“Racism – the worst kind”
As opposed to the good kind and the OK-ish kind, presumably?
John,
Please. Don’t be a git.
There are lots of shades of racism. But I think the lynching kind is probably the worst.

Defeated but not beaten. There is already a new bill that will be introduced in an ‘emergency’.
Hmm. While obviously I see where you’re coming from, I thought it seemed like an ill-judged phrase in the context.
More pragmatically, it’s the sort of thing that will actually alienate moderate-ish people with mild racist leanings, rather than the kind of under-the-radar dog-whistle stuff that people can fool themselves is OK…
