants / immigration borders on poisonous.

In terms of how Turk's are represented I think there's underlying racism behind some of it. I personally don't think Turkey will ever fulfil the criteria to join in my lifetime, which for Turks is a pity because they could do with the improved democracy and freedom that would result from doing so. What was quite telling was when Gove talked about 5 countries involved in accession talks but only named two, Turkey and Albania. There are 35 chapters Turkey has to complete before fulfilling the criteria and in 10 years it's achieved 1 so Turkey has just been brought into the debate to s*** stir.

I think there's a good chance that his links with hard right wing ideology alongside photos of Mair (if it was him) behind a Britain First banner shows him to be racist.
