Far right incidents are on the rise. The individuals carrying out the actions were just as far right as they are now before the incidents began to rise. They are ACTING on their beliefs, because there is an impression that the public mindset is shifting towards one that "quietly" supports the underlying philosophies of those extreme actions.

Katie Hopkins and Nigel Farage aren't going to kill anyone but I absolutely guarantee that their words lead to killing.
