“Environmentalists are anti-immigration nationalists” - say what?
In an astonishingly bitter rant in defence of her right to buy foreign strawberries and beans, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown of The Independent has today stated in her column that environmentalists are anti-immigration. She provides no qualifiers—just anti-immigration, as if you’re either for or against it, in totality, without exceptions, full stop. She smears those of us who advocate buying local food as being racist nationalists, and provides many false and grossly offensive reasons why we advocate local produce while not referencing a single actually genuine reason.
