That's a liberal-communist paper, what do you expect?

I wouldn't describe it as such by a long shot, they constantly attacked Corbyn, praise MbS etc. It's your typical neoliberal piece, moving further to the right with each passing election cycle.
The guardian to the right? I mean, can they even admit that current immigration policies in the UK are problematic? Last time I tried reading a piece they couldn't seem to get over that hurdle, and that's turning out to be a pretty centrist view point in europe currently.
That's what neoliberal basically means. Liberal on social policies, (i.e. they don't want to seem as bigoted towards any group of people), however on the economic & foreign policy front, they're quite to the right by liberal standards, (i.e. pro interventionist policy).
Really?

Again I see immigration as mostly economic and foreign policy so being left on that isn't a good start. Throw in the wage gap (an econ issue they are far left on) or their pro-eu stance (very left econ wise).

Are you saying they are neoliberal because they are out and out socialists or something? What kind of right wing economic policies do they support aside from free trade which is not really strictly right/left anymore.

Speaking of not understanding words, you just called the Guardian communist...
