On the side of hope and not hate but am disappointed in humanity. Am expecting the worst but would love to be wrong. Pay attention to the important stuff and filter out noise. Trying hard not to despair.

Superb, important analysis of the profound harm Farage does to our country in his rabidly racist and egotistical bid for power

The fact that far too many people cannot recognize fascism unless it looks exactly like Nazi Germany is very dangerous.

Interesting what Crick notes.
Farage like Mogg and Johnson are really just grown up versions of their teenage selves. Lots of public school boys leave fully formed - and armed with an entitlement and a sense of empowerment that takes them through the rest of their lives.

On why Farage doesn’t apologise for his schoolboy racism:
“if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too.’ ”
Exactly.
He is racist. So are his voters. He can’t be pissing them off by saying sorry.

Illegal migration isn't tearing this country apart, but our obsession with it is. It's an obsession fuelled by our media and politicians. Both profit from blowing the problem out of all proportion. It's been happening for decades, but never more so than now

I despair of these increasingly hateful policies which only reinforces negative views on immigration and refugees. Sensible politicians need to clearly point out that the country needs immigrants and the positives that immigration brings. Talk about individual stories representing wider themes.
I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.
Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

Off the top of my head, there have been four egregious examples of weapons grade public racism in the last couple of weeks - Jenrick; the Express hack; Captain Concrete & the Reform woman. The way they are treated by employers, punters & wider media, will directly influence how much more we see.
