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

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?

Please don't try and second-guess me.
I don't watch Sky News

Why would women not be invited???

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.

You're still showing us who you are. As you were.

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.

Can you link it please

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?

Why that first line? It doesn’t make sense.

You obviously don't live in an inner city and does your DD get told she is 10 years away from a council house

What makes your daughter any more important just because she was lucky enough to be born here and not a refugee fleeing war and opression?

I 100% agree OP. I think we should be very worried - I studied history and the parallels are striking

Maybe you should stop being so pick me and join your fellow women.

How do you know women were invited?

They were not. It's an organisation of men.

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.

How many of these protestors actually work? Most working people I know are in bed at 2am because they have work the next day and also don’t want to risk losing their jobs by being filmed engaging in thuggery.

Yes, but the comparison is not the same

there is and never had been any problems caused by Jewish people. I think there is a legitimate conversation to have about immigration, and successive governments’ complete inability to assess those issues or even permit conversation about it has given oxygen to right wing parties.

Britain is a very centrist and tolerant country but also has a strong sense of fairness. The state of the Uk at the moment doesn’t feel fair. 2 years ago the population voted to get rid of the conservatives because they were failing. They didnt actually swing to the left and choose Labour, it was just a rejection of the failing party in power.

the situation is recoverable but will take some tough choices. Labour have shown they’re not prepared to do that - the mildest of welfare reform was utterly rejected by the party.

Im really sorry but what you say about Jewish people completely misses the point about the scapegoating of minority groups / immigrants. It is a different group this time but the rhetoric is the same

There type never make sense but conflate two separate issues to make a straw man argument.

they’re beyond transparent. The only homophobes I see openly so tend to be at the Pro Palestine rallies organised and supported by the left.

Yet a tolerant lefty can infiltrate a conference and then complain when she's not wanted. Bless them. They do like to call the shots and end up going out with a whimper.

Watching Sky News is irrelevant, the interview comments have been published or shown on every news outlet admittedly unsure about GB News as I don't watch it. Perhaps, they are bias and didn't broadcast it. How can you know the story but not know this?

Because she has worked since she left school and paid her taxes. Because she privately rents she cannot afford to save a deposit for a mortgage so why shouldn't she get some benefit. Not long ago our council had a strict rule you must have local connections to get a council house not anymore. You keep believing it's fair that if she arrived on a dinghy she would be sorted.

The tolerant left is eating itself up from their rotten insides to the out.

They cannot even define what a woman is.

They have tried to be everything to everyone but that’s it’s dangerous. They do not go into Muslim majority areas and preach about transgender rights. Why is that?

DeathNote11 · Today 19:09

It’s not just the far right that’s rising — the right in general is. I’ve never known so many people describing themselves as centre-right. I suspect a lot of them would probably have called themselves Conservative once, before the party made itself virtually unelectable.

Politics is changing, and frankly, it’s right that it does. We’re not living in the post-WW2 world anymore, so why would we expect the political priorities of 80 years ago to still be the right ones for today?

No you instead accuse them of being homophobic whilst the actual homophobes actions do not even get a mention.

You do realise there are plenty of right-wing people, including well known journalists who are also gay don’t you?

Maybe because I have to earn a living and don't have time to watch TV all day.
