Again, what far right? Where is it? Point to a credible far right political organisation in this country? Not drunken uneducated knights templar re-enactment societies that meet in shithole pubs under railway arches to drink lager and discuss football hooliganism; and not vloggers, bloggers and one-man-band keyboard warriors either: actual properly organised and funded far-right political organisations. And don't shriek THE TORIES!!! or UKIP!!!!, let's be grown-up for once: real far-right organisations in thrall to the cult of leadership and which promote authoritarianism and the rule of man over the rule of law, social and ethnic cleansing through force, the militarisation of society and the expansionist projection of military power beyond these shores. For the purposes of this thread let's exclude Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood even though they fit the definition precisely because that's a whole other subject.
A description that also applies to Corbyn's Labour party, with the exception of the military power bit as he would disband the military and surrender our defences to Moscow.
in a 21st century liberal society such as the uk, the tories, ukip dup are on the right. i dont think we need to be comparing ourselves with the more extreme out there just so as we can consider ourselves lucky and rest on our laurels.
The accusation isn’t they are right, it’s that they are far right. Which itself then brings up comparisons which are unpalatable and just wrong.
Would agree, most of our parties are a click or two away from the centre and although I am starting to get worried by how many more clicks labour are moving away from the centre. In general however most of our parties are in the middle third and the fringe silly ones, edl, bnp, communist party etc are more a minority movement than a party and their appeal is incredibly small and limited.

I'd have thought that the majority of liberal types would be happy about that, every year it's on its followed by banning calls and accusations of barbarity. See Duke, Brexit does have silver linings
Toff types in top hats that you despise, champagne hooray Henrey & Henriettas. Billionaire horse owners that pay no tax into treasury coffers. Irish trainers taking money out of the UK. People generally having fun on a day out. All things you despise, so must be over the moon. They are quickly running out of things that are under threat due to Brexit, is there anything left? "Sunrise and sunset at risk due to Brexit" is a headline I expect to see very soon.
Well, project fear is in full flow today. From a very credible and trustowrthy source without an agenda too. Story They'll never learn.
Belgiums, they're the problem. Have been irrelevant for years and so any opportunity for some limelight they're at it like Alex Salmond....allegedly
