Not content with providing home for people with disturbing far right views, Farage started looking for far-left recruits. Enter Claire Fox "a former member of the Revolutionary Communist party who is still involved in some of its successor organisations, such as the Academy of Ideas, which she heads"

Nigel Farage’s Brexit party has unveiled a former revolutionary communist who once supported Irish republicanism and opposed the Good Friday peace deal as one of five new candidates for the European elections.

Then came the latest recruits to the Brexit party, the men and women of the left who lived and breathed class struggle. First up was professional contrarian Claire Fox, a woman with a complicated past. To put it kindly. She is a former member of the Revolutionary Communist party, which failed to condemn the Warrington IRA bombers and accused ITN of exaggerating war crimes in Bosnia. Letting her bygones be bygones, she now just expects others to conform to standards on the Moral Maze to which she can only dream. Farage should be more careful of the company he keeps.

Tho can't help noticing your writeup about her Arista omitted some unsavoury views of hers
[Former Communist Party member Claire Fox is the director of the Academy of Ideas,
which she established to create a public space where ideas can be contested without constraint.
She is a panelist on BBC Radio 4’s The Moral Maze and is frequently invited to comment on developments i
n culture, education, media and free speech issues on TV and
radio programmes in the UK such as Newsnight and Any Questions?]
