Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses anti-immigrant rhetoric in three countries: the UnitedKingdom, Ireland and Sweden, covering the period of 2020 – 2024. Based on anin-depth analysis of the statements issued by leading politicians of the countriesand civic expressions in the form of protests and demonstrations, some com-mon traits can be identified as leading motives in the public populistic discourse.The three shades of populism have, however, their distinctions stemming fromcultural, political and economic specifics of the countries. Deconstructing ofthe internal pattern of the populistic discourse may help liberal democracies re-spond effectively to the challenges posed by simplistic and thus often misleadingrhetoric.
