In 1968, she tried to recruit Ziauddin Sardar to write for her journal "New Times", saying having a young "Asian" writing for her magazine would protect her against charges of racism being made against her owing to her anti-immigration crusade. Sardar recalled her expressing much approval of Enoch Powell's "Rivers of Blood" speech, and she argued to Sarder that her anti-immigration activities were primarily directed against black immigrants. Sardar remembered her saying: "Britain is in danger of being swamped by immigrants. As most immigrants do not and cannot speak proper English, as their uncouth cultures are totally alien to the green pastures of England, as their eating and hygiene habits are so different from ours, there's bound to be strife. There will be running battles in the streets". Apparently expecting Sardar to share her anti-black prejudices and to accept her offer, she was surprised to see him erupt in fury and reject it. As she stormed out of the Sardar house with her dog, Sardar's sister shouted "And I hate your stupid dog, too!"
