Current Affairs The Far Right

[orchard]

Possibly mate but then again Bernard will be mobbed by fans if we sign him and it won’t carry the same intimidatory feel as that crowd , well unless he’s gone to Chelsea .

You take my point though it’s not easy picking the right word , again I think the article is far to weak to convey what took place .

Rent-a-mob wearing 'mgbga' merchandise wanders into bookshop and loiters awkwardly as a couple of prebriefed ringleaders grapple to find some book titles that may trigger the uninformed. Meanwhile, they attempt to intimidate the owner to react to their aggressive presence whilst singing Trump songs and damaging a few books. There appears to be nothing of nationalistic import, at least pertaining to these shores.

I suppose the irony of poorly educated young men being indoctrinated by those who seek to exploit them to do bad things in the name of their cause will be lost on them.

Not just men ffs

The right are being empowered by a shift in the political landscape and as I say a parade of people on mainstream media that would have been on infowars a few years ago .

I don’t know if Brexit has been a contributing factor but it feels highly relevant.

I honestly believe what's empowered this Right-movement most of all is the common rejection of the Progressive Left Doctrine.

In spite of this mass rejection, this doctrine (commonly known as identity politics) is still infesting mainstream publications, even to the point of character-assassination of the most promising potential Prime Minister since John Smith.

The traditional Left, and the Centre, who have rejected this doctrine still have little obvious compass in the media. Whereas the Right do.

Mobbed?

Possibly mate

Earlier I called it intimidation & harrassment. I think that's a fair call.

I’ve said earlier mate I think it was disgraceful

Exactly, much the same as antifa

I think you can criticise antifa if you think it’s a similar group but protests against Britain first or the edl is to be completely different than turning up mob handed at a bookshop . I suppose you could , potentially , compare it to those who turned up to protest at the cereal or the winston Churchill cafe’s .

I don’t think that was particularly antifa , other than in its loosest possible sense . Like this isn’t a UKIP protest but clearly there are connections , I do think the fact that it’s a bookshop feels even more unpleasant but that’s maybe just me.

I just think these people have the same mind set in using violence and intimidation

We may or may not disagree on that mate but your presumably feel the same then about the edl , Britain first and the rest so Your issue is across the board ?

I think my issue with the blanket criticism of antifa is it’s seems to be an across the board term for anyone opposed to the right . I find it perfectly reasonable for people to protest against fascism, this country has a history of fighting against fascism. If your talking about wanton violence then I’m obviously not condoning that.

Of course, that applies to them all, right or left

The Tory Party with their Islamophobia are headed down a very dark tunnel.


If the Johnson Gang take control (as I'd expect him or one of his acolytes to do shortly) then there could be a slip and a slide toward totalitarianism and all that goes with it.

The British public they consulted must be 'kin thick.

Yep, and that’s exactly why this sort of dog whistle populism works.
