Rise of far right

1000 replies

Sillyme1 · Today 07:00

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

Tories + Reform would implode before the end of the very month they got into power.

I agree but I fear that would be the Farage effect rather than others. I see the likes of Kemi, Jenerick etc being fine but Farage has a major ego but not in an endearing way like one could argue BoJo had.

The way Nige treated Rupert Lowe was quite applying and RL has always been known as a gentleman.

Does anyone remember that video of the rotund political aid shouting at a BABY because the baby’s father believed in single sex spaces.

The baby was a little fascist.

Yes a while back

As a Brit I'm not tolerant of small boats or illegals in any shape or form. sick to death of British people coming second.😡
Bitch me for it I don't care.

Well said I'm watching my neighbourhood declining. Council housing not being allocated to local people. Hos is that fair

When did I say that?

I said the reason that there were no (or only a couple) of women in the protest was because they know how dangerous these men are and that they’ll likely be attacked.

I didn’t say all 300 would immediately jump them.

Why do you think no women were there???

Where's your evidence they will likely be attacked? You've been saying it all day.

Hundreds of men managed to go, yet you’re telling me not 1 woman was free to be able to attend.

But you claim to be right winged - therefore you also agree that gay people are not welcome.

Do you think the protestors over the weekend are pro-gay?
Will they also be marching at gay pride?

What about all those “fighting age” men in Portsmouth last night?

My local refugee centres are full of women and children. Yes there are loads of problems. They are traumatised and some are clearly trafficked and will disappear.

I suspect that a lot of people’s anxieties are caused by the massive influx of families from non EU countries taking low paid carers jobs and similar because our fellow patriots won’t do jobs that actually require them to look after their elders, which is weird because I’m sure it would really speak to their Christian values eh?

Uk residents can't afford to work as carers- the annual pay for a full time carer is apparently up to £24k on full time hours. In many places in UK that wont cover your rent let alone allow you to live a decent quality of life- unless its topped up by UC or you're willing to live in an HMO with 10 other people. The private companies behind the care homes are generating large net profits tho. You really need to start thinking about who really benefits from massive influxes of labour. Rather than blaming people for not accepting long and unsociable working hours for not much benefit.

@BrandiedAromatics Their celebration of this attack on a woman, who does not agree with them,

Where are these 'celebrations' shown ??

Interview with Jon Sopel on Sky News, Jenrick was ridiculing the woman who was hurt but you know that, why you trying to pretend their commentary on the incident wasn't anything but morally repugnant and hypocritical?

You don’t think accusing someone of turning their child into a fascist because they want single sex spaces is not amusing?

Even the news presenters who showed the footage were laughing.

I can't really be arsed scrolling back to see if there's a specific protest which isn't Dover or Portsmouth that you're talking about so I'll assume you mean Dover or Portsmouth. I've just watched a video of a woman kayaking out to hand supplies to the protestors who were in the sea. I can't find any footage of her being attacked.

See there your sort go again.

A religious fanatic told a gay person they’re not welcome at a protest for Palestine and you’re saying because I’m right wing I must therefore agree.

by your appalling logic, you being left wing and pro Palestine, you must agree with her because your ilk go out to bat for them.

Someone should have told all the right wing Tories they joined the wrong party.

clutching at straws because you have no retort for what was presented, instead you accuse others of being homophobic besides the actual people being homophobic.

It’s not a rise in the far right, it’s a rise in ordinary British citizens fed up paying for illegal men to be here when they’re struggling to feed themselves.

Ahhh yes that’s right!

Because the right are misogynistic and don’t see women as equal.

The fact that you are apparently a women and still claim to support these men who see women as inferior, is absolutely shocking.
