The previous times I used fingerprint collection and although the other hormone readings were reliable, the T was completely wild and inaccurate (10x normal !)

Nigel Farage here basically pointing to the conspiracy theory "The Kalergi Plan" in which combatants are secreted into target nations to foment race war.
Instead of calling his bullshit out, the Labour rep assures him the govt is turbocharging deportations, thus sane-washing far-right rhetoric.

Knowing a schizophrenic person very well has indelibly colored my view of people.
It takes years to stop sane-washing the insane. When you finally accept that there was never hidden meaning behind the insanity, you start recognizing the insanity of others everywhere.

Excellent article. The Republican coalition is held together by racist bigotry, social conservatism, and Trump worship.
Most establishment media works to ignore that reality. Cable news is filled with Republicans sane-washing Trump and his bigotry. It's "uncivil" to tell the truth.
