However he does need to address the elephant in the room, which as @Livia has pointed out earlier in the thread herself, Far Right Politics wouldn't be growing if the Left weren't also going more Politically extreme too.

It's gotten so bad in this country, that you're seen as a 'fence sitter' if you're more in the centre Politically.

But neither side can see it in themselves, and that's why this problem won't go away anytime soon.

It does make me smile when people go on about the Far Right. I do acknowledge there is a small contingent of thugs who steam in and drag everyone down with them. Everyone can see it. Everyone saw it last Saturday. The behaviour of some was shameful. That's something you will never hear from the Far Left because they think their actions are always justified.

I recently watched a programme about Rock Against Racism in the 70/80s, White Riot. I urge everyone to watch it. Back then the Far Right was just that, Far Right, the National Front, Column 88, uneducated bullies who had the audacity to sieg heiling on the streets, who wore Nazi regalia and wanted the immediate deportation of ALL black people. They were the dregs of human society. The people marching with union flags now are, almost without exception, ordinary people, while they may be on the Right, no way are they Far Right. They do not want the removal of all people who are black, indeed there were black people marching with them. What they want is the removal of undocumented illegals who've landed on our shores with the tender help of the farcically named Border Force and Lifeboats, a charity that exists on donations from the public but which the Government forces to act as taxis.

The Right recognises the Far Right. The Far Left are so indoctrinated, so radicalised they can't see the dangerous path down which they're heading and it's peopled largely by those who don't now and never have contributed to British society and therefore have no stake in it.
