Farage is leveraging similar processes - the only policies he's come up with for the Brexit party are those which most people look at and think 'what a thoroughly sensible idea'. They then trade the thoroughly sensible ideas against the extreme nut-job policies and come to a decision that you can forgive a bit of minority hating in order to pay off student debts.

Fascist Extremists don't initially take to the streets in shiny uniforms with guns. They start the process with those sensible policies and before you know it have taken control and are oppressing anyone they don't like.

No he’s right wing.
If that was true wouldn't I agree with him a bit on some stuff?

I'm sort of middle-of-the-Tories right wing, and I bet I wouldn't share a single political view with him. If we were both simply right wing but me less so, wouldn't I just sort of half agree with all his opinions?

Sporky's comment about five up is very accurate.

Do you own "right-wing" in some way?

Anyway, how do you know what his views on other things are? You might share loads of views with him. So might I, for that matter.

I don't especially care, I'm just glad he's been put away for a long time.
Ditto. Utter lowlife, whatever his views.

"Hilter - a socialist for the many - but not the Jew" was a slogan I saw in Berlin a few years ago!

Right but he’s replying to he saying that guy wasn’t right wing because you think you wouldn’t agree with him on anything. Which is nonsense.

He’s obviously right wing. Whether you or I agree with him on anything is both unknown and irrelevant.

Jesus fcensoredg wept, what is it with the left? Whether you like him or not - I actually do as he's prepared to challenge politicians of all parties when they get interviewed - the guy's trying to help raise both money and awareness about something that needs to be fixed in our society.

It was lefties that causes some of the homeless issues. In cardiff police used to force beggars and the homeless into sheltered accommodation and off the streets. Some of these were dry shelters and offered some help.


Lefties started having a go at the police and council staff as they moved them on. Some of it was quite nasty so the council buckled and gave up as did the police. We now have an increase in homelessness, an increase in drink and drugs with no way of breaking the cycle and empty beds in shelters.

I like Grayson Perry a lot. His art, books and his TV stuff. His lockdown prog with his wife was a TV highlight of that period.

I think maybe left wing voices are much louder on social media, so we are exposed to more of the lefts intolerant views than the rights.

"The Left is more venal and has more antipathy to the opposition than the other way round. "

That's because of this way of thinking;

"The Labour Party is a moral crusade, or it is nothing."

If you disagree, you are not just wrong, you are a bad person.

I shouldn't do it, but I can't resist baiting lefties these days. Not in a nasty way, just casual comments about not remembering past Labour governments in a favourable way, and then watching them go off like bottles of pop.
