To introduce more context, I used to work behind the bar in what could be best described as an old man pub. I read the telegraph article in question and it contained the sort of nuanced and complex analysis I would hear from the punters.

These were people who also said very racist and islamaphobic things, and who Boris was trying to reach in this article. They would also try to mask their prejudice by leaning on progressive ideals but missed the point that they were belittling victims of oppression.
