      There can be only one Jezzy Bell (end).
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        Sort of with you, except I'd go in 20s...
        20% Far Right
        20% Right
        20% Central
        20% Left
        20% Far Left

        To me, the "unacceptable" end is the extreme far left/right. And I'd say "extreme" is where you would actively go out of your way to be physically violent to someone who doesn't agree with you, or you support/promote those activities.

        e.g. Momentum is far left. But I don't believe it is extreme (although I'm sure it contains some people with extreme viewpoints)

          Did you ask to become a moderator or did someone decide you would be a good fit?

          "well they all keep calling each other cretins, lets put a real, 100% cretin in charge"

            Seriously, did you have an aneurysm? Some medical reason for your stupidity?

            I just can't process that you managed to carry off a series of rational posts for long enough to get asked to be a moderator.

              List the following people in terms of how far right they are:

              Enoch Powel
              Tommy Robinson
              Nick Griffin
              Nigel Farage
              Jacob Rees Mogg
              Boris Johnson
              Margaret Thatcher
              Tony Blair
              Bean

              Then decide which are "right wing" and which (if any) are "far right"
              Why are you deflecting?

              Ok then,
              What is your definition of far right?
              What is the generally accepted definition?

              Where in any of the links you posted does guido Fawkes qualify?

                Given, you called the guido website extremist. according to what your definition posted above, where does the website promote/support violence?

                  Extremes tend to have fewer adherents so 10% at the extremes makes sense and 40% in the centre. You also have to remember lots of people don't care about politics until it affects them!

                  The problem with many of the positions is that it is normally decided by how the policy affects the individual person. My Kids were all for free tuition fees until I pointed out that the Universities wouldn't be able to afford to teach them without fees.

                  Unplanned low skill immigration doesn't really affect me, I have a well paid professional job, stacks of savings and a nice big house that I own. However it does affect friends who have a family of 5 in a 2 bed flat / 4 in a 1 bed flat with depressed wages in their fairly unskilled jobs. I think its wrong but might vote for a policy that affects me more.

                  Many dislike unions until they help you personally. Even so it is unhealthy the way Labour and the Unions are bound together.

                  Many may like green power on both sides of the fence, the right may suggest it should be cost effective. That dirty bit of capitalism that comes with being conservative.
                  Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                    Why Donald Trump attacks the media - BBC News

                    29 July 2018


                    Full transcript: President Trump’s CPAC speech - Vox

                    "They're very dishonest people. In fact, in covering my comments, the dishonest media did not explain that I called the fake news the enemy of the people — the fake news. They dropped off the word “fake”. And all of a sudden the story became the media is the enemy."

                    It's amateur hour at the BBC. But to misquote someone to that extent shows malice.

                      What is your definition of far right?

                      Let's get this right, you're accusing me of deflecting, then rather than answer the simple question, you deflect from it.
