Hostile environments go way beyond immigration | Letters
The term "hostile environment" (Opinion, 30 April) has only, so far, been used in an immigration context. As the widower of a late multiple sclerosis sufferer I also see this political ambience in a number of other areas. Disabled people have been discriminated against over the past several years and have certainly been subjected to a "hostile environment". And society, in general, has also suffered from the "hostile environment" of the austerity agenda perpetrated on us over the past several years by the "nasty party". Common to all of this has been Mrs May. I trust that she and her Brexit hardliners will not throw us out into a world economic "hostile environment".

" It does not surprise me in the least about the hostile environment for immigrants. I wish the Guardian could discover similar targets for reducing the number of sickness benefit claimants, which has caused so much suffering that many people have killed themselves.
