Rise of far right

[Sillyme1]

Any one else worried about the rise of the far right in Europe. Churchill once said ‘those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it’. Obviously social conditions are different from the 1930s, but there are similarities such as using immigrants as scapegoats (not Jews this time). Things can so easily escalate and I admit to being worried

Define what? I've defined it many times. Every one from anywhere on the planet is British. They just have to get here.

Definitely. Night dreams and day dreams both.

I'll take that as confirmation that you can't answer the question.

Fair enough. Lots of people post shit on MN without being able to defend or explain their position, so you are not alone.

You are being really offensive and unkind.

Yes, you've put it in a nutshell. Farage, Jenrick, Anderson - diminished themselves by supporting that attack. They could have condemned the woman for her beliefs without supporting group physical attack on her.

It does not give us confidence that these men will condemn attacks against women.

You don't want an answer, you simply want to tell us we don't exist.

I think Lemon will take this as a compliment unfortunately. Badge of honour.

Who's 'we'? Who doesn't exist? This is downright bizarre.

No it doesn't!

Farage, Jenrick and Anderson have massively undermined Sarah Pochin, who launched a Reform Women's Network at the conference to fight against VAWG.

Oh right, how depressing to default to that position all of the time!

Well, if a clearly defined "native population" did exist, I'm pretty sure that you'd have given me an answer by now. And yet you keep evading the question.

Like I said, it's ok not to be able to defend your arguments. It's actually a very common problem for those whose arguments are based on prejudice rather than rational thought. But you should be aware that it does tend to rather undermine your stance.

Yes, rhetoric certainly not backed up by reality!

It's government policy though and has been for decades. Are you offended by government immigration policy?

I’m a leftist and believe in single sex spaces.

I also don’t believe that rape is ok, regardless of age, sex or race - I’ve never been told to shut up about it.

You cannot be against rape and report to be far right in the same sentence.

The far right are anti-feminist and believe that rape is a right.

I’m not sure why you as a woman would say you are supporting them.

I think you may be confused.

Exactly this!

How childish.

I'm simply describing consecutive government's own policy on immigration and the usual claim that natives don't exist made by the anglophobic.

That is how the far right ended, but it’s not how they started.
They started as street thugs, and uniformed marches, book burning, and routine violence towards minorities.
I make no apology in saying that Reform is Far Right, and they are only travelling one way.

What is, the policy or describing it?

Wow nice deflection. If you can not understand my post and what was inferred, then I think it’s you that is confused.

Are you around men that would behave like that in the Reform Conference audience? How do you justify that behaviour towards a woman, do you not think this is testament to their party values?

I said this thread is about the rise of FAR right ideology.

You said it was absolute tosh and listed the things you do and don’t agree with and suggested that being against rape or same sex spaces means you’re far right - which is BS because I’m a left and also against these things (so are the majority of MNers) and in fact far right members do not care about rape at all.

So exactly how am I deflecting?

And how exactly is the thread being about the rise in FAR right ideology absolute tosh (when it’s literally in the title)

I can trace family tree in England back to the 15th Century. However, I do have family heritage from a Scandinavian country that was only the last century. Oh dear, I suppose I fail your test.
