The UK is falling for the far right

[vetran]

Just over half the country are racists and Nazis apparently. If only we stayed in the bliss of teh EU.

nope not in those two.

oh look UKIP gets a mention. Controlling immigration is apparently the far right.

Rise of Right-Wing Politics Changes Europe


The granuaid does mention the BNP who got 0.0% of the vote in the last general election. Big players obviously.

Seems anything right of centre is far right these days.

From what I read these organisations are actually pretty nasty, They are also getting >10% of the national Vote which is why its amusing they keep saying the UK is racist & Brexiters are a bunch of Nazis.

Nope.

The issue is that one of our MPs got killed by someone shouting a far right slogan.

Also 2 of the largest mainstream political parties have incorporated far right fears into their political philosophies instead of admitting the truth of how they both fecked up in government.

I guess I meant the UK - don't know much about this lot on the continent.

plenty of people have been killed by nutters with all kind of extreme beliefs, sad as it is why does her being an MP make any real difference?

That may be closer to the money. However it seems to be grass roots rejection of unrestrained immigration and poor integration then politicians reacting to it

I've never bought this UKIP = fascist stuff. UKIP are a democratic party in that if they are ever elected, they could be unelected at a future election. They are racist, but fascist / Nazi are entirely different.

But it seems like the poor stupid snowflake Brexiteers like to feel sorry for themselves because they're being picked on by those clever meanies.

I do agree there is a lot of crying wolf when the figures suggest we are nowhere nearly as racist as the rest of the EU or the world. I believe naked racism among educated people is rare among British raised people.

It's because an MP represents British democracy.

While it isn't fair some people are symbols that represent more than who just being a human. So for example when someone attempted to kidnap Prince Anne they were doing more than kidnapping a person as it was a strike at the monarchy and in turn the British Constitution.

Both those political parties had a chance while they were in government to do things about it.

Oddly Blair's ID card idea was probably him trying to do something by the back door when he realised he fecked up. As other EU countries kick out EU migrants if they can't prove they can support themselves after 3-4 months but you can only do that if they register who they are. (In lots of countries you can simply come back again within 7 days though you have to cross the border to another EU country for that time.)

Yes that did happen, 1 person in about 50 million white people in the UK.

3 million Muslims in the UK, 1000 of them went to Syria to fight for ISIS.

1 in 3000 compared to 1 in 50 million.

Are you able to rationalise that?
